UK: Potato supplier Branston installs £1.7m washing and grading line

UK potato supplier Branston has installed a new integrated grading, washing and sizing line at its production facility in Scotland, the result of £1.7 million’s worth of investment. The installation at the Perthshire site is in preparation to scale up production to meet the demand of a large, long-term supply contract that the company has recently been awarded. The production line features a new style of washer and the latest Celox optical grader to increase the factory’s overall capabilities. Branston, which has three sites across the UK – located in Perthshire, Lincolnshire and Somerset – has been supplying potatoes to the country’s major supermarkets for almost 50 years and is continually modernising and adapting to the evolving food industry.
