Cavendish Farms, one of the larger potato processors producing frozen french fries in North America, is equipping its new, state-of-the-art production facility in Lethbridge, Alberta with TOMRA’s Eco steam peelers.

Reducing its carbon footprint and increasing process efficiency played a role in that decision, according to Cavendish Farms.

“Steam peeling has for a long time been the most efficient method of removing skin from the surface of vegetables.”

“TOMRA’s Eco steam peeler is not only the fastest steam peeler; it is also the most efficient in the industry, using 28 per cent less steam than other peelers of its type.”

“We were the first to introduce high pressure steam peeling to the vegetable processing industry and we continue to invent technologies to improve steam peeling performance.”

“The Eco steam peeler enables processors to reduce the energy consumed in the process to levels not seen in the industry before.”

“At Cavendish Farms, we pride ourselves on high quality products and exceeding our customers’ expectations.”

“We are a family food company that puts pride, dedication and a whole lot of know-how into everything we grow, and everything we make.”

“By partnering with TOMRA Food, we expect to achieve significant savings in energy costs and raw materials to produce the highest quality frozen potato products.”
