Fam Stumabo, a company that develops industrial cutting machines and manufactures precision knives for the food industry, has innovated the classic potato slicer.
Fam Stumabo has introduced Scalibur, a potato slicer that the company states operates with “unrivalled efficiency”. The machine features a dual rotation technology, where both the cutting head and the impeller rotate for a more controlled cutting process.
Scalibur’s rotating blade replaces the method of pushing potatoes against a static knife, allowing for a lower impact speed that reduces impact damage. The slicer has 3.7 kW dual stainless steel motors, and variable frequency drives for fine-tuned differential speed adjustments.
Supplied with an interchangeable range of cutting heads, Scalibur allows for different types of cuts to be produced: flat, crinkle or V-cut slices or sticks.
The slicer is widely used in potato chip production but is also effective in the production of chips from vegetables such as carrots, beetroot, sweet potatoes, taro, and parsnip.
Fam Stumabo products are distributed in Australia by Victoria-based agent, Summit Machinery Services.
