French fries, wedges or other cutting formats: when cut quality directly affects yield and final product appearance, precision and gentle handling become essential. Our Hydraulic Cutting Unit is designed for the continuous cutting of potatoes and other vegetables through hydraulic conveying, using water as the transport medium to minimize mechanical stress and preserve product integrity.
The system integrates with the Nautilus Hydraulic Transport Pump, which accelerates and conveys the product towards the cutting section equipped with interchangeable blade assemblies. The result is a uniform cut, consistent dimensions and high product quality, even on high-capacity processing lines.
After cutting, a vibrating dewatering table separates the product from the transport water and removes scraps and fines, while the hydraulic circuit recovers and recirculates process water to ensure continuous operation. The all-stainless-steel construction guarantees high hygienic standards, robustness and long service life.
Several cutting formats are available, including 10×10 mm and 10×20 mm sticks, as well as wedge configurations. For high-capacity lines, an optional system with a dual cutting unit and automatic switching is available, allowing production to continue even during cleaning or maintenance operations on the main cutting assembly.
