Innovations
Marcelissen is much more than a manufacturer of food processing machinery. Together with our customers, we look at possibilities for process optimisation, automation and ways in which we can increase the profitability.
In order to do so, it is not only important that we use our passion and expertise for innovative and qualitative solutions and satisfied customers but also that we demonstrate our added value, for all our customers and in everything we do.
Our approach is unique: we start with the end product and the desired end result of our customers. This is our starting point. Together with our customer we go through the process and ensure that the right machines are placed on the right spot in the production line. After all, every production line is slightly different; our solutions are completely tailored to your needs.
By doing so, we ensure high-quality solutions and effectivity, but also efficiency and cost reduction. We are always looking for ways to innovate and improve and for sustainable technologies to get the most out of production processes.
Co-creation with our customers & partners
Innovation is of utmost importance in our field of business since our machines are dealing with natural products that are subject to weather conditions. We think along with our customers on how they can use their products in the best possible manner.
After a hot summer, potatoes are smaller than average and are therefore not ideal for making fries. On the other hand, if you have a very wet winter, the potato will often rot in the ground. As you can see, it is important to know how we can process and store these products as best as possible in order to obtain the highest quality end product.
Together with our customers, we look at their problems and challenges and look for suitable, innovative solutions. The proposed solutions are always extensively tested, again in cooperation with the customer. This way, we can be sure that the machines are indeed the best solution for their challenges.
Amongst our satisfied customers are industry leaders like Cela Vita, Aviko, Farm Frites, McCain & Wernsing. That’s something to be proud of!
“We have never not solved a problem’’
Our employees and consultants are always busy broadening their knowledge about our customers and their products. In order to find the best possible solution, it is important that we know their business. There is not a single problem that we walk away from and we go the extra mile. We ensure that everything works optimally and that problems are actually solved. We continue to do so until the customer is satisfied.
Waste – and water management systems
Sustainability is one of our top priorities. We are always looking for new, sustainable technologies to incorporate in our own company processes as well as our customer’s. A sustainable future demands careful management of our environment. We believe, that by recycling water and waste, we can make an important contribution to this.
Marcelissen started offering water -and waste management systems back in 2005 already. Nowadays, we make use of water recycling systems for all our machines, both internally as well as for our customers.
By setting up our processes adequately and working as efficiently as possible, we increase the production capacity and reduce the number of operating hours. By doing so, we save energy and contribute to a better world.
In addition, we are continuously developing sustainable solutions for separating waste from our production processes. There are still significant steps that can be taken, but at this moment we ensure our customers that they can earn money by recycling their waste instead of waste being a cost item.
Adjusting or alternately setting up your production processes efficiently not only increases the sustainability of your business, it also results in substantial savings, making the payback period usually less than five years.
Optical sorting potatoes
Marcelissen’s new Optical Sorter (SOM-2) is the perfect machine for sorting potatoes (peeled and unpeeled).
By applying the latest technologies – software, cameras and sensors – we ensure a vast reduction of waste or product damage and an end product of the highest quality.
Furthermore, our Optical Sorter is equipped with Machine Vision technology. This unique technology ensures a perfect 360º image of the potato. Sorting algorithms can be programmed in such a way that sorting is possible by size, colour or rotten spots. By pushing out the good potatoes, we ensure that no bad product ends up in the end product.
Sliver Remover
The Sliver Remover is one of Marcelissen’s top innovations and its desired sorting quality cannot be matched. So whether you want to sort sticks, slices, cubes, berries, nuts or anything else by the right size, our Sliver Remover is the best choice.
Even our most popular machines are constantly being further developed. The latest generation of Sliver Removers has been improved in terms of cleaning, hygiene and maintenance. All spaces can be opened quickly and easily and are therefore better accessible. In addition, there are fewer wear parts used in the construction, which results in a lower amount of required maintenance. This has greatly improved the lifetime of our Sliver Remover.
By using only one engine, maintenance can be carried out faster, guaranteeing minimal downtime. Furthermore, this new series is even more durable and hygienic than the first series of Sliver Removers and the maximum adjustability of the rollers has been increased.
(Compact) Hydro Cutter
The quality of your end product hinges on the proper cutting of potatoes, carrots, beets or other fruit and vegetables. With the (compact) Hydro Cutter we set the benchmark and ensure continuous improvement of your cutting results. The (compact) Hydro Cutter is ideal to use in small business premises.
Thanks to the optimal ‘aligning’ of the potato, the loss of quality and feathering can be avoided as much as possible. In this way, damage to the product is kept to a minimum, while maintaining shape stability and cutting quality.
