See how frozen french fries are made here in Maine using Maine grown potatoes! The Bell crew gets a tour of the newest Penobscot McCrum’s Potato Production facility
That was an awesome tour. Great job on the video production! As a mechanical engineer I wish I could see inside the machines to see how many of the tasks are accomplished. It is always very interesting.
Amazing Molly! My family on my mom’s side live in Washburn. My grandmother and a few relatives worked for the company when it was known as McCain. So interesting. Thanks!!
I work for a factory that produces insulation. Our factory is not big, around 200 people work there, but we are just a part of a really big imperia that spreads its factories all over the world.
I would like to know the machine that cuts the bad spots out of the fries actually works. I'm very curious how you would design a machine that does that. Great video!

Retired now, but spent 30 years a Gillette in Ma. Packaging products. That was fun to see other factories' similarities. Now on to the ketchup!
Other than the metal detector, I saw no QC on the product being performed?
Could have done without the shitty music.
I was already starving and then had to watch this……………. Great and interesting video Molly.
That’s a lot of freaking french fries
Neat tour and information. Didn’t say how the blue light box removes the blemishes. How does that happen?
