FAM STUMABO - Scalibur (Potato Slicing Solutions)

Scalibur™ is an innovative slicer providing next-level cutting solutions for slicing potatoes. This revolutionary slicer features dual rotation technology, a system where the cutting head rotates in addition to the impeller. 

Controlled gentle cutting is achieved through this unique technology as where previously the potato was pushed against the static knife, the blade slices now through the potato and at a lower speed. The fact that the centrifugal force created by the impeller is independent of the cutting velocity results in less impact damage to the cell structure of the potato.

Features

• Cut quality benefits: Less impact damage to the potato cell structure, smoother potato slices and cracking reduced to almost zero.
• Yield benefits due to reduced starch and scrap loss resulting in less contamination of the fryer.
• Patented Smart Slicing for optimized process control: Allows setting of the differential speed to improve slice quality for potatoes with different gravities, automatic product jam detection
• Cost savings: Lower parts consumption and repair cost by lowering the impact energy of small stones or other foreign objects on the blades and segments, communication outputs can be used to identify and mitigate system jams shortening the cutter downtime
• Compatible with the industry-proven SureSet 16-blade slicing heads with built-in Stone Defender components.

Applications

• Scalibur is widely used in the potato chips/ crisps industry. It also delivers perfect results in the production of vegetable chips from car­rots, beetroot, sweet potato, taro, parsnip, etc.
• This versatile machine can be supplied with a full range of interchangeable cutting heads. Different types of cuts can be produced: flat, crinkle or V-cut slices or sticks in many dimensions. 
• A complete overview of all shapes is available upon request.
