How Are Potato Chips Made Step by Step?

How do plump potatoes turn into crispy and delicious potato chips? Behind this, it is inseparable from the exquisite processing of modern factories and the efficient and reliable potato chips production line. Today, let us go into the factory and reveal the secrets of how are potato chips made step by step?

Step 1: Selecting raw materials

High-quality potato chips cannot be separated from high-quality potatoes. The factory will strictly select potatoes, remove sprouted and damaged inferior ones, and only keep high-quality potatoes with uniform size and moderate starch content, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processing.

Step 2: Washing and Peeling

The screened potatoes are sent to the high-efficiency washing machine, where they are first washed and peeled to remove dirt and impurities on the surface of the potatoes. Subsequently, the peeling machine uses friction or steam peeling technology to quickly remove the potato skin, preserving the nutrition and flavor of the potatoes to the greatest extent.

Step 3: Slicing

The peeled potatoes are fed into a slicer and cut into thin slices of uniform thickness. The sliced potato slices are screened to remove irregular and damaged potato chips, ensuring that each potato chip has a perfect shape.

Step 4: Rinse and dehydrate

The sliced potato slices are sent to the rinsing tank to remove excess starch on the surface to prevent sticking during frying. Then, the dehydrator removes the moisture on the surface of the potato slices to prepare for frying.

Step 5: Frying and seasoning

The dehydrated potato chips will be sent to the fryer and fried at a suitable temperature. The fried potato chips will be seasoned, and according to different taste requirements, salt, chili powder and other seasonings will be sprinkled on them to stimulate the tempting aroma.

Step 6: Cooling and Packaging

The seasoned potato chips will be sent to the cooling tunnel to quickly cool down and prevent the chips from becoming soft. Finally, the automated packaging machine will pack the potato chips into bags and seal them.
