The next revolution in centrifugal slicing technology for potato chips

FAM Centris™ product line featuring the SureSet 16 cutting head
FAM proudly presents our new the FAM Centris™ product line, for the centrifugal slicing of potato and vegetable chips. Thoroughly tested and in production since 2015, the line has delivered better efficiency, higher ROI, and lower cost of ownership than any existing solution on the market. The line consists of 9 patented and patent-pending technologies, including:

Better revenue, better quality, longer life, and lower costs

User-friendly, innovative design: improved line efficiency

Unmatched quality: Set & Forget and DualStage Impeller

When you are manufacturing your product, the last thing you want to worry about is consistency. The need for top-flight quality is a major reason we introduced the SureSlice technology,, consisting of SureSet cutting heads and the DualStage impeller. Our design guarantees that your quality is never compromised and assures knife stability without the need for adjustment during processing.

How does SureSlice technology work?
• You set the SureSet dial on the cutting head to meet your thickness requirement. Changing the setting occurs quickly as needed.
• The DualStage impeller keeps each potato free from shifting at all times. Additionally, two potatoes can be sliced simultaneously, which increases the capacity without sacrificing quality.

Minimize acrylamide

Protecting your customers’ wellbeing
The food industry is constantly looking for ways to reduce the formation of acrylamide in potato chips. We know you are doing everything possible, from using different varieties of potatoes, exploring tuber genetics, adjusting harvest times, improving storage conditions, managing frying temperatures and time, better soaking, and the use of additives.

Our solution for minimizing the amount of acrylamide in your product is by improving the consistency of your chips. That’s exactly what the SureSet 16 cutting head does for you: the higher cut quality and accuracy lead to fryer stability, which diminishes the risk of acrylamide.

Minimize damage from pebbles.

No home for a rolling stone!
Pebbles in your raw products can be a real menace. They can damage your machine and cutting heads so thoroughly that you have to stop production to replace parts. Those days are behind you with the SmartSet 16. Our smart design minimizes the damage done by pebbles.

Our new design combats pebble damage from start to finish, starting with the way your potatoes are fed via the effect of centripetal force from y the impeller to the improved sandgates in the segments and the sturdiness of the material. We are doing everything within our power to reduce damage from pebbles and the costs associated with this issue..
