Key Features & Benefits

Why Vezora Plants Lead the African Market

🌍

Designed for African Produce

Variable potato & tomato sizes/quality from African farms require flexible peeling, sorting and grading equipment β€” engineered for irregular raw material, not standardised European produce.

πŸ”„

Multi-Product Flexibility

Single line, multiple products β€” chips, fries, flakes (potato) or paste, ketchup, IQF (tomato). Switch between products as season and market demand shift.

❄️

IQF Freezing Technology

Individual Quick Freezing for fries and mixed vegetables β€” preserves cell structure, minimises ice crystal damage and delivers premium-grade frozen products with 12+ month shelf life.

πŸ…

Aseptic Tomato Paste

Cold-break or hot-break extraction with aseptic filling into bag-in-drum (220 L) or aseptic pouches β€” 28Β°Brix industrial paste ready for export and B2B sales.

⚑

Energy Efficient

Heat-recovery on fryers, multi-effect evaporators on paste lines, and energy-efficient blast freezers reduce per-ton energy cost β€” critical in Africa's high-energy-cost markets.

πŸ”§

Local Service & Spares

Simple maintenance design with standardised wear parts. Vezora's local Spare Parts vertical stocks belts, knives, screens and bearings β€” minimising downtime in seasonal operations.
