Elea PEF Advantage B 10-320 for larger fries in different shapes with better quality and reduced processing costs
Family Legacy
Frozen Express is one of Colombia’s largest processors and manufacturers of frozen French fries. As a proud family-owned business, they have been delivering high-quality potato products for over 25 years while remaining committed to supporting Colombian farmers.
Embracing Innovation
In August 2021, Frozen Express upgraded their production line by installing an Elea PEF system. This innovative technology was introduced to produce larger fries in a variety of shapes, improve overall quality, and reduce production costs.
Guillermo Fonseca, Engineering Manager at Frozen Express, explains, “We chose to use PEF to enhance our lines and produce better food with fewer resources. Elea was the best choice for us, thanks to their extensive experience, strong credentials, and excellent technical support.”
Elea was the best choice for us
Working alongside Ignacio Alonzo, Elea’s representative in Colombia, Frozen Express installed an Elea PEF Advantage B10 -320 system. This advanced system efficiently handles production capacities ranging from a single tuber up to 12 tonnes per hour, with Alonzo providing on-site installation support and collaborating closely with Frozen Express technicians.

Efficiency, Quality, Sustainability
The Elea PEF technology replaces traditional preheating of potato tubers, significantly reducing water and energy consumption. Moreover, it enhances the cutting process, leading to improved product yield and quality. Installed prior to the hydrojet cutting stage, this low-heat, energy-efficient process softens the tissue and ensures more precise cuts.
With this innovative upgrade, Frozen Express continues to set high standards in the frozen French fries market, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology for a brighter, more sustainable future.
