Requirements for Fresh Potatoes:

In order to produce the potato chips that consumers know and love, potatoes used in the snack food processing line must meet specific requirements.
The diameter should be between 40-60mm, and the potato itself should be a fairly regular size (larger than a golf ball, but smaller than a baseball).
White potatoes work best, and they should have a deoxidized sugar content of less than 0.2%.
Before using the potatoes, they should be placed in storage in a room that is kept around 12-18°C, and must last for a week with no spoiling or loss of freshness.

Capacity
Semi-automatic line: 30kg/h, 50kg/h, 100kg/h
Automatic line: 100kg/h, 150kg/h, 200kg/h, 300kg/h

Flow Chart
The snack food production line follows the process shown below.

Washing and hoistor --> washing peeling machine --> picking line --> washing and hoistor --> cutting machine --> bubble washing machine --> blanching machine --> vibrating dewater machine --> drying line --> frying line --> vibrating deoil machine --> conveyor --> seasoning machine --> conveyor --> packing machine

Introduction to the Main Process

Bubble Washing Process: The bubble washing process is used to wash potato starch from the potato chip and keep it from falling into the oil in order to preserve the service life of the deep fryer. Potato chips are completely immersed into water to keep them from browning so that the final chip is still the crisp golden color.

Blanching Machine: After washing, the potato chips are transported to the blanching machine, which holds hot water that is about 65-90°C. This destroys enzyme activity, and improves and softens the chip for drying and blister prevention. In order to preserve the color, Sodium Hydrogen Sulfite or Sodium Pyrosulfite is added.

Frying Machine: The potato chips are fried for 2-3 minutes at a temperature of 170-180°C.

Frying Oil: The frying oil should not have a high acid value, and should be stable. Ideal oils most potato chip production lines use include rice oil, palm oil or hydrogenated oil. All 3 leave behind very minimal oily taste.
