Sormac potato processing line for use in care of the disabled
Mr Fred Raupers and his team at Lebenshilfe Gifhorn GmbH consider it a great success and a fine piece of workmanship. “The potato peeling line consists of an infeed reception hopper, a transport belt, a screw de-stoner, a MS-Combi knife peeler, a dipping tank, inspection tables and the AFW-40/DB weighing machine. This line is manned by people with different talents, ambitions and skills. It is very important for us to offer our people a challenge every day but in a completely safe environment. The installation was adapted to these special circumstances on a number of points and, compared to standard lines, has a number of larger & stronger workplaces so that no unnecessary work pressure arises and each employee can work at their own pace.”
The various elements of the processing line have been configured to provide good wheelchair access. This meant that the product sometimes had to be fed upwards and later downwards again. Another requirement was that work on the inspection tables could be carried out in a sitting position. “Sormac listened to us very well and incorporated our set of requirements in a perfect potato line.” With Sormac, too, being different is quite normal!
