Turnkey potato flake processing line
Effortlessly transform raw potatoes into high-quality flakes with this integrated line, ensuring optimal texture and moisture levels for your final product.
Transforms Raw Potatoes into Dehydrated Flakes
The Flake line from Tummers Food Processing Solutions excels in converting raw potatoes into versatile, dehydrated products such as flakes and starch, tailored for the food processing industry. The process begins with cleaning, peeling, and cutting the potatoes, followed by precision boiling and mashing, ensuring optimal texture and stability. The core component, the Drum Dryer, evenly applies a thin layer of mash onto a heated cylinder for efficient moisture evaporation. This results in a consistent sheet of dried potato, milled to your desired specifications for applications ranging from snacks to baby food.
Designed for seamless integration, this turnkey line includes inspection belts and dosing hoppers, supported by automated lobe pumps and mill sifters, managing up to several tons per hour with continuous operation. Energy use is minimized through optimized motor control, reducing consumption significantly. Built from durable materials to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the line complies with food safety standards, incorporating easy-to-clean features and customization options. Emphasizing sustainability, Tummers focuses on reducing waste and conserving water throughout the process, offering comprehensive engineering support for tailored solutions.
