The automated system enhances cost-effectiveness of ADR - a defect removal system for potato chips - by reducing sanitation and maintenance labour, as well as cost of replacement parts.

Key Technology has introduced the CleanBelt, a new clean-in-place (CIP) system for ADR^? 5, the automatic defect removal system for potato strips. This system is designed to reduce sanitation and maintenance labour, minimise the cost of replacement parts, and help maintain the optimal performance of the ADR 5 system to accurately match product quality to specifications.

“Starch build-up is a persistent problem on potato strip production lines, especially on equipment with moving parts because starch hardens over time and on inspection equipment where build-up over viewing surfaces can degrade system performance,” said Marco Azzaretti, Advanced Inspection Systems Product Manager at Key Technology. “We’re addressing that with CleanBelt – it’s the first clean-in-place system for an ADR belt. Having a consistently clean belt helps the ADR operate at peak performance. We expect CleanBelt will save processors 125 to 200 labour hours per year per ADR system.”

The new system is now a standard feature on all new ADR 5 systems, and an in-field upgrade to processors with installed ADR 5 systems. For processors with older ADR systems, the company offers CleanBelt as a standard feature on upgrades to ADR 5 from ADR II, ADR III, and ADR 4c systems.
