Potato Europe: Machine spotting and networking

Potato Europe is most and for all a networking event for professionals in the potato industry. Because the Agritechnica show is just around the corner, manufacturers didn’t bring new machines to the show.

Ropa Keiler 2 Classic

One exception was Ropa – they showed a new potato harvester called the Keiler L2 Classic, which is a bit less advanced than the Keiler 2 and about 10 percent cheaper.
