French fries production line workflow

Foodline French Fries Production Line

Complete French Fries Processing Flow

Potato lifting → washing & peeling → cutting → bubble washing → blanching → vibration dewatering → air drying  → frying → vibration deoiling → cooling → freezing → packaging

  1. Fresh potatoes are lifted and fed into the production line evenly.
  2. Potatoes are thoroughly washed and peeled to remove soil, impurities, and skins.
  3. Peeled potatoes are cut into uniform strips of the required size.
  4. The cut potato strips are cleaned to remove excess surface starch and prevent sticking and discoloration.
  5. Potato strips are blanched to inactivate enzymes and improve color and texture.
  6. Surface water is removed by vibration.
  7. Moisture is further reduced by air blowing.
  8. Potato strips are continuously fried at controlled temperature.
  9. Excess oil is removed through vibration to reduce oil content.
  10. Fried fries are cooled to stabilize the product before freezing.
  11. Fries are rapidly frozen to maintain freshness, shape, and quality.
  12. Fries are automatically weighed and packed into bags.

The French fries processing flow is not one-size-fits-all. We can design and customize the most suitable processing line for your production.
