Kiremko is proud to announce that they have sold 30 of the best steam peelers on the market in just over 30 months’ time. Made in Europe and the US, supplied globally.

Cor Koole, Project Manager at Aviko Belgium:

“We didn't know of this anniversary of the Kiremko STRATA Invicta® steam peeler at the moment we bought it.”

“We just bought it because it offers us the highest reliability. We know the Kiremko STRATA Invicta® from other Aviko locations. Yield, capacity, operational reliability and total cost of ownership were our main focus.”

“As always – with new major projects, like Poperinge – we had a good look at what the market has to offer and again Kiremko came out as the best. I's always nice when your choice is acknowledged by others.”

“That is how we see the celebration of the 30th Kiremko STRATA Invicta® they sold to us. And we congratulate them with this impressive milestone.”

Industry 4.0: Artificial intelligent operator systems

To optimize efficiency of the STRATA Invicta® steam peeler Kiremko designed the PeelGuard®.

Andy Gowing, director of Kiremko:

“The PeelGuard® is an optical in-line inspection, equipped with a weigh belt, so the exact peel result can be calculated accurately. The system detects the thickness of the removed skin and cooking ring, in order to continuously optimize the steam peeler settings.”

“This way, the PeelGuard® guarantees a constantly optimized peeling yield and up-to-date information with respect to quality of raw material used. This information can be made available to the customer's MES and/or ERP systems.”
