The production process of potato chips is complicated, and each step requires specific equipment to complete. But which machine is used in making potato chips? Depending on the production scale and production requirements, the type and configuration of the required equipment will vary. Several commonly used equipment are listed below.
 
1. Potato cleaning and peeling machine
This is the first process equipment of the potato chips production line, mainly used to clean and remove the potato skin.
The brush structure is used to peel off the potato skin through rotation and friction, and effectively remove the dirt and impurities on the potato surface.
 
2. Potato slicing machine
The slicer is used to cut washed potatoes into uniform slices.
The slice thickness is adjustable to meet different product requirements (such as thin or thick potato chips). The high-precision blade design ensures smooth and uniform slices. Uniform slices ensure consistent results in subsequent blanching, frying, etc.
 
3. Blanching machine
The function of the blanching machine is to heat treat the potato chips for a short time after slicing.
The starch on the surface of the slices is removed by hot water or steam treatment to avoid sticking during frying. It plays a role in protecting the color and keeping the potato chips bright. It can improve the appearance and taste of potato chips and extend the shelf life.
 
4. Frying machine
The frying machine is the core equipment of potato chips production, which determines the taste and quality of the finished product.
The machine has a precise temperature control system, which can adjust the frying time and temperature according to the thickness of the potato chips.
Equipped with a filtration system to remove impurities in the oil and maintain the quality of the oil. Through uniform frying, the potato chips are golden and crispy.
 

5. De-oiling machine
The main function of the de-oiling machine is to remove excess oil after frying.
The excess oil is removed by high-speed rotation to improve the crispness of potato chips. Reduce the oil content and improve the health properties of the product.
 
The equipment selection in the potato chips production line should be configured according to the production scale, budget and product positioning. High-quality equipment can not only improve production efficiency, but also ensure the consistency and taste of the product, bringing competitive advantages to the enterprise.
