Step-by-Step Potato Chips Production Process

1. Potato Washing & Peeling Machine

The potato washing and peeling machine ensures thorough cleaning and peeling, removing dirt and thin skins efficiently. Equipped with soft brushes, it minimizes potato loss while maintaining high peeling rates. This potato chips line component is essential for hygiene and smooth operation in subsequent stages.

2. Potato Chips Cutting Machine

This versatile potato chips machine slices potatoes into uniform chips, strips, or shreds. Adjustable rollers allow customization of thickness, making it suitable for both crispy potato chips and French fries. Available in vertical or side-feeding designs, it adapts to different production needs.

3. Potato Chips Blanching Machine

Blanching is a crucial step in the potato chips production line, as it eliminates bacteria, preserves natural flavor, and enhances color. The blanching machine operates at 70°C for 7-15 minutes, ensuring optimal texture and extended shelf life.

4. Potato Chips Dewatering Machine

After blanching, excess moisture must be removed for crispier frying. The centrifugal dewatering machine spins at high speed, efficiently drying potato slices while maintaining structural integrity. Its shockproof design ensures stable operation even at maximum RPM.

5. Potato Chips Frying Machine

The fully automatic frying machine is a core component of the potato chips line, ensuring even cooking at 180°C for 6 minutes (for chips) or 8-10 minutes (for French fries). Available in electric or coal-powered models, it guarantees consistent quality with minimal oil absorption.

6. Potato Chips Deoiling Machine

To reduce oil content, the deoiling machine uses centrifugal force to extract excess oil from fried chips. Adjustable spin time prevents over-processing, maintaining crispiness while improving health standards.

7. Potato Chips Seasoning Machine

Flavor customization is key in snack production. Our octagonal, drum, or disc-type seasoning machines evenly coat chips with spices, cheese, barbecue, or other flavors. The drum-type is ideal for small batches, while the disc-type suits higher-volume potato chips production lines.

8. Nitrogen-Filled Potato Chips Packaging Machine

To preserve freshness, the packaging machine seals chips in nitrogen-filled bags, preventing oxidation and extending shelf life. This final step ensures that products remain crispy and flavorful for months.
