Rotary chip sizer for potato chips
Optimize your snack production with precise grading, ensuring consistent chip size while minimizing product breakage and maintenance time through easy adjustments and wash-down capabilities.
Grades and Sorts Snack and Potato Chips
The Rotary Chip Sizer from Heat and Control is engineered to efficiently grade and sort potato and snack chips, optimizing your production line. Using a patented shaft spacing system, it enables easy adjustments of size parameters via a hand wheel or motorized drive. This mechanism minimizes product breakage with gently sloped chutes and stainless steel wash-down construction allows for hassle-free cleaning and maintenance. Specifically designed for snack food manufacturers, it reliably separates large and small chips at high throughput, catering to continuous operations typical in potato chip and snack food processing. The equipment integrates seamlessly into existing lines with options for single, dual, or triple-deck configurations. Non-corrosive contact parts ensure durability, while pneumatic lifts enable full access for thorough cleaning, reducing downtime and maintenance efforts.
