In the process of french fries processing, the french fries cutter is one of the essential equipment, which can efficiently and evenly cut potatoes into french fries of standard size, ready for subsequent processing (such as blanching, frying, freezing). But how to cut french fries with a cutter? Correct operation of the cutter can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce losses and ensure the quality of the finished product.
 
How to cut french fries with a cutter?
1. Check the equipment
Make sure the french fry cutter is in good working condition and has no loose or damaged parts.
Check the blades for sharpness and replace them if worn to ensure the quality of the cut.
Connect the power supply and check the motor is running normally to ensure there is no abnormal noise or vibration.
 
2. Potato pretreatment
Cleaning: Use a cleaning machine to remove dirt and impurities on the surface of the potatoes to avoid affecting the cutting effect or damaging the blade.
Peeling (optional): Some processing techniques require peeling, and a peeling machine can be used to remove the potato skin.
Selection: Remove rotten, oversized or undersized potatoes to ensure uniform cutting.
 
3. Operation process
According to product requirements, adjust the distance between the cutters to cut standard French fries (common sizes such as 7×7mm, 9×9mm, 12×12mm, etc.).
Set the conveying speed so that the potatoes enter the cutting area evenly.
 
4. Feeding and cutting
Start the machine and start feeding after it runs smoothly.
Put the washed potatoes evenly into the feed port to avoid blockage or uneven cutting caused by too much at one time.
The machine automatically feeds the potatoes into the cutting device and cuts them into strips by the rotating or reciprocating knife group.
5. Collect French fries
The cut French fries are conveyed to the next process, such as blanching, frying or freezing.
If there are unqualified French fries (such as those that are too short or have abnormal shapes), they can be removed or recycled through the screening system.
 
6. Precautions for use
When the machine is running, it is strictly forbidden to directly touch the blade with your hands to avoid accidental injuries.
Regularly check whether the protective device is intact to ensure the safety of the operator.
Before stopping the machine, the feed should be turned off first, and the power should be turned off and stopped after the material inside the machine is emptied.
