Detailed potato chips making process in plants

The specific process of making potato chips in large quantities in the factory: First, use an automatic washing and peeling machine to peel and clean potatoes as raw materials. After that, the washed and peeled potatoes are conveyed to the inspection table, and the peeled potatoes are manually sorted and sorted.

The belt conveyor then feeds the peeled potatoes into an automatic slicer. After the potatoes are cut into the required slices, the free starch is washed with water. The washed potato chips are sent to a blanching machine for blanching.

Then it is transferred to a fryer machine, and the moisture content of potato chips is reduced from 80% to 2% to obtain crispy potato chips.

The oil content in the finished product of fried potato chips is between 30% and 40%, so an automatic deoiling machine is used to drain the oil remaining on the surface of the product. After that, the potato chips are conveyed to a drum seasoning machine for seasoning.

Processors can add different seasonings based on different products. Then the flavored potato chips are delivered to the packaging workshop, and the product is packed into the required size and shape.
