Sorters maximize product quality at British chipmaker
As the largest British-owned potato chip manufacturer with the top-selling brand of chips in Northern Ireland, Tayto has a proven recipe for success. While most potato chip manufacturers rely on camera-only sorters, Tayto installed four new Optyx digital sorters from Key Technology, Walla, Walla, WA, to maximize the removal of defects and foreign material.
The four Optyx 6000 camera/laser sorters were installed on two batch-fry lines and two continuous-fry lines at three Tayto locations. These systems help elevate Tayto to a higher standard of production and better control of final product quality.
