Forming 

The shredder reduces the size of the incoming product. The size of the shred influences the outlook and texture of the product. The Nex-Shred uses a wide range of different shredding plates to make very fine (almost mash) shreds up to large potato shreds.

The Nex-Gem 4 builds on the trusted features of its predecessor while offering several important upgrades that set it apart:

• Simplified Straight Feed
• Dependable Locking Transition
• Compact Body Design
• Upgraded Door Seals
• Increased Production Capacity
• Advanced Monitoring
• Feedback Lighting System

While we’ve added numerous enhancements, the Nex-Gem 4 retains the features that have made it a trusted choice for food producers worldwide:

• ISP Total Control System
• On-the-Fly Weight Adjustment
• Quick Change Product Shapes
• Wash-In-Place (WIP) System
• Fully Enclosed Unibody Design

The continuous paddle mixer has a horizontal shaft with individually adjustable paddles to create the optimal mixing intensity Shredded potato and ingredients, (modified) starch, potato flakes or granules are mixed into the desired consistency to form the right product.

Given the wide variety of recipes used to make formed specialties, batch mixers are used to give the processor maximum flexibility.

Adding additives, such as SAPP and dextrose, to the potato product ensures desired potato color.
