Additive mixing and dosing system for potato flakes
In the industrial production of potato flakes, ensuring consistent product quality and characteristics such as taste, color, and shelf life is challenging. This requires precise mixing and dosing of various additives into mashed potatoes before they are processed further.
Mix and dose additives accurately to potato flakes
The Additiveline by GPI De Gouwe is a specialized system designed for mixing and dosing various additives into potato flakes in large-scale production. This system addresses the growing need for automation in potato processing lines. Additives such as emulsifiers, phosphates, and dextrose are precisely dosed into mashed potatoes, which are then processed into thin layers, dried, and broken into flakes. The system can handle both dry and liquid additives and features various setups, including single and multi-tank configurations. These setups offer flexibility and enhanced product quality by allowing separate dosing of specific additives. Options include a vacuum transport system to keep dry additives separate from the wet part of the line, various mixing principles like high-speed mixers and inline mixers, and automated control systems for consistent results.
