Potato Processing Line

🥔Overview

Our Potato Processing Line provides a complete turnkey solution for the cleaning, peeling, cutting, blanching, frying, drying, and packaging of potatoes.
Whether you are producing french fries, potato chips, mashed potatoes, or frozen diced potatoes, this line ensures consistent quality, high efficiency, and superior hygiene.

Built with SUS304 stainless steel and advanced automation, it’s suitable for industrial food processors, frozen food plants, and snack manufacturers seeking scalable production with minimal labor input.

Production Flow

1️⃣ Sorting & Grading
Fresh potatoes are fed onto a sorting conveyor or roller grader to remove stones, mud, and defective pieces — ensuring uniform size and shape for processing.

2️⃣ Washing & Cleaning
A bubble washing machine and rotary washer thoroughly clean the potatoes, removing dirt and surface impurities. Optional ozone or chlorine disinfection systems enhance food safety.

3️⃣ Peeling
Potatoes are peeled using abrasive drum peelers or steam peelers for large-scale operations. The peeling process is efficient and gentle, minimizing product loss.

4️⃣ Cutting / Slicing / Dicing
High-speed cutting machines slice potatoes into sticks, chips, cubes, or flakes according to production needs. Adjustable blades ensure uniform dimensions for even frying or cooking.

5️⃣ Blanching
The continuous blanching machine stabilizes color, texture, and reduces starch before frying or freezing.
Temperature and time are precisely controlled to maintain product consistency.

6️⃣ Dewatering / Drying
After blanching, excess moisture is removed by vibrating dewatering conveyors or centrifugal air dryers, ensuring ideal frying or freezing conditions.

7️⃣ Frying (Optional)
For potato chips or french fries production, the continuous frying machine uses precise temperature control and oil filtration systems to ensure golden, crisp results.

8️⃣ Cooling & Freezing (Optional)
For frozen products, the line integrates cooling conveyors and IQF tunnels to lock in freshness and flavor.

9️⃣ Weighing & Packaging
An automatic weighing and packing system ensures accurate portioning and high-speed packaging in bags, pouches, or trays.
