Sormac is bringing its latest machinery and end-to-end line engineering to INTERPOM 2026, taking place from 29 November to 1 December in Kortrijk, Belgium.

At Booth 165, the company is demonstrating how its specialised peeling and cutting technology helps fresh potato processors optimise yield, maintain consistent product quality, and drive operational efficiency.

The showcase highlights four core machines operating live on the floor, alongside complete system integration capabilities ranging from stand-alone units to fully automated processing lines.

Precision peeling and finishing

Sormac’s live demonstrations emphasise diverse peeling tailored to specific product requirements and final presentation standards:

• Peeling Machine CBS: engineered with a carborundum-coated drum and peeling disc, this unit removes skin from potatoes and other root vegetables. It handles products ranging from 10 to 180 mm in diameter at capacities up to 350 kg per hour, utilising interchangeable abrasive grades to adapt the peeling aggressiveness to the raw material.
• Peeling Machine MBS: Designed to deliver a smooth, hand-peeled appearance, the MBS utilises a knife insert instead of abrasives. It processes products from 35 to 180 mm in diameter at up to 350 kg per hour, backed by interchangeable product guides that ensure precise positioning throughout the cycle.
• Knife Peeler UP-6000: While optimised for elongated root vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, and daikon, the UP-6000 combines flexible blade arms with high-speed processing. The blades actively follow individual product contours to achieve a hand-peeled finish with minimal waste, processing items from 20 to 65 mm in diameter (with a minimum length of 150 mm) at up to 6,000 pieces per hour.
• Sliver Remover SR: Closing out the processing line, the SR separates unwanted by-products — such as thin fragments and irregular pieces generated during cutting and dicing — at capacities up to 3,000 kg per hour using adjustable separation settings.

From standalone units to complete processing lines

Beyond individual machinery, Sormac’s engineering expertise spans complete semi-automatic and fully automated lines tailored for the fresh potato industry. Notably, the company also supplies industry-leading knife peeling solutions specifically configured for re-peeling rejected steam-peeled potatoes used in chips and frozen French fries production.

Configurations are built around individual product characteristics, target capacities, and specific plant layouts, with full flexibility to integrate third-party equipment. By managing concept development, engineering, manufacturing, installation, and service internally, Sormac provides processors with comprehensive support from initial design to full-scale plant operation.

Industry professionals attending INTERPOM 2026 can visit Sormac at Booth 165 to evaluate the equipment first-hand and consult with technical specialists.
