Products Information of French Fries Production Line

This production line consists of machinery for the receipt, washing and peeling of raw potatoes, as well as for the slicing, sorting, blanching, frying, cooling and packaging of French fries. In addition, a production line also contains equipment for transportation between operations, water and sewage management, supporting structures, service platforms and the processing of waste.

	Receipt, Washing and Peeling of raw potatoes
Certain proportions (adjusted capacity) of pre-cleaned potatoes are transported from a screw feeder to a washer-separator where the potatoes are washed, and stones, minerals and organic impurities are removed. The washed potatoes are then transported by screw conveyor to the preliminary evaporator to soften the peel (using steam) and afterwards, by conveyor, to the brush peeler. Unwanted material is removed from the evaporator by means of the steam expander. The final washing of the potatoes takes place in the bar peeler which partially utilizes already processed water from further processes used in the production of fries, (the blanching and cooling of sliced material), and in its final section - fresh drinking water.

Slicing department

Peeled potatoes are checked on the checking table where potatoes unsuitable for further processing are manually discarded. Pure potato is then fed by the elevator into the batching device, consisting of a container, removing screw conveyor and batching conveyor. The purpose of the batching device is to collect a sufficient number of potatoes to guarantee production continuity, and regular batching to further thermal processing. The quantity of raw potato thus produced guarantees the operation of the line for about 1 hour, to allow the front end of the line to be stopped periodically, and the potato cleaning devices to be washed.

Blanching & frying department

The batching conveyor has adjustable rpm for setting the correct capacity. A strictly defined quantity of potatoes is fed by the elevator into the cutting device, where they are sliced. The process of washing takes place as the fries are being sorted. The sliced material selected is subjected to preliminary blanching at 90-95C for 7-12 minutes, and then goes onto a vibrating sieve where excess water is removed, and from there it is lowered into the fryer. Fries from the fryer are then dropped onto a further vibrating sieve which removes excess oil from the surface of the fries.

	Cooling and packaging of French fries
Fries are packed into collective packages (two- or three-layer bags or cardboard boxes of 10-25 kg capacity) and primary packages. Primary packing is makes use of a packing automaton which packs fries into 0.5kg heat-welded foil bags, which are then placed into the collective cardboard boxes. The packaged product is finally transported by conveyor into the deep-freeze compartments

All the data are base on our 20 French Fries production line and are only for customers' reference, we can adjust the specification according to your requirements.
