POTATO CHIPS PROCESSING LINE
1. Overview of the production line
Potato chip processing production lines usually include raw material processing, slicing, cleaning, blanching, cooling, frying, de-oiling, seasoning, packaging and other links. These links are interconnected by automated equipment to form an efficient and continuous production line.
2. Main equipment and its functions
Ø Raw material processing equipment
Elevator: used to lift raw materials (such as potatoes) to subsequent processing equipment, saving manpower and improving efficiency.
Washing and peeling machine: Automatically clean and remove the potato skin to ensure the cleanliness and taste of the raw materials.
Ø Slicing equipment
Slicer: According to product requirements, potatoes are cut into chips of uniform thickness to ensure the consistency and appearance of the finished product.
Washing and pretreatment equipment
Rinse machine: Remove starch and impurities on the surface of potato chips through a bubble generator.
Blanching machine: Heat the potato chips for a short time to make them softer and easier to fry later.
Ø Cooling equipment
Cooling line: Rapidly reduce the temperature of potato chips and prevent adhesion through bubble tumbling and fan drying to prepare for frying.
Ø Frying equipment
Frying line: Made of stainless steel, equipped with electric heating and fully automatic oil filtering system to ensure stable oil temperature and oil quality, frying potato chips with bright color and crispy taste.
De-oiling and seasoning equipment
De-oiling line: remove excess oil on the surface of potato chips to reduce the greasy feeling of the product.
Seasoning line: sprinkle the seasoning evenly on the potato chips through the roller and hopper, and mix the seasoning to enhance the flavor of the product.
Ø Packaging equipment
Fully automatic packaging machine: realize automatic feeding, weighing, bag making and packaging, improve packaging efficiency and product hygiene standards.
3. Production line configuration suggestions
Ø Equipment selection: select the appropriate equipment model and brand according to the production scale, product requirements and budget.
Ø Production line layout: customized according to the customer's factory site
Ø Automation degree: select the appropriate automation degree according to actual needs. The higher the degree of automation, the higher the production efficiency, but the initial investment also increases accordingly.
