Functionality of Blanching Machines:
-
Receiving and Feeding: Workers or automated conveyor systems feed the potato slices into the blanching machine from the slicing stage to ensure a continuous flow of products. Blanching Process:
-
Hot Water Blanching: The machine immerses the potato slices in hot water at a controlled temperature for a specific duration. This process removes excess starch and deactivates enzymes that cause browning.
-
Steam Blanching: Some machine use steam to quickly and efficiently blanch the potato slices, preparing them for frying.
Cooling: After blanching, the system quickly cools the potato slices using cold water or air to stop the cooking process and prepare them for frying. This step helps maintain the texture and prevents overcooking. -
Starch Removal: The machine removes the excess starch released during blanching. ensuring the potato slices are clean and ready for the next stage of processing.
-
Output: The machine discharges the blanched potato slices and transports them to the frying stage, ensuring they are properly prepared for cooking.
Advantages of Blanching Machines

-
Extended Shelf Life: Additionally, by deactivating enzymes that cause browning, blanching helps extend the shelf life of the potato chips.
-
Efficiency: Furthermore, automated blanching machines increase production speed and reduce manual labor, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity in the production line.
-
Consistency: In the same way, automated blanching ensures that each batch of potato slices is treated uniformly, improving the reliability and uniformity of the final product.
