Which machine is used in making potato chips? Following are the main equipment for making potato chips:
1. Potato washing and peeling machine
Used to wash and remove the skin of potatoes to ensure the cleanliness of the raw materials.
Features:
- Efficient cleaning: brush or drum cleaning can remove dirt and impurities on the surface of potatoes.
- Versatility: usually has peeling function, and friction peeling method can be used.
- High degree of automation: equipped with conveying and sewage discharge system to reduce manual operation.
- Material safety: made of food-grade stainless steel, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
2. Potato slicing machine
Cut potatoes into uniform slices, the thickness can be adjusted to meet the needs of different potato chip products.
Features:
- Adjustable thickness: the slice thickness can be adjusted within a certain range.
- Precise cutting: using high-speed rotating knife disc, the slices are uniform, the surface is smooth and free of burrs.
- High efficiency: suitable for mass production, usually hundreds of kilograms of potatoes can be processed per hour.
3. Potato slice blanching
Blanch potato slices to remove excess starch, improve taste, and prevent oxidation and discoloration.
Features:
- Temperature controllable: Optimum processing effect can be achieved by adjusting temperature (usually 70-90°C) and time (tens of seconds to minutes).
- Energy-saving design: Use circulating hot water system to reduce energy consumption.
- Automated operation: Equipped with feeding and discharging conveying device to achieve continuous blanching.
4. Frying machine
Frying potato chips until golden and crispy is the core of potato chip production.
Features:
- Even frying: constant temperature control system is used to ensure stable oil temperature (usually 160-180°C).
- High efficiency: suitable for continuous production, large processing volume per hour.
- Automatic oil residue discharge: built-in filtration system to keep the oil clean and extend the service life of the oil.
5. Deoiling machine
Remove excess oil from the surface of potato chips, making them taste more refreshing and less greasy.
Features:
- High-speed operation: Adopts the principle of centrifugal force for efficient oil removal.
- Accurate control: The deoiling time and speed are adjustable to meet different process requirements.
- Low noise: Optimized design, smooth operation and low noise.
These equipment constitute the basic process of potato chips production line. You can choose equipment combinations of different scales and degrees of automation according to production capacity requirements. If you need further information, please contact us.
