Elevator
The equipment receives potatoes from sacks / container in bulk and feeds to the

Dust Remover at a uniform rate so as to have proper product throughput. It

consists of a flighted plastic conveyor belt of modular design and a buffer hopper.

Destoner
The equipment removes stones and mud normally adhered to potato surface to make a
safer slicing operation. Potatoes are received in turbulent water bath and are conveyed by
a screw for further operation.

Peeler
The equipment peels potatoes with minimum peel loss. Peeling is carried out
by continuously rotating abrasive peelers. Peeled Potatoes move into an in-

spection conveyor gradually. An infeed hopper controls feeding of potatoes

inside the peeler. Peel waste is carried away with this water through drain
and can be collected at the bottom.

Slice Washer
Equipment performs washing of slices in 3 stages so that surface starch
contents are reduced to minimal. First water intake at slicer washing in first

section, second section is for removal of debris and first water. Second water intake at 3 section and washing also in third section. Third water at

shaker bed. Potato slices from slicer enter into a continuously rotating tumbler tube along with water.

Shaker
Equipment removes excess surface water from the slices and separates them prior to
frying. It consists of a vibrator and drain pan where water gets accumulated and
drained. The amplitude of vibration is so adjusted that it does not break the slices.

Blancher
Slices travel in a turbulent hot water bath. Turbulence of water is just

enough so as to have optimal blanching of the slices without any damage

to its physical state. The product moves in compartmentalized belt so that

each slice gets uniform blanching. Water is recirculated by a pump

through a heat exchanger where it is heated by heating system opted for.
Temperature of the hot water is controlled by a controller whereas the
product travel time is regulated by a variable speed motor.

Fryer
Equipment is of dip frying & multiple inlet type with combination of paddles and submerger

belt. The flow of oil ensures a laminar flow of oil, which is essential in order to have a uniform
frying time for all the slices traveling in it. The equipment is designed to have a low oil holding
capacity in order to achieve low oil turn over
ratio. Complete system comprising of frying

section with paddles & submerger belt , top

hood, takeout belt, continuous oil filter & oil

holding tank. Make up oil is continuously added to the fryer to maintain optimal level by an
automatic level controller. Speed of all the belts
can be varied by variable frequency drives
mounted in panel, so as to adjust the frying

time. Similarly flow of inlet oil can be regulated

with valves. Entire design allows easy cleaning
of the system as top hood along with paddles &
submerger conveyor can be lifted up with help
of motorized screw jacks system provided.

FLAVOUR APPLICATOR & DRUM

Applicator
Flavour is sprinkled in proportion on chips by a rotating screw. Coagulation of flavour is avoided by
mixing blade. A variable speed motor adjusts feed
rate of the flavour.

Flavour Drum
It is a rotary horizontal drum, which blends the
fried product and flavour together so that the flavour is evenly covered as far as practically possible. The drum is made such that its degree of incli-

nation can be adjusted. The drum is also provided

with inwardly projecting product lifters. Speed of
rotation of drum is variable .
