Chips making machine

Forming of flour chips can be made in two ways: by direct forming out of dough or cutting out of dough ribbon.

For the first method rotor forming machines with replaceable drums are used; drums define the shape and size of product.

For the second method a pre-forming of dough ribbon is required; it is made by roller extruder, after that the width of ribbon is calibrated by the knife device, the surface of the dough ribbon is dried in a tunnel oven to preserve the shape of the pieces and prevent sticking of pieces after cutting.

Dough pieces of the required size are made on the cutting machine, at this size of chips is defined by replaceable cutting drums of the machine.

Preparation of chips is done by deep-frying of dough pieces in the fryer. A this the design of the fryer provides frying of a product fully immersed in the hot oil in order to ensure the best quality of the finished products.

The fryer is selected depending on the required capacity of the line.

Oil removal from the product is carried out on a special conveyor installed after the fryer.

The drum with dispenser of spices installed at the inlet provides the production of chips with different tastes, at this the design of the drum ensures an even distribution of spices throughout the product.

The cooling conveyor system, which is most conveniently designed according to the production area layout, brings the chips to the packing temperature.
