Shredders for potatoes and vegetables
Trimmings are raw product you have paid for. The shredder returns offcuts from peeling, cutting and sorting to further processing – for example to the potato flakes line.

Size reduction: our designs
Every design is engineered for your raw product, its degree of soiling and your target capacity.
Shredder
Feed hopper, cutting unit and discharge in a compact design. Version and cut size are defined for each project.
Design
What matters when sizing the machine.
This is the information we need to recommend the right design and size for you.
-
01
Origin
Off-cuts from cutting, rejects from inspection or undersizes from grading.
-
02
Further use
The target size depends on the follow-on product, for example the potato flakes line.
-
03
Quantity
How much material accumulates per hour? This determines the machine size.
-
04
Infeed
Whether by belt, screw or pump: the infeed determines hopper and layout.

Size reduction: frequently asked questions
They go back into value creation. The shredder returns residual pieces from peeling, cutting and sorting steps to further processing, for example into the potato flakes line.
Off-cuts are raw material you have paid for. They can come from cutting, as rejects from inspection or as undersizes from grading.
Design and cut size are defined per project. The target size depends on the follow-on product.
The shredder consists of a feed hopper, cutting unit and discharge in a compact design.
Feeding can be by belt, screw or pump; it determines hopper and layout. We build the matching conveying technology ourselves.
The machine size follows from the amount of material that accumulates per hour. Tell us where the material comes from and the approximate quantity in kg/h.
