What machines are used to make chips? Depending on the production requirements and production environment, you may need to use different equipment. The following are the commonly used equipment in the potato chips production process.
Cleaning and peeling machine: The cleaning and peeling machine is the first step in potato chip production. This equipment is used to clean the dirt and impurities on the surface of potatoes and remove the skin. This ensures that the potatoes are clean and pollution-free, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing.
Slicing machine: The slicing machine cuts the washed potatoes into uniform slices. The thickness of the slices can be adjusted according to customer needs. The thickness of the slices directly affects the taste and frying effect of the potato chips.
Blanching machine: The blanching machine uses hot water to treat the cut potato slices to remove starch and prevent oxidation and discoloration. It can enhance the toughness of potato chips and improve the taste.
Frying machine: The frying machine is the core equipment in potato chips production, responsible for frying potato chips until golden brown. By adjusting the oil temperature and time, the color, taste and aroma of the potato chips can be ensured to be optimal.
Oil removing machine: The oil removing machine is used to remove excess oil on the surface of potato chips after frying. It reduces the oil content of potato chips, improves product quality, and meets health needs.
Air cooling machine: The air cooling machine cools the fried potato chips quickly by using cold air to facilitate subsequent packaging. It can prevent the potato chips from softening or deteriorating in quality due to residual heat.
Packaging machine: The packaging machine is the last link in the potato chips production line, which is used to seal and package the potato chips to ensure the storage and transportation quality of the potato chips.
In addition to the above basic equipment, the production line can also add equipment with specific functions according to customer needs, such as:
Seasoning machine: spray seasonings such as salt, chili powder, etc. evenly on potato chips.
Metal detector: detect whether there are metal foreign objects in the package to ensure food safety.
