ADR® 4

Key’s Automatic Defect Removal (ADR®) systems process over 95 percent of the world's frozen potato strips. The ADR® 4 combines high-resolution Vis/IR cameras, our patented belt conveyor, our patented rotary cutter, and our Iso-Flo® high-speed vibratory conveyors to align, singulate, scan, and trim potato strips with unparalleled speed and precision. This system eliminates manual trimming and inspection, and improves cutting accuracy and good-product recovery.
