Factors Affecting Potato Chips Plant Price

  • Production capacity: The greater the production capacity of the equipment, the higher the price. This is because high-capacity equipment requires a more powerful power system, a more advanced control system, and more durable materials.
  • Automation: A production line with a high degree of automation can reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency, but the price is also relatively high. For example, a fully automated potato chip production line may be equipped with advanced robotics and intelligent control systems.
  • Equipment quality: High-quality equipment is usually made of high-quality materials, has a longer service life and higher stability, and the price will be correspondingly higher.
  • Brand and after-sales service: Equipment from well-known brands is often more expensive, but also provides better after-sales service and technical support. After-sales service includes equipment installation, commissioning, training, and repair and maintenance.
  • Market supply and demand: The demand and supply of potato chip production line equipment in the market will also affect the price. If the market demand is large and the supply is tight, the price may rise.

How Many Chips Do You Get From 1KG Potatoes?

One kilogram of potato can produce about 250-350 grams of potato chips (here refers to the weight of potato chips after frying). Of course, the specific output will also be affected by factors such as potato variety, size, water content and production process. If advanced production equipment and technology are used, the utilization rate of potatoes can be improved, thereby increasing the output of potato chips.

How Potato Chips Are Made Step By Step In Factory?

  • 1. Washing and peeling machine: it used for cleaning and peeling the potatoes, with high efficiency and low loss.
  • 2. Slicing: Slicing the fresh potatoes into chips. The slice thickness is usually adjustable to meet different requirements.
  • 3. Blanching machine: Rinses the potato chips and protect their color.
  • 4. Dewatering: removing the water on the potato chips before frying. Thus can can greatly shorten frying time and improve the taste of potato chips.
  • 5. Frying: frying the potato chips.The oil temperature control is accurate, thus ensuring the quality and taste of potato chips.
  • 6. Deoiling: removing oil from fried potato chips, overcoming the drawbacks of high oil content and greasiness, thereby improving the taste.
  • 7. Flavoring: The potato chips will be mixed with different flavors according to your needs by octagonal flavoring machine or drum flavoring machine.
  • 8. Nitrogen filling and packaging: the nitrogen filling machine fills nitrogen into packaging bags during packing, effectively preventing potato chips from breaking and lengthening their shelf life. This process involves inflating, packing, and making codes all at once.
