Potato slice washer conditioner
In industrial snack production, maintaining consistent quality of potato chips is challenging. Factors like water temperature, slice dwell time, and de-watering significantly influence the final product’s color and texture.
Ensures consistent washing and blanching
The Potato Slice Washer Conditioner by Heat and Control is designed to provide accurate control over water temperature, slice dwell time, and de-watering. This system ensures a uniform feed of potato slices to the fryer, maintaining the desired color and texture of the final chips. It features a perforated drum that exposes all slice surfaces to water, effectively removing surface starch and particles. An optional AirSweep System enhances dewatering efficiency using a high-velocity air stream that removes excess surface water before the slices reach the fryer, thereby reducing energy consumption. This equipment is ideal for the production of potato chips, offering consistency and efficiency in the washing and blanching processes.
