Small-scale banana chip production line

Introduction to a Small-Scale Banana Chips Production Plant

Deze kleinschalige productielijn is specifiek ontworpen voor het vervaardigen van bananenchips. Bananenchips zijn een razend populaire snack die wordt gemaakt van gesneden, geblancheerde, gefrituurde, aan de lucht gedroogde en gekruide bananen. De chips zijn rijk aan mineralen en eiwitten, waardoor ze een uitstekende snack zijn voor zowel een energieboost als voor een gezond gewichtsbeheersingsregime.

Semiautomatic Plantain Chip Production Line Application

This small-scale plantain chip machine is perfect for producing ready-to-eat, packaged fried snacks from plantains and bananas. It is also versatile enough to process a wide variety of other fruits and root vegetables, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, and cassava.

Voordelen van een kleinschalige productielijn voor bananenchips

1. De kleinschalige productielijnen voor bananenchips bestaan uit losstaande machines, waarbij elke eenheid onafhankelijk van elkaar kan worden gebruikt. 2. Deze semi-automatische productielijn voor bananenchips is eenvoudig te installeren; het is enkel nodig om de machines in de juiste volgorde op te stellen en aan te sluiten op de stroomvoorziening, waarna de lijn direct in gebruik kan worden genomen.

3. Ved å udskifte en eller to selvstændige maskiner kan man producere chips, hvilket gør det muligt for én enkelt produktionslinje at fremstille en bred vifte af forskellige friterede snacks.

4. We can also supply production lines for banana chips with capacities of 30kg/h, 60kg/h, and 150kg/h.

Banana Chip Production Line Workflow

Plantains/bananas → Peeling (manual or mechanical) → Slicing → Blanching → De-watering → Frying → De-oiling → Seasoning → Nitrogen-flushed packaging

9 main stages of production and 7 banana processing machines

1. Material selection

As for the selection, you can choose from various types of bananas, though you are somewhat limited by their level of ripeness. Bananas that are still slightly green or under-ripe are ideal for making banana chips.

2. Voorbereidende handelingen of het pellen van de banaan

Unripe bananas can be a real pain to peel. To make it easier, try blanching them in boiling water for about two to three minutes, then immediately plunge them into cold water; this makes the skin slide right off with your hands. Alternatively, you could simply use a banana peeler.

3. Snijding van bananenchips

Once the bananas have been peeled, they are fed into a slicing machine equipped with a diagonal blade that produces perfectly uniform banana chips. The cutting angle can be fully customised to suit specific requirements. This process ensures that the resulting banana chips have a smooth, flawless surface, free from any mechanical damage. Currently, this machine is considered one of the most advanced pieces of equipment on the market for circular-cut banana chip production.

4. Blanching the banana chips

The sliced banana chips are then blanched to preserve their natural colour and flavour. This blanching process takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. By inactivating the enzymes, blanching ensures the bananas maintain a superior appearance and taste.

5. Banana chip drying

Next, the chips must be dehydrated using the TS800 dehydration machine. Tests have shown that removing moisture makes the chips much easier to fry. The TS800 utilises a centrifugal process to physically extract water from the surface of the bananas.

Once dehydrated, the chips are fried using specialised food frying equipment. These machines support a variety of heating methods, including coal, electricity, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. While coal provides an unlimited heat source, electricity offers a cleaner alternative, and natural gas is much more space-efficient. Alternatively, liquefied petroleum gas can deliver high-intensity heat. This allows operators to choose the heating method that best suits their specific requirements.

The fried chips will undergo a deoiling process to remove excess oil. The deoiling machine operates on the same centrifugal principle as a dewatering machine, where oil is extracted through high-speed rotation within a barrel. Food deoiling can reduce transportation costs and extend shelf life. Consequently, deoiling machines are widely used to remove oil from products such as banana chips, potato chips, fried peanuts, fried beans, and fried meatballs, and are often used in conjunction with food frying equipment.

8. Banana chip flavouring

Customers can enhance the flavour of banana chips with ease; the BL1000 disc seasoning machine for banana chips features an eye-catching design and high output capacity, making it an ideal solution for seasoning chips, French fries, instant noodles, broad beans, and various puffed snacks in small to medium-sized food processing plants.

9. Banana chips packaging

Packaging can significantly extend shelf life; when sealed or vacuum-packed, the flavour and quality of food remain intact. The DZ-600/2s packaging machine offers both vacuum sealing and nitrogen flushing options. In addition to banana chips, the DZ-600/2s vacuum-nitrogen packaging machine is widely used for various puffed and fried snacks, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and chemical materials.
