Potato slice washer for surface starch and fines removal
Ensure optimal cleaning and dewatering of potato slices while significantly minimizing fryer fuel usage and preserving product integrity with a gentle washing process that reduces surface starch and fines.
Washes, Rinses, and Dewaters Potato Slices
The Gentle Wash Potato Slice Washer system is a modular solution engineered for efficient washing, rinsing, and dewatering of potato slices in food processing. Its unique spiral action design minimizes mechanical agitation, preserving product integrity while reducing fines and surface starch. This system is ideal for potato chips, sliced potato snacks, and washed vegetable slices. Integrated with a three-stage rinsing process, it utilizes two reused water rinses and one fresh rinse for optimal water efficiency. Compatible with existing production lines, this system enhances fuel efficiency by reducing moisture content before frying. The compact design is easy to install and requires minimal floor space, perfect for continuous operations in the food and snack industries. Tailored engineering support ensures seamless integration with dewatering conveyors and water removal systems to maintain cleanliness and production throughput.
