Innovators in cutting technology for potato chips and snacks

FAM STUMABO started a revolution with the introduction of the new Centris™ machine line featuring patented centrifugal slicing and shredding technology. The patented SureSet cutting heads set new quality standards with innovative 12 and 16-blade cutting heads enhancing the cutting process with pre-set slice thickness accuracy and up to double capacity. Daily operations were simplified by their light weight and reduced cleaning time. The Centris line of machines has significantly reduced the operational costs and usability.

Thorough produce knowledge for the best cutting result

Our application specialists continually expand their understanding of the parameters that affect the cutting of different potato varieties. These include the infeed product size, surface condition, texture and other factors, such as whether they are stored or field fresh.

 

Only then can we select the cutting solution that delivers the greatest value and best result for our customers.

Continuous process solutions

Over the years, FAM STUMABO has built strong partnerships with leading potato processors worldwide. We design machines, blades and cutting heads that respond to your unique processing needs. Their overall goal is fryer stability. We understand the impact of slice accuracy on the frying step, preventing acrylamide formation, reducing scrap, preventing excess moisture and optimising oil uptake.

 

To help optimise your production process, we partner with leading suppliers of total line solutions on continuous lines. This means we can provide cutting equipment that connects, communicates and works seamlessly with the rest of your setup. We can integrate our machines perfectly into all known snack processing lines whether it is a continuous potato chip line or vegetable chips line.
