Food Processing Plant Technology (IMAGE)
Caption
Lamb-Weston plants worldwide are using a new technology that instantly detects blade breakage in knife grids used to cut potatoes into French fries. A broken blade is detected and replaced in less than a second, resulting in a more consistent product and less waste. Engineers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Lamb-Weston Technical Research Center developed the detection equipment.
