Potato chips are a favorite snack around the world. They are delicious and easy to make at home. If you are thinking about starting your own potato chips processing business, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Our machine is made of food grade stainless steel, up to health standard, safe and easy to clean.
Slicing
This is done using a food processor, which can slice the potato into chips that are very thin. However, this method can be dangerous if you are not careful enough to keep your fingers away from the blade.
The machine also has a self-cleaning design, which makes it easy to keep it clean. It is available in a wide range of sizes and is suitable for all kinds of snacks.
The fully automatic chips line is designed for customers who want to make packaged, ready-to-eat potato chips. It is a high-performance line that features several machines, including a washing machine, peeling machine, slicing machine, frying machine, de-oiling machine, and seasoning machine.
Blanching
Blanching is a heat treatment that reduces microorganisms and enzymes that cause deterioration in color, flavor, and texture during food processing. It is typically done as a preheat treatment prior to drying, freezing, or canning operations.
The blanched potato chips are then passed through a de-oiling machine to make them crispier and less oily. Then they are seasoned with various flavors according to the customers’ demand.
The whole line consists of a washing cleaning and peeling machine, a slicing machine, a blancher, a frying machine, a de-oiling machine, and a seasoning machine. It is highly efficient and cost-effective. It is also easy to operate and maintain.
Frying
Frying potatoes is an important step in the potato chips production process. The raw potato slices are put into the frying machine, where they are heated until they turn golden and crispy. This is done using electric heating, air heating, or other methods.
The fried potato chips are then de-oiled and seasoned before they are packaged. This step is vital to ensure that the product is healthy and tasty.
De-oiling
Potato chips are a common snack food worldwide. They are easy to make and require little space. They can also be seasoned with different flavors, making them a versatile snack.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for producing a non-fried potato chip which has lower oil content than a conventional fried one yet still retains the flavour and organoleptic properties that are normally associated with the former. This is accomplished by a de-oiler conveyor 22 having a series of water spray stations 28 wherein the potato slices are repeatedly sprayed with water and air in an alternate manner. The resulting product is then subjected to microwave explosive dehydration and final drying.
Seasoning
Seasoning potatoes is an essential part of the Potato Chips Production Line. A variety of flavors can be added to make them taste different, and each flavor requires a certain amount of seasoning. The equipment used to add the seasoning can be semi-automatic or fully automatic depending on your production capacity.
The flavored potato chips are then packaged in an oxygen-free bag using nitrogen filling machine and cooling and sealing machines. This packaging helps to preserve the crispiness of the chips and prevent spoilage.
Packaging
During packaging, the potato chips are loaded into bags and sealed with an automatic food packing machine. The machine can produce a wide range of bag sizes and shapes, including gusseted bags and pillow bags. It also has advanced metal detection systems to ensure that there are no foreign materials in the bag.
