The science of the perfect cut

Across the Middle East, food processors share a simple goal: delivering products that look, cook and perform exactly as intended. Precision cutting plays a central role in that success. FAM STUMABO supports processors in achieving this precision with world-class industrial cutting solutions, helping them boost yield, consistency, and hygiene across vegetables, fruits, potatoes, meat, poultry, and dairy products.

“With decades of engineering expertise, FAM STUMABO combines robust mechanical design with smart ergonomics to keep processing lines efficient, even in the region’s high-throughput, high-temperature environments,” explains Sven Boen, Sales Manager EMEA at FAM STUMABO. “Our portfolio of dicers, slicers and shredders is built around one principle: achieving perfect, repeatable cuts with ease of operation and maintenance.”

For potato processors, for instance, the Tridis™ 180 and SureTec 240P dicers deliver exceptional dice and strip quality with minimal fines, ideal for premium French fries and a wide range of potato specialties. Their three-dimensional cutting systems preserve product integrity while optimizing throughput, and tool-less access allows for quick sanitation between shifts. From QSR supply chains in the GCC to frozen processors across North Africa, FAM STUMABO machines ensure repeatable cut quality at an industrial scale shift after shift.

Fresh-cut and frozen vegetable producers rely on the Yuran™ Capcitec and Volantis™ for precise cutting with gentle product handling. Designed to process a wide range of vegetables and fruit – from cucumbers, carrots, onions, and peppers to apples and soft produce – these machines pair accurate slice and strip control with efficient in-feed, reducing rework and maximizing usable yield. Fast knife changeovers and stable, low-maintenance drivetrains help keep OPEX predictable.

Dairy processors will value the balance of speed and cut quality delivered by FAM STUMABO’s cheese processing solutions such as Hymaks™, Flexifam 55 and Centris™ 400C. Designed for applications ranging from dicing and strip-cutting to shredding and slicing, the equipment ensures uniform pieces with clean edges, consistent weights, and minimal waste. This combination supports better melt performance, appealing presentation, and improved yields for both retail products and foodservice applications.

For artisan producers, pilot plants, and specialty lines, the Centris 315 and Dorphy provide lower-capacity versatility without compromising on precision. Compact footprints make them easy to integrate in limited spaces or R&D rooms, while their hygienic, open designs simplify cleaning. They’re ideal for specialty cheese shredding, small-batch vegetable slicing, or limited-run fruit prep where repeatability and quick changeovers matter most.

A defining strength of FAM STUMABO lies in its in-house production of precision blades. These cutting tools are designed for maximum sharpness retention and dimensional accuracy, ensuring clean, consistent cuts across all product types. “By producing blades internally, we control quality at every step, delivering knives that minimize dusting, reduce micro-fractures, and ultimately extend product shelf life,” says Sven Boen. “What’s more, the hygienic stainless-steel design and smooth finishes not only ensure superior food safety but also facilitate fast and effective cleaning.” Combined with durable components, energy-efficient drives, and intuitive HMIs, these features lower the total cost of ownership while maintaining top-level cut quality even in the most demanding Middle Eastern processing environments.

“At FAM STUMABO, we see technical support equally important as our products, concludes Sven Boen. “We back our equipment with application expertise, cutting tests, and region-ready configurations – from robust electrical packages to heat-resilient designs. We help processors maintain uptime during peak demand with our quick-turn availability on wear parts and knives.”

Whether expanding a greenfield facility or upgrading a legacy line, food manufacturers across the Middle East can rely on FAM STUMABO for cutting solutions precisely matched to their products, throughput targets and production environment.
