“Sometimes the need for flexibility is bigger than for capacity”

For ambitious, start-up, catering companies, food processors that offer specialised products or companies that need a cutting machine for lower capacity on their lines, flexibility can sometimes be more important than the need for capacity. They naturally don’t want to lose cutting quality. Manual work takes too much time and isn’t constant enough. In this case, FAM Centris 315 and FAM Dorphy could be the solution. These can cut a large variety of fruit and vegetables in many different shapes and sizes, simply by changing the cutting tools.

Arthur David, a family company from the UK, combines the FAM Centris and FAM Dorphy. Originally, the company met a need of local greengrocers. Because of innovation and passion for the trade, the company grew, so that it now also sells prepared food and products under their own label. Arthur David offers a broad range of products, including fresh products, delicacies, frozen products, dairy and baked goods. Their machinery portfolio consists of two FAM Dorphy cube-cutting machines, a FAM Mantis.2 cutting machine and a FAM Centris 315 centrifugal cutting machine. “We’ve worked with FAM for five years now,” says managing director Jon Evans. “In those years, we’ve tested and bought various machines that improved the efficiency of our methods and the quality of the products we supply to our customers.”
