Why the Helix Hydrocutting System?

Vanmark has been the global leader in food hydrocutting equipment for decades, cutting potatoes into a variety of shapes and sizes. Now, we’re putting that expertise into a spiral cutting machine for curly fries.

Our proprietary blade design provides more sellable product, coils, and rings—increasing potato yield and minimizing chips and waste.

SIMPLE OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

We’ve made the system easy to run and maintain, with automated operation, tool-less changeouts, and minimal moving parts. Our annual rebuild service ensures ongoing performance.
