The facility in Inner Mongolia will be commissioned in Q2 2017 and have an Orbit steam peeler, a Titan whole-potato sorter and a Genius French fry sorter. The commissioning and installation of a Tomra peeling and sorting line was launched in Kaida's Beijing potato processing line last year operating at an average output of six tons per hour. Kaida (Beijing Kaida Hengye Agricultural Technology Development Co.) is a vegetable and fruit chips exporter in China with products in Japan, South Korea, Australia, the US and the EU. The company has partnerships with 7-Eleven, Pepsi Co, Kraft, Synear and Sanquan. Liu Chang An, Kaida CEO and chairman, said: " Compared with the 10-30% peeling loss with mechanical peeling, Kaida's new facility in Beijing has a 6% loss, which will generate an additional 1,150 – 6,900 tons of raw material savings per year.
