Bedfordshire-based Parripak Foods, are one of the largest processors of fresh vegetables to chilled food manufacturers in the country, and have been peeling potatoes for 20 years. With capacity of 300 tonnes per week of peeled potatoes, they have recently seen a significant increase in the demand for chilled prepared potatoes. Some of this is due to increased demand and some due to industry consolidation.
Parripak has made significant investment in their potato processing line, which incorporates sophisticated technology such as optical grading. This investment has doubled their capacity on peeled output and their 2 peeling lines give them huge flexibility in the type of finished product offered. They are now geared to high volume lines which can produce whole peeled, sliced, diced julienne to name but a few, and this flexibility has also proved attractive to customers with extremely tight JIT deadlines.
