Potato Chips Production Line

Equipment List:

01 Soaking Elevator

The soaking elevator is an automated device that combines material soaking and automatic lifting and conveying. It is primarily used to soak various materials before processing (for example, to remove impurities, soften, and pre-clean). The mechanical structure automatically lifts the soaked materials from the soaking tank to the next processing step, reducing manual labor and improving production efficiency. It is widely used in food processing, agricultural product processing, industrial cleaning, and other fields.

It is used for soaking, cleaning, lifting and conveying food materials, enhancing the taste of food materials, improving hygiene and safety, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the processing flow.

07 Bubble washing machine

It is a comprehensive processing technology that can achieve efficient preservation, color protection, sterilization and shelf life extension while cleaning.

Technical Parameters

Model: QXJ-5500 

Dimensions: 5500*1600*2200mm

Mesh belt: 800mm

Power: 5.9kw

Material: 304 stainless steel

Qty:1 set

Advantages

1. Remove surface impurities: During the peeling process, bananas may come into contact with trace contaminants from equipment, gloves, or the air. The bubble cleaner effectively removes these physical impurities by creating a vigorous wash and vibration as bubbles burst in the water tank.

2. Isolating the bananas from oxygen: Completely submerging them in water creates a physical barrier, effectively isolating them from air and significantly slowing the browning reaction.

3. Carrying away reactants: Flowing water removes and dilutes phenolic compounds and enzymes already dissolved from the surface of the fruit, reducing the raw materials for the browning reaction.

08 Blanching machine 1

Blanching machines are core pretreatment equipment in food processing. They primarily use hot water for a short, high-temperature treatment of ingredients. Their core value lies in addressing the challenges of color preservation, sterilization, and quality improvement in food processing. They are widely used in processing fruit, vegetable, meat, and seafood (e.g., pre-processing dehydrated vegetables, canned goods, frozen foods, and snacks).

Technical Parameters

Model: PTJ-4500 

Dimensions: 4500*1800*2200mm

Mesh belt:1000mm

Power: 205kw

Material: 304 stainless steel

Advantages

Effectively protects color and prevents browning. The polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase enzymes present in ingredients are the primary cause of enzymatic browning (darkening after peeling/cutting). Blanching machines can rapidly inactivate these enzymes within 1-5 minutes (adjusting the temperature based on the ingredient, typically 80-100°C), fundamentally preventing browning and preserving the natural color of the ingredients. This eliminates the problem of darkening after cutting, which occurs with manual processing.

09 Blanching machine 2

Using temperature-controlled hot water, potato chips are precisely cooked, addressing processing issues such as browning, poor taste, and residual impurities, laying a foundation for consistent quality in subsequent processing. Its core function goes beyond simply "cooking"; rather, through scientific temperature control, it achieves the triple goals of enzyme inactivation, color preservation, and pre-setting. It is an essential step in large-scale potato chip production (such as puffed and fried chips).

Technical Parameters

Model: PTJ-6500 

Dimensions: 6500*1800*2200mm

Mesh belt:1000mm

Power: 240kw

Material: 304 stainless steel

Advantages

1. Temperature control range: 95-100°C: Suitable for thin, crispy potato chips (typically 0.8-2mm thick), preventing "cooked on the outside, raw on the inside" caused by low temperatures or "soft, mushy, and sticky" caused by high temperatures. The temperature control system controls water temperature fluctuations within ±1°C, ensuring even heating of each chip. After cooking, the chips remain soft but not mushy, with no curling around the edges, enhancing their crispy texture after frying.

2. Adjustable cooking time (180 seconds): Flexibly adjust the cooking time based on the potato chip type (e.g., potato, sweet potato) and slice thickness to avoid undercooked chips after frying, or overcooked chips due to material loss.

12 Frying Machine

This machine is used to fry banana chips by automaticly, high precision temp control system to ensure the uniform quality product.

Technical Parameters

Model: YZJ-11000

Dimensions: 11000*1000*2200mm

Mesh belt: 1000mm

Power: 450kw

Material: 304 stainless steel

Advantages

The ideal frying temperature for banana chips is typically between 160-180°C. A temperature too high will cause the surface to burn quickly, leaving the interior undercooked and resulting in a bitter, burnt taste. A temperature too low will cause the banana chips to remain submerged in oil for an extended period, significantly increasing their oil absorption (resulting in a greasy taste and excessive calories).

1.The fryer is equipped with a digital temperature control system and a uniformly distributed heating element design, which controls oil temperature fluctuations within ±2°C, ensuring that each banana chip maintains a stable, high-temperature environment. This allows for a quick, crispy crust to form, preventing excessive oil penetration, while also allowing for even evaporation of moisture from the interior, preventing defective products that are either "burnt on the outside and soft on the inside" or "soft on the outside and soggy on the inside."

2. Two key features reduce oil absorption:

Mesh belt conveyor structure: Banana slices are laid flat on a mesh conveyor belt. Two layers of mesh belts ensure contact with the hot oil, ensuring even heating and preventing contact with bottom residue.

Real-time filtration system: Select models feature a built-in circulating filter that filters banana chips and impurities from the oil in real time, maintaining oil cleanliness and minimizing "secondary contamination" of the finished product. Ultimately, the banana slices' oil absorption rate is reduced to 15%-20%, resulting in a crispier, less greasy texture.
