The <strong>automatic destoner and washer (ASM-WASH1000)<\/strong> removes soil and debris, critical for maintaining hygiene and extending blade life.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Next, <strong>peeling<\/strong> is performed by the <strong>rotary abrasive peeler (ASM-PEEL800)<\/strong>, optimized for the <strong>medium-large potato size grade<\/strong> typical in Brazil. The machine\u2019s adjustable timing ensures minimal flesh loss while achieving a uniform peel.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    After peeling, <strong>sorting and slicing<\/strong> are executed using the <strong>dual-lane slicer (ASM-SLICE2X500)<\/strong> with a <strong>1.2 mm blade gap<\/strong>. This is tailored to the <strong>potato\u2019s starch profile<\/strong>, balancing crispness with structural integrity.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Slices are conveyed to the <strong>multi-stage washer (ASM-WASHER3X)<\/strong> to remove excess surface starch, which is vital for reducing oil absorption and ensuring a clean fry. The <strong>\u0431\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0448\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/strong> stage uses a <strong>continuous belt blancher (ASM-BLANCH1000)<\/strong> at <strong>85 deg C<\/strong> for 90 seconds, adjusting the gelatinization of starches for optimal texture.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Subsequent <strong>de-watering<\/strong> is handled by the <strong>centrifugal dewaterer (ASM-DEWAT800)<\/strong>, lowering surface moisture to under 5 percent, which is crucial for oil management. In the <strong>\u0436\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0430<\/strong> phase, the <strong>continuous fryer (ASM-FRY1000G)<\/strong> operates at <strong>175 deg C<\/strong> with a <strong>gas-fired system<\/strong>, engineered for uniform heat distribution and energy savings.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Post-fry, slices pass through the <strong>vibration de-oiler (ASM-DEOIL650)<\/strong> and then a <strong>cooling conveyor (ASM-COOL1000)<\/strong> to stabilize structure and temperature. <strong>Seasoning<\/strong> is achieved in a <strong>drum tumbler (ASM-SEASON800)<\/strong>. <strong>Metal detection (ASM-METALD400)<\/strong> and <strong>automatic packing (ASM-PACK400)<\/strong> finalize the process, ensuring product safety and consistent <strong>packing speed<\/strong> of up to 35 bags per minute.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class='case-cta-buttons'>\n  <a href='#popmake-779' class='cta-secondary popmake-779'>See Brazil Line Specifications<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<section class='case-specs'>\n<h2>Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\u041f\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0442\u0440<\/th>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<th>Engineering Rationale<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total Capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>1000 kg per h<\/td>\n<td>Meets peak demand for mid-sized Brazilian snack producers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Installed Power<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>185 kW<\/td>\n<td>Optimized for energy efficiency with VFD drives<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Voltage and Frequency<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>220V \/ 60Hz<\/td>\n<td>Compatible with Brazilian industrial grid standards<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Gas Consumption<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>45 cubic m per h<\/td>\n<td>Efficient direct-fired fryer design<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Water Consumption<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2.5 cubic m per h<\/td>\n<td>Multi-stage washing and blanching<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Floor Space<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>420 square meters<\/td>\n<td>Compact layout for urban industrial sites<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Oil Tank Capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>3,500 liters<\/td>\n<td>Ensures stable frying temperature and turnover<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Frying Temperature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>175 deg C<\/td>\n<td>Optimal for Innovator potatoes, balancing color and texture<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Packing Speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>35 bags per minute<\/td>\n<td>High-speed vertical form-fill-seal machine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Oil Absorption Rate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>22 percent<\/td>\n<td>Ensures crispness and margin control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n<section class='case-installation'>\n<h2>On-Site Installation and Commissioning Story<\/h2>\n<p>\n    The production line was shipped from <strong>Qingdao Port<\/strong> to <strong>Port of Santos<\/strong> over a period of <strong>42 days<\/strong> via ocean freight. Upon arrival, local customs clearance was completed within four working days, and the equipment was transported to the client facility in <strong>S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> for staged unloading and inspection.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Installation commenced the following week, with the main technical challenge arising from <strong>voltage stabilization<\/strong> due to fluctuations in the local grid. The Asia Snack Machinery engineering team installed a dedicated <strong>automatic voltage regulator<\/strong> system to ensure all PLC and drive controls operated within \u00b12 percent of nominal <strong>220V\/60Hz<\/strong>. Humidity control was also addressed due to S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s average <strong>60 percent<\/strong> humidity, with dehumidifiers added to the seasoning and packing zones.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    During trial production, the first batches achieved stable throughput at <strong>1000 kg per h<\/strong> and an oil absorption rate of <strong>22 percent<\/strong>. Product crispness was validated under ambient temperatures of <strong>22 deg C<\/strong>. The customer expressed satisfaction with the line\u2019s performance and the rapid troubleshooting support provided on-site.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class='case-compliance'>\n<h2>Compliance and Certification Pathway<\/h2>\n<p>\n    The line was engineered for full compliance with <strong>ANVISA RDC 275\/2002<\/strong> food safety management and <strong>HACCP<\/strong> protocols. All process flows and documentation were prepared to streamline Kosher audits, including ingredient traceability and segregated storage, reflecting Brazil\u2019s optional <strong>Kosher<\/strong> requirements for some export contracts.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    Equipment-level features included <strong>\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u0435\u044e\u0449\u0430\u044f \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u044c 304<\/strong> for all product contact surfaces, <strong>CE-marked PLC<\/strong> controls, and color-coded production zones. Automated CIP (clean-in-place) systems reduced contamination risk, and full lot-level traceability supported both <strong>ANVISA<\/strong> and <strong>HACCP<\/strong> certification. Kosher compliance was achieved by ensuring no cross-contact and by using certified lubricants and cleaning agents.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class='case-fieldnotes'>\n<h2>Engineer Field Notes<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n      During commissioning, we quickly realized the local <strong>Innovator<\/strong> potatoes had a slightly higher average size and a <strong>21 percent starch content<\/strong>. We adjusted the <strong>blanching time<\/strong> and <strong>slice thickness<\/strong> to optimize for crispness and minimize oil uptake, ultimately achieving a consistent product that matched the client\u2019s sensory benchmarks.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      A critical lesson was the importance of early documentation for <strong>Kosher compliance<\/strong>. By involving the client\u2019s Kosher auditor from the outset and strictly segregating ingredient flows, we avoided costly retrofits and passed the preliminary audit on the first attempt.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      For long-term operation in <strong>S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s humid subtropical climate<\/strong>, I recommend regular maintenance of dehumidifiers in the seasoning and packing zones.
