Potato Flake Production Line

Cleanliness of potatoes determines their success in further processing. While cleaning is not complicated, you must do it correctly for it to be effective. Potato drum washing is the first step in achieving a perfect end product. Tinwing is continuously developing new, sustainable technologies for this purpose. The set-up of your washing process will depend on the pollution of your potatoes and the type of product you are intending to turn them into.

To achieve excellent results when steam peeling potatoes, Tinwing knows what parameter settings are required to optimize peeling results with the least amount of peel loss and minimal energy consumption. All Tinwing peelers are manufactured with the latest technologies, incorporating easy maintenance and easy cleaning, giving them a low energy consumption and robust performance.

Following the steaming peeling, a brushing machine removes the peel from the product. Depending on the desired peeling result and the required capacity, we install drum brush. The brushes in these machines separate the potato peel, which is subsequently removed. As no water is used during the brushing process, the peels remain suitable for further processing into, for example, animal feed.

In order to be more efficient and reduce potato waste, our company has developed the world's most advanced water hydro cutting equipment. Potato, root and tuber vegetables are easily cut into different products. They can be cut into chips, wedges or slices. Hydro cutter includes a water tank, centrifugal pump, tube, cutting section and discharge conveyor.

A correctly blanched cut product will make further processing more efficient. A blanching process can influence the crispness after frying, the shelf life after packaging, as well as the colour and firmness of the end product. We combine an accurate blanching time and temperature setting with a robust, low maintenance design.

Our many years of experience have helped us design well-considered and efficient blanchers for various processing lines. These are now exported all over the world and are maximizing tons of potatoes.

An accurate cooker time and correct temperature setting are combined with a robust and low maintenance design，turn potatoes into mashed potatoes. During steam cooker, potatoes are cooked in hot water at a temperature dependent on the variety and growing conditions. Once the structure is optimal, a mashing screw mashes the pieces into a light mash. A special pump subsequently transports the mash to the drying roller hygienically and without damage.

Drying mashed potatoes to obtain potato flakes, is an often used application of the drum dryer. When the product has passed the last satellite roll, it passes under the drum dryer and whilst under constant temperature loses the larger part of its water.At the last ascending part of the tube the temperature rises, as a result of this the product falls from the drum and is scraped off by a knife.
