Understanding the Potato Chips Production Process
Production Process Overview
The semi-automatic potato chips production line follows a step-by-step process: potato washing & peeling, potato slicing, blanching, dewatering, frying, de-oiling, flavoring, and packaging. This line typically requires 4-8 workers, ideally one per machine, to achieve optimal production capacity.
Requirements for Producing Potato Chips and French Fries
Proper frying and blanching times and temperatures are critical to the success of the potato chips and French fries production. For potato chips, we recommend a frying time of 3-4 minutes at 170-180℃ and a blanching time of 60-90 seconds at 90-95℃. For French fries, a frying time of 40-60 seconds at 170-180℃ and blanching time of 60-90 seconds at 90-95℃ are ideal.
A Look into our 30kg/h Semi-Automatic Potato Chips Plant
1. Potato Washing and Peeling
The process begins with our Potato Washing and Peeling Machine. This machine ensures high efficiency by carrying out washing and peeling in a single operation. Equipped with an emery drum, it ensures complete and efficient peeling, providing a solid start for the rest of the process.
2. Potato Slicing
Next, our Potato Slicing Machine slices the peeled potatoes. Its adjustable rollers and cutters can produce slices and chips of varying thickness. Whether you want to make potato chips or French fries, this machine will suit your needs.
3. Potato Chips Blanching
The blanched potato slices then pass through our Potato Slices Blanching Machine. This step is vital as it eliminates harmful bacteria, maintains the food's original flavor, and eases preservation.
4. Potato Chips Dewatering
Our Potato Chips Dehydration Machine uses centrifugal methods to remove surface water from the blanched potato slices, preparing them for frying.
5. Potato Chips Frying
The potato slices are then fried in our Potato Chips Frying Machine. You can opt for either electric heating or gas heating. The result? Lustrous, deliciously fried potato chips or French fries.
6. De-oiling of Fried Potato Chips
Our Potato Chips De-oiling Machine uses centrifugal principles to eliminate excess oil from the fried chips. This not only makes the chips healthier but also reduces production costs.
7. Flavoring of Fried Potato Chips
Next, the Potato Chips Seasoning Machine adds various flavors to your chips. Now your potato chips or French fries are ready to delight the taste buds of your customers!
8. Packaging of Fried Potato Chips
Finally, our Nitrogen-Filled Potato Chips Packaging Machine ensures a long shelf-life for your product by packing chips in nitrogen-filled bags. Now your chips are ready for distribution!
