How to Design Potato Chips Production Line

When you want to setup a potato chips processing plant commercially, a reasonable design is important. It not only can make your potato chips production more smoothly but also is beneficial for reducing the cost of potato chips production. Here, FPL food equipment factory can help you a lot. We provide you with area division, potato chips production line drawing, suitable equipment, required area, etc. In addition, if you have any other requirements about potato chips processing line design, you also can contact us for solutions.

How many parts are contained in a potato chips line?

For potato chips line design, it is necessary to know how many parts it contains. In general, it consists of three areas at least. Material area, potato chips making system workshop and finished potato chips products storage area.

Usually, material for potato chips preparation is important. For prevent over moisture content, it is advisable to keep potatoes indoors. But sometimes, you cannot achieve it, especially during large scale potato chips manufacturing. At that time, you can build a shed for outdoor storage. And covering the potatoes with something to prevent them from spoiling due to moisture.

In potato chips processing plant, one of the most important areas is space for potato chips production line equipment. For this, we recommend you build a workshop to accommodate it. This can reduce the outside influences of rain, snow, big wind, etc on your potato chips production process. And keeping potato chips making clean and healthy in a friendly environment. So you can prepare potato chips more smoothly.

Finally, you also need to set up a storage area for the final potato chips products you prepare. Because after completing potato chips making, it is impossible to transport them sell immediately every time. Therefore, you need a place to store finished products temporarily at least.

How many areas does a potato chips making factory cover?

Besides potato chips plant function area division, it is dispensable to know the area coverage in potato chips making line design. Then both material area and final product area are related to output simply. The smaller the capacity, the smaller the area needed. However, for the occupation area of potato chips production line, you also need to consider the method and equipment you choose.

If you have a workshop which is big enough for potato chips manufacturing, our fully automatic potato chips plant is an excellent choice for you. In general, a complete automatic potato chips making line consists peeling, inspecting, washing, cutting, blanching, dewatering, frying, deoiling, flavoring and packing. But we need to design the area according to your equipment dimension customization. The precise parameters should be determined by your capacity, equipment configuration, etc.

However, if your workshop area is small, you can choose semi-automatic potato chips making line to prepare potato chips. Only need several machines, they can help you finish the production of chips. Because of less equipment, their space occupations are far smaller than others.

How many potato chips making machine do you need?

Potato chips production equipment is the most important condition to make potato chips. But how many potato chips processing machinery should be used in your potato chips production plant? Here are the facilities you need to use. Including peeler, inspector, air bubble washing machine, potato cutter machine, blanching equipment, dewatering machine, continuous fryer, deoiling machine, flavoring equipment and packaging machine.

What is the requirement of raw material for potato chips production line?

As we all know, potato as an only raw material can be used to make potato chips. Choosing suitable potatoes is important for you to make it. You should pay attention to this question.

Thus, what kind of potatoes should you use? Here are two kinds of potatoes in the market. Waxy potatoes and starchy potatoes. And this classification is mainly based on differences in their texture, starch content and moisture content. Then the core of potato chips is crispy, which means the skin needs to be dehydrated. But waxy potatoes have too much water and are difficult to crisp. So potato chips need floury potatoes. This type of potato has a higher starch content, a thicker skin, and a lower moisture content.

When it encounters hot oil, the thick, dry outer layer only needs to absorb relatively little fat to easily develop a crispy texture. What’s more important is that the sugar content of this potato is only about 0.62%, which is about 50 to 60% of other types of potatoes. The lower sugar content also makes the potato chips less likely to discolor during the frying process, maintaining a uniform golden color. These are what you can use to make potato chips.
