Potato chip production line

Achieve consistent, high-quality potato chips with a seamlessly integrated line that optimizes every stage from pre-cleaning to flavoring, ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency in your production process.

Processes and Refines Potato-Based Products

Kiremko’s Potato Chip Processing Line is tailored for snack manufacturers and food production companies aiming for seamless integration into existing facilities. This system stands out with its capacity to handle multiple potato snack varieties, including chips and fries, at up to 70 tons per hour. The equipment line encompasses cyclone destoners and drum washers for optimal pre-cleaning, abrasive peelers for precision peeling, and innovative cutting tools like the FAM Centris™ slicer for uniform chip production.

The Hi-Flow blancher and advanced frying systems improve the quality and consistency of the end products by accurately controlling blanching times and maintaining optimal frying temperatures. Kiremko’s fryers feature an insulated hood to minimize energy loss, and a controlled oil supply system ensures to prevent over-oxidation.

Automation is a key feature, with PLC-control and remote monitoring enabling streamlined operations, while the WeighGuard system ensures precise flavor dosing for consistent output. The equipment is constructed from robust materials offering excellent resistance to wear, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. Furthermore, the system supports CIP (Clean-In-Place) for efficient cleaning, minimizing downtime and contamination risks. With Kiremko’s customization options, processing lines can be tailored to meet specific production needs, backed by engineering support for optimal deployment.
