Potato slice speed washer for potato chips
In potato chip production, maintaining clean and uniform potato slices is critical for producing high-quality chips. Issues such as surface starch and particles can lead to inconsistent frying and affect the end product’s quality.
Efficiently rinse and clean potato slices
The Potato Slice Speed Washer, by Heat and Control, provides a turbulent water bath with fresh water sprays that offer more extensive starch and scrap removal compared to other models. Its design includes a heavy-duty pump that keeps fines in suspension and recirculates washer water to the lower tank jet, directing fines to a Motorized Catch Box for continuous removal. Adjust the wash dwell time by changing the water level in the washer, enabling either a full wash cycle or a simple rinse to minimize slice breakage. This device can be modified for banana and plantain slices, enhancing its versatility across different food processing lines.
Benefits
- Improved product yield with adjustable wash cycles
- Reduced slice breakage with limited handling
- Suspended fines for cleaner fryer operation
- Modifiable for banana and plantain slices
- Versatility with adjustable conveyor speeds
