Zhucheng, China – Matton Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in high-end thermal processing and freeze-drying equipment, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the International Potato Tour (IPT). Initiated by Victor Kovalev, founder of 《Potato News》, this collaboration marks a significant milestone in integrating advanced mechanical engineering technologies into the global potato production and processing supply chain.
Synergizing Technology and Expertise to Advance the Potato Industry
The IPT initiative serves as a vital international platform for field trials, industry conferences, and knowledge exchange, covering key markets including India, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and the Caucasus region. Through its participation in this tour, Matton Machinery will provide producers with the essential technical support needed to facilitate their transition from raw material harvesting to the production of high-value-added products.
With over 20 years of engineering excellence, Matton Machinery focuses on three core pillars of potato processing:
Advanced Sterilization Systems (Food Retorts):Fully automated, high-pressure sterilization equipment designed specifically for vacuum-packed or canned ready-to-eat potato products.
Tunnel Rapid Freezing (IQF) Technology: Production lines designed for french fries and potato cubes, ensuring product structural integrity by preventing the formation of large ice crystals.
Premium Freeze-Drying Technology: Equipment capable of producing high-quality freeze-dried foods while retaining up to 99% of the original nutritional content.
Frozen French Fry Production Line: MATTON provides complete, end-to-end (A-to-Z) production lines.
Potato Starch Production Line: Fresh potatoes undergo fully automated processes—including washing, crushing, and drying—to be transformed into high-quality starch.
Enhancing Global Food Security Through Automation
In regions such as India and Pakistan, reducing post-harvest losses remains a critical challenge. As part of the IPT framework, Matton Machinery is showcasing automated solutions designed to directly address these pain points.
Our integrated processing lines, equipped with advanced heat recovery systems, are designed to:
1. Reduce labor costs by 60% to 70%.
2. Increase energy efficiency by 30% to 40%.
3. Facilitate the deep processing of crops, thereby boosting local economic development.
By focusing on deep processing, we empower local producers to transform perishable raw materials into stable, high-margin export products.
Committed to Sustainability and Natural Refrigerants
Environmental protection lies at the very heart of the partnership between Matton Machinery and the IPT. Our latest freezing and drying systems utilize natural refrigerants—ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These solutions not only comply with modern environmental standards but also ensure that our clients meet the most stringent international market access requirements.
Looking Ahead: The 2026 Global Potato Summit and Turnkey Engineering Solutions
Experts from MATTON Machinery will actively participate in upcoming IPT events, including various field days and the highly anticipated “2026 Global Potato Summit.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to receive direct consultation services regarding the design of turnkey engineering facilities. From potato washing and peeling to final packaging and quality control, MATTON delivers a seamless, end-to-end engineering experience.
This collaboration further solidifies MATTON Machinery’s position as a trusted supplier and global industry leader, underscoring our unwavering commitment to driving innovation and development within the agricultural sector.
