Before the potato reaches its designated channel, it undergoes thorough quality control. It is then stored in crates or bulk, depending on its final destination.
Through our own transport, the potatoes make their way to the factory.
The export potatoes are either washed or brushed and packaged in the desired weight format.
RTL Patat offers you the option of storing potatoes in specialised storage bunkers. By doing so, we offer smaller growers the opportunity to store their potatoes without huge investments. They can also store their potatoes by potato variety. Our storage bunkers are located in Arc-Wattipont and Lauwe.
RTL Patat has crates that ensure the safe and proper storage of your potatoes. Thanks to the suction system of our crate storage system, the air is evenly distributed and blown through the potato crates. This ensures optimal storage of your potatoes. We also provide ample refrigerated storage, guaranteeing excellent quality and traceability.
RTL Patat is equipped with a professional Optical sorting machinethat uses cameras linked to an artificial intelligence algorithm. This combination enables a full 360-degree analysis of the potatoes’ surface, allowing for precise classification based on their quality. Thanks to the 360-degree scan of each potato, we have access to accurate information about the stored potatoes based on their quality. Thanks to the 360-degree scan of each potato, we have access to accurate information about the stored potatoes.
After the potatoes pass through the optical machine, they undergo a final manual sorting. The potatoes are checked again, and the last potatoes of inferior quality are removed so that we can guarantee the best quality. The potatoes are then weighed and packed in the packaging chosen by the customer. We have several packaging machines, so we can meet any packaging requirement our customers may have.
We hold various quality certifications for potato packaging, including HACCP, Autocontrol, and Global G.A.P. These certifications guarantee the hygienic safety and quality of your potatoes through rigorous quality controls and procedures. Regardless of the final destination, you can always be sure that your potatoes retain their quality, allowing consumers to fully enjoy your products.
RTL Patat has a dedicated washing station. We intentionally chose a separate water circuit to prevent contamination. After the unwashed potatoes pass through the washing drum, they are rinsed and dried. The potatoes can also be checked in the circuit, ensuring we can deliver the desired quality.
Because we have our own transport, RTL Patat has full control over the planning, execution and timing of deliveries. This allows us to respond more flexibly and quickly to changes in demand or unforeseen circumstances.
Having our own transport also enables us to tailor logistics to meet specific needs. This means that RTL Patat is better able to respond to customer demands.
Our own vehicles are equipped with shock absorbers, giving us more control over the quality of our products. This helps minimise product damage as much as possible.
