How Frozen French Fries are Made

Firstly, when the potatoes arrive in factory, they will be sorted and graded so that to remove defective ones. And this process can be done both manually and by potato sorting and grading machine. Then the chosen potatoes will be washed and peeled by industrial potato washer and peeler. Now, the peeled potatoes will be transferred to cutter machine, which wil cut them into thin strips with adjustable thickness. Then to remove the starch on the cut potatoes, and ensure good frying result, the cut potatoes will be blanched in blanching machine. In fact, they are simply boiled in hot water for period of time. Then the dewatering machine will dry the potato strips before frying. Frying is essential step of the frozen french fries making processes. The dried potato stripes will be deep fried in fryer machine with constant high temperature for a set period of time. After frying, the potato strips are still covered with oil. So deoiling machine will remove the extra oil, preventing them from clogging together. And then the hot french fries will be cooled down by air cooling machine. After that, the french fries will be further cooled down in freezer machine instantly. After freezing, final frozen finger chips are available. And the final stage is to pack them up with packing machine, for packed ones are easy to store and transport.
