Ishida at heart of McCain's expansion in SA

摘要

Mccain Foods has expanded one of its key plants in SA with the addition of three new packing lines - each based around an Ishida R-Series multihead weigher.rnThe world's largest producer of French fries, McCain Foods is also the leading supplier of both frozen vegetables and frozen fries in SA, and operates a potato processing plant at Delmas, as well as two vegetable processing facilities - one in Springs and the other in George, in the Western Cape. The company's production is flexible and highly efficient, with Ishida multihead weighers playing an important role in its success.rnProducts produced at Delmas include French fries (ranging in length from six to 12cm), potato wedges (with or without skin) and batter fries (breaded and spiced fries). These are for the South African market, and are supplied to customers such as McDonalds, Mug 'n' Bean, the Ocean Basket and the Spur Group.
