For equal and optimal filling of the potatoes, the machine is set up with a vibration chute. The machine has a frequency drive system. The drive mechanism consists of rotating aligning rollers, which are driven from both sides of the machine on a conveyor chain.
The self-aligning rollers can facilitate 4 aligned products across the width of the roller bed. Once the potatoes have been positioned exactly at the centre of the knives by the centring unit, they are taken to the cutting section where 2 products are cut simultaneously.
