Potato Chip Line

🏭 Product Overview

The Potato Chips Production Line is a complete automatic system designed for producing high-quality fried potato chips and crisps at industrial scale.
From raw potato washing to slicing, frying, flavoring, and packaging, each stage is carefully engineered to maintain the natural flavor, golden color, and crisp texture of the chips while ensuring production efficiency and hygiene.

This line is widely used in snack food factories, potato processing plants, and contract manufacturing facilities, supporting both small-scale startups and large continuous production projects.

⚙️ Complete Processing Flow

1️⃣ Potato Washing & Peeling

• Automatic bubble washing machine removes mud and impurities.

• Brush peeling machine gently removes potato skins without damaging flesh.

• Made of 304 stainless steel, ensuring long service life and hygiene compliance.

• Adjustable peeling strength according to potato type and freshness.

2️⃣ Cutting & Rinsing

• High-speed potato slicer produces uniform slices (0.8–2.0mm adjustable).

• Optional wave-cutting blades for ripple-style chips.

• Continuous rinsing tank removes starch to prevent chips from sticking during frying.

• Water recycling system saves up to 30% on water usage.

3️⃣ Blanching & De-watering

• Hot-water blanching machine inactivates enzymes, preserves color, and improves texture.

• Automatic temperature control between 85–95°C.

• De-watering machine (centrifugal or air-blower type) ensures uniform drying before frying to enhance oil stability and reduce consumption.

4️⃣ Frying System

• Continuous frying machine available in electric, gas, or diesel heating versions.

• Oil temperature precisely controlled between 160–180°C.

• Multi-layer mesh belt prevents chips overlap, ensuring even frying color.

• Oil filtration system extends oil life and keeps products clean and golden.

• Optional vacuum frying for low-oil, healthy snack production.

5️⃣ De-oiling, Flavoring & Cooling

• Centrifugal de-oiling system removes excess surface oil after frying.

• Rotary seasoning drum with powder or liquid sprayer for uniform flavoring (salt, BBQ, cheese, chili, etc.).

• Cooling conveyor reduces chip temperature before packaging, preventing condensation.

6️⃣ Packaging Section

• Automatic weighing and packing machine compatible with pillow bags, nitrogen-filled bags, or stand-up pouches.

• Nitrogen flushing system extends shelf life and keeps chips crispy.

• Optional metal detector and check weigher for food safety and quality assurance.
