Kiremko Adds RFID to Potato-Cutting Machinery

Kiremko, a Dutch engineering company that specializes in potato processing equipment, has launched KnifeGuard, a new RFID-enabled system for managing the knife blocks installed in the company's QuadraFlow potato cutter. A knife block is a replaceable cube-shaped unit containing a grid of razor-sharp knives, and is available in various configurations, depending on a potato's desired cut size. In a QuadraFlow machine, potatoes are propelled by water through a tube, where they are aligned and then pushed into the knife block, causing them to be sliced.
