Working Principle and Function of French Fries Blanching Machine

Potatoes provide humans with sufficient nutrition and delicious taste. In the processing of French fries, a blanching process is required, mainly because potatoes are rich in starch and other ingredients. After cutting, they will change color when exposed to air, affecting the appearance and overall quality of the product. The blanching process is inseparable from the French fries blanching machine. Here I will share with you the working principle and function of the French fries blanching machine.

Working Principle of French Fries Blanching Machine

The cut French fries are fed into the blanching machine through the feed port. In the blanching machine, the French fries will be soaked in hot water, a process called rinsing. The purpose of rinsing is to remove starch and impurities on the surface of the French fries to make the French fries cleaner.

After rinsing, the French fries will be transferred to the blanching area. In the blanching area, the French fries will be exposed to hot water or steam for the blanching process. The blanching time and temperature can be adjusted according to product requirements. During the blanching process, hot water or steam can kill bacteria and microorganisms and make the texture of the French fries soft. This helps to improve the taste and uniformity of the fries.

After the blanching is completed, the fries will be transferred to the drainage area and the excess water will be removed through the drainage device. At the same time, the fries will gradually cool down so that they can enter the next frying step.

The French fries blanching machine can remove starch and impurities on the surface of the fries through the steps of rinsing and blanching, improving the taste and quality of the fries. In addition, the blanching process can also sterilize and soften the fries, improving the hygiene safety and taste of the product. The entire blanching process is an important link in the potato chip production line, laying a good foundation for the subsequent frying steps.
