Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0693348A1] Potatoes are conveyed one at a time along a predetermined path (37) ending at a cutter (150) that cuts the potatoes into helical strips. A series of four rings (40,50,60,70) surrounds the path. Each ring has a plurality of nozzles (90) that produce jets of water intersecting at a point in the path. At the outlet of the series of four rings (40,50,60,70) is an orienter (140) through which the potatoes pass. The rings (40,50,60,70) and the orienter (140) align and guide the potatoes as they move along the path (37) and through the cutter (150). <MATH>
