Key Technology will present a focused set of technologies for potato processing at Interpack 2026 in Hall 6, Stand B73. The company says its latest solutions are designed to help processors improve product recovery, simplify operation and support more reliable conveying and seasoning performance on the line.

For processors running wet potato strip lines, incoming raw product variability remains a major challenge. Defect loads can range from 10% to 40%, and every piece of usable product that is removed unnecessarily directly affects yield and margins. At Interpack 2026, Key Technology will highlight how its experience in automatic defect removal has shaped recent advances in sensing and system design.

Key ADR X (Automatic Defect Removal)

On wet potato strip lines, high defect loads can make it difficult to recover usable product without removing good material. Key Technology says its automatic defect removal systems have long been used to precisely trim affected areas in order to recover more usable product.

The new ADR X builds on that base with advanced multi-channel sensing to improve detection of subtle defects such as green discoloration. The company says a redesigned sanitary architecture also supports long production runs with faster cleaning and reduced maintenance.
