Our Fully Automatic French Fries Production Line is designed for industrial potato processing plants, frozen food manufacturers, catering supply factories, and large-scale agricultural product processors. The entire line integrates washing, peeling, cutting, blanching, dewatering, frying, deoiling, seasoning, freezing (optional), and packaging into a continuous and highly automated workflow.
Built with SUS304/316 food-grade stainless steel, smart PLC control, and optimized energy-saving systems, this production line delivers stable output, consistent product quality, and significantly reduced labor costs.
Production capacity available: 100 kg/h – 2,000 kg/h.
This solution ensures long-term profitability with low maintenance requirements, reduced oil and energy consumption, and full compliance with HACCP, ISO22000, and CE international food safety standards.
