In today's competitive food industry, an efficient French fries production line is critical for delivering consistent product quality and meeting growing consumer demand.
At Joyshine Machinery, a trusted manufacturer of food processing equipment, we are dedicated to providing reliable solutions that help businesses achieve high-efficiency production.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the standard French fries production process.
1. Potato Cleaning and Peeling
The production process starts with selecting fresh, high-quality potatoes.
The potatoes are first cleaned and peeled using a spiral brush roller washing and peeling machine, which integrates cleaning and peeling into one continuous operation.
Joyshine Machinery’s equipment is designed for gentle handling, ensuring minimal waste and maximum yield.
2. Cutting
After peeling, the potatoes are transferred to a French fries cutting machine.
Our cutting equipment can produce fries in various sizes, allowing manufacturers to meet different market demands, from thin shoestring fries to thicker cut styles, with high precision and consistency.
3. Blanching
After cutting, the potato strips undergo a blanching process.
In this step, the fries are immersed in hot water at controlled temperatures to remove excess surface starch, helping prevent sticking during frying and ensuring a better texture and appearance.
Blanching also stabilizes the internal structure of the fries, leading to a crisp exterior and tender interior after frying.
4. Dewatering
Following blanching, the fries enter a wind-drying system.
High-speed air knives are used to blow off surface moisture, reducing oil absorption during frying and enhancing the crispiness of the finished fries.
Joyshine’s air-drying solutions are designed for efficiency while maintaining the integrity of the product.
5. Frying
Next, the potato strips are fried using a continuous frying machine.
This step cooks the fries to develop their characteristic golden color and crispy texture.
Joyshine Machinery’s continuous fryers offer stable oil temperature control and efficient oil filtration, supporting consistent high-quality output for large-scale production.
6. Oil Removal
After frying, the fries pass through a vibrating de-oiling machine.
This system gently removes excess oil from the surface of the fries, resulting in a lighter, healthier product without compromising the fries’ structure.
7. Freezing
For frozen French fries, the product is quickly frozen using an individual quick freezing (IQF) tunnel.
Rapid freezing ensures that each fry maintains its original shape and texture while locking in freshness, making them ideal for long-term storage and transport.
8. Packaging
Finally, the frozen fries are packed using a fully automatic continuous packaging machine.
Joyshine Machinery’s packaging systems ensure accurate weighing, fast bagging, and secure sealing, protecting product quality and extending shelf life during distribution.
