The potato chips manufacturing process
With the potatoes arriving at the plant, they are examined for blemishes, green edges, by punching holes and tracking the process. The defective potatoes are weighed and if the weight is more than the pre-set weight, the load is rejected.
The potatoes move to various manufacturing stages along the conveyor belt. These belts give gentle vibrations ensuring minimum breakage.
The potatoes are in a vertical conveyer allowing stones to fall and pushes the potatoes to the automatic peeling machine. The potatoes go in cold water washing.
- The potatoes pass a pressure that cuts into paper-thin slices using straight blades.
- The slices fall into cold-water wash removing the starch release.
- Chemical treatment for the potatoes enhances colour. The potato slices in a solution are adjusted for hardness, pH, and mineral content.
- A wire mesh belt at the trough end pulls the hot chips out. The mesh conveyer belt moves along the chips, while excess oil is drained and chips cool.
- The potato slices go under air jets removing excess water. Paddles push slices gently and salt is sprinkled above the trough.
- Frying is in corn oils, vegetable oils, or cottonseed oil. The flavour passes through powdered desired seasonings.
- The chips weight is measured and metal detector checks for any foreign matter picking up in the process. The filling process is accomplished allowing abundance of air to prevent chips from breaking.
