Semi-automatic potato chips processing plant flow chart
Potato cleaning machine
The main functions of the potato cleaning machine are cleaning and peeling. It can peel off the potatoes while cleaning and has a high cleaning efficiency. The machine consists of 9 hair rollers evenly distributed inside the machine. So it can fully contact the potatoes and thoroughly clean up the impurities on the surface of the potatoes.
potato chips cutting machine
The potato chip slicer machine has the functions of slicing and cutting. The potato chips produced by this machine have the same thickness and complete dicing. You can also meet the production requirements of various potato chip sizes by changing to other sizes and shapes. It is worth mentioning that the potato chip slicer can also be used to make wave potato chips.
chips blanching machine
The main function of potato blanching machine is to remove the starch in the potato to maintain the bright color and taste of the potato chips. This potato chips making machine is made of all 304 stainless steel, and the blanching temperature range is 80-100℃ and can be adjusted.
chips dewatering machine
The dehydrator uses the principle of centrifugation for dehydration. The machine control panel makes the dehydration time adjustable. The dehydration time is 1 to 2 minutes.
potato chips frying machine
The potato chip frying machine is made of all 304 stainless steel, so it can ensure a safe and hygienic environment for frying. The frying temperature of potato chips is generally maintained at 160~180℃, and the frying time is 1-5 minutes. The semi automatic potato chips production line uses a frame fryer. The more frames the machine has, the higher its production efficiency. In order to improve production efficiency, most small potato chip manufacturers often purchase multiple frying boxes.
chips de-oiling machine
The chip deoiling machine has the same working principle as the dehydrator. Its purpose is to remove excess oil on the surface of potato chips to ensure a better taste.
seasoning machine
The octagonal seasoning machine evenly mixes the flavoring and potato chips by rotating continuously. Although the machine is constantly rotating, it will not damage the potato chips. The flavoring machine also has multiple seasoning head models. If you need to spray liquid seasoning, the machine can also add an automatic seasoning spraying device to achieve high automation.
potato chips packing machine
This potato chips packaging machine can be set with all the data before packing, such as the packing size, packing weight, packing speed, etc. This potato chip packing machine can pack 25-35 bags of potato chips per minute. Due to different packaging specifications, the packaging speed is different. Customers can set their own required packaging weight.

Fully automatic crispy potato chips production line
Compared with small potato processing machines, the large chips plant replaced a large-capacity potato chips machine. And in this line, many hoists are added to replace manual feeding and discharging. This automatic potato chip processing line can realize the fully automatic process from raw material feeding to frying and packaging. It has a high degree of automation and covers a wide area. Therefore, this fully automatic potato chips production line is suitable for large potato chip processing plants.
Fully automatic potato chips production line video
Large potato chips processing line process
You can see from the video that the machine in the large potato chips production line has been replaced with an automatic high-volume machine.
- The blanching machine and frying machine have been replaced with mesh belt continuous machines. The mesh belt fryer can control the frying time by controlling the speed of potato chip transportation. The machine controls the frying time and temperature by the PLC display screen. And the machine also has the features of an automatic lifting mesh belt and automatic cleaning.
- The octagonal flavoring machine is replaced with a rotarty drum seasoning machine in the large line. It can realize the continuity of seasoning while realizing automatic feeding.
- For packaging, a four-head or ten-head scale is usually used to achieve large-volume automatic packaging instead of the potato chips packaging machine above.
