A French fry production line is a complex system involving multiple processes and equipment. From raw material processing to finished product packaging, each step requires specific equipment. The following is a detailed introduction to a French fry production line, including the main equipment and process flow.
Main Equipments:
The processing line can add or reduce equipment according to different processing materials to achieve the best matching processing technology and optimal production efficiency.
Elevator:
It is used to transport raw potatoes between various equipments, reducing the labor intensity of workers and realizing continuous operation.
Potato Peeling Machine:
It adopts advanced brush principle to wash and peel potatoes, and the washing and peeling chamber adopts spiral blade propulsion to realize automatic and continuous washing and peeling.
Selecting Conveyor:
After the materials are cleaned and peeled, they are transported to the next process via a mesh belt drive. Workers manually pick out defective or incompletely peeled materials to keep the workshop floor clean.
Potato Slicer:
The potatoes are cut into uniform strips with adjustable strip size, high yield rate and smooth cut surface.
Bubble Washing Machine:
Rinse the cut potato strips to remove surface impurities and ensure that the potato strips are clean and hygienic.
Mesh-belt Blanching Machine:
It blanches the potato strips to preserve their color and kill bacteria.
Normal-temperature Water Pre-cooling Machine/Ice-water Pre-cooling Machine:
It lowers the temperature of the fries and ensures they are at room temperature before entering the freezer.
Vibrating Drainage Machine:
It removes the moisture on the surface of the potato strips.
Air-blower Drying Conveyor:
It further removes the moisture on the surface of the French fries.
Vibrating Feeder:
It vibrates to prevent the French fries from sticking together.
Fluidized Quick Freezing Machine:
The screened French fries are quickly frozen to ensure that the center temperature of the French fries quickly reaches -18°C to reduce the loss of nutrients.
Weighing And Packing Machine:
The fully automatic packaging machine completes the entire process of feeding, bag making, filling, sealing, date printing, counting, and finished product output, saving manpower and material resources.
