The sorting conveyor features a stainless steel frame and a food-grade conveyor belt. Workers can pick out spoiled potatoes, residual skin, and irregularly sized raw materials during the conveying process.
The bubble washing machine utilizes bubbling action and circulating water flow to remove residual starch and fine impurities. Starch removal is a crucial step in fully automatic chips making machine, as starch affects the final texture of the product.

Pre-cooking and Dehydration
The washed potato slices enter the blanching machine. Pre-cooking improves the internal texture and color of the potato chips.
After pre-cooking, the potato slices enter a vibrating screen. This equipment uses high-frequency vibration to remove excess surface moisture and screen out fragments.

The air-drying dewatering machine employs multiple sets of fans to blow air onto the potato chips on the conveyor belt. This dewatering process reduces oil splashing when the chips enter the fryer.
The continuous fryer conveys potato chips into the oil tank via a mesh belt, frying them at a set temperature for a specific duration. A dual-layer mesh belt minimizes chip overlap.

The vacuum filter removes fine residues from the oil, reducing the impact of repeated heating during frying on oil quality.
The air drying deoiling machine uses fans, a turnover mesh belt, and a bottom oil-collection structure to expose the chip surfaces to airflow, thereby reducing oil content.

FAQ
What are the production volumes?
Common production capacities include 30 kg/h, 50 kg/h, 70 kg/h, 100 kg/h, 200 kg/h, and 300 kg/h. Models with a capacity of over 100 kg are fully automatic. Those with a capacity of 100 kg or less are semi-automatic and require manual assistance.
What is the ratio of raw materials to finished products?
Finished potato chips: Potato-to-product ratio of 1:0.75 (varies slightly depending on the potato variety). Standard market chip thicknesses: 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.5 mm.
What are the heating methods?
The primary heating method is electric heating. Please feel free to contact us if you require other heating methods.
