In this newsletter you can read about the new generation of automation software. This new platform from Siemens has enables us to develop new user interface for the operators. We are sharing a short film from one of our recent installations for French fries. New material for leaf springs in vibratory conveyors and a smart design for wear indication for the gliding strips are introduced. With increasing demands from the market, you will also get to know some of our new team members.
Daily operations continue at a fast pace at Rosenqvists Food Technologies, solving new design challenges. It makes me happy and proud to see all improvements we manage to implement in projects we are working on. During the latest six months, significant changes have been made to lower oil volume in our snack pellet fryer, improved protection for the potato speciality fryer, achieved better hygiene in our new drying system for French fries, lowered the surface water of the chips slices for potato chips and increased speeds in frying systems for prefabricated chips.
Our workshop recently celebrated 125 years of operation. In Gringelstad, in the south of Sweden, blacksmith Master Algot started to manufacture and repair tools, wagon wheels and horseshoes for local farmers and the nearby manor of Ugerup. This was back in 1898 when every village had its own blacksmith. There are many stories of Master Algot and his new constructions and inventions. These were products made from conversations with local farmers, solving their challenges.
In 1960, we started to manufacture irrigation machines under the brand Rosenqvists.
In 1976, we started to manufacture machines for food processing under the brand PPM. Eventually, this production merged into today’s Rosenqvists Food Technologies.
Still today, we listen to what our client’s needs, and we are ready to adapt our design to make it fit perfectly. The handcraft skills of the people working here is world-class and our most important resource. Moving forward, we proceed our focus on food processing and, of course, especially potato processing.
Kind regards,
Stefan Björk, Managing Director

Happy and proud to be supporting the European Snacks Association at the Savoury Snacks Production Course 1. This is a training course with more than fifty professionals in the snacks industry. This time it was held in Lisbon, Portugal.
A great place to learn. At the course, we got a chance to share information regarding processing of potato chips as well as frying of snack pellets.
We cherish the fact that we can contribute to increase competence in our industry. Thank you for a well-organized training course.
Look out for more course opportunities from ESA. We know they plan for part 2 of the Savoury Snacks Production Course during the fall of 2023.

Producing potato chips or french fries requires a substantial amount of energy. Yes, we are the first to confirm this statement. There is nothing we can do about this physical fact. However, we can influence that energy is used efficiently and we can also guide you in steps to save energy.
In this newsletter you can read more about our best tips to save energy if you are producing potato chips, review water usage in a chips line but also a look inside our workshop where the machines are built for Rosenqvists Food Technologies.
We follow our clients strive to achieve an efficient production process and try our best to support with advice. It is impressive to learn about your initiatives to save water, recover energy from frying systems, turning waste stream into bio-energy and many more initiatives. It is clear for us at Rosenqvists Food Technologies that the potato processing industry is determined to improve reducing the carbon footprint and environmental impact as much as possible. Efficiency improvements are important from an economic standpoint, but are essential in developing our industry to a sustainable and positive view in the society. After all, we want to continue to enjoy potato chips, snacks, fried peanuts, crispy french fries or a golden hash brown for breakfast.
Kind regards,

Energy supply and price of energy represents significant challenges for all producers of potato chips today. Luckily, there are some great opportunities out there to help you save energy. Read this article where we summarize our best ideas what you can do short-term. The ideas come from our R&D Manager, Magnus Kalling and are summarized by Key Account Manager, Niklas Möllerstedt.
We know there are so many factors to consider and we normally start with recommendations for the general production set-up. Addressing heating, ventilation and efficient processing equipment are all part of your planning for the best production. But how can you optimize your production to save significant energy?

Dear Friend,
This past year has been eventful for us at Rosenqvists Food Technologies. When I think about the projects, we have been supporting in 2022, I am especially satisfied of how much we have learned together with you, our clients and partners. The important improvement in our solutions is realized thanks to relevant interaction with you and thanks to committed team members in our company. I am thankful for this important collaboration. A few special memories from the achievements during the past year are:
I don’t know exactly what the coming year has to offer us, but my expectations are high. The discussions we currently have for future projects tells me that the food industry has a positive view of the future. We are in for an exciting year. I look forward to diving in deeper into new heat supply sources for potato chips, to develop and prepare new solutions for preparing french fries into further processing and for a re-design of the biggest star wheel fryer for pellets offering even better oil turn-over rate. We have a lot going in terms of development. Still, the most rewarding satisfaction I experience is when I see some our machines in action in your production site, doing its job, hour after hour, day after day.
Thank you for your trust and business during the year, it means a lot. I wish you some nice days over Christmas and New Years!
Kind regards,
Stefan Björk, Managing Director Rosenqvists Food Technologies

Thinking back to my days at Interpom, I am filled with enthusiasm. The potato industry has a positive belief in the future, and rightly so, consumers continue to love French fries and potato specialties in all shapes and forms.
For us, at Rosenqvists Food Technologies, it feels great to be part of this industry and we remain humble for any challenges that awaits us. Our days at Interpom was packed with interesting discussions. Process optimization in general, focus on oil management and energy efficiency but also importance of cleanability of and access to process equipment. We got the chance to discuss our three-step filtering and optimal oil handling in our potato specialties frying system and to explain our new clean design of our drying system for French fries.
Thank you, all visitors at Interpom, you made our days intensive and interesting. We look forward to get a chance to work on more projects together.
Greetings!
