Kettle / Potato Chips Batch Flow Control

In the world of snack food manufacturing, where precision and consistency are paramount, achieving an efficient batch flow control process is critical. KMG introduces an innovative solution for controlling batches of potatoes fed into the frying process, a key element in the production of kettle and potato chips. This technology ensures a consistent and efficient process, making it a game-changer for manufacturers in this industry.

Features

  • Batch or continuous feed (dependent on batch weighing source).
  • Mechanical drive easy clean conveyors.
  • Full stainless steel systems suitable for hygienic wash down.
  • PLC controlled.
  • Access platforms.
  • Bespoke system relative to fryer layout.

KMG's Kettle / Potato Chips Batch Flow Control system plays a pivotal role in managing the transfer of batches of potatoes into the frying process. This level of control is essential for maintaining a consistent and efficient manufacturing process, whether the production involves single or multiple fryers, standalone or shared pre-frying slicers.

The system offers two primary modes of operation:

1. Batch Control: In this mode, individual batches of potatoes are accurately weighed at the beginning of the system. Subsequently, the controlled flow of these batches is directed to individual fryers using gated conveyors equipped with holdback mechanisms. This ensures that batches remain separate throughout the frying process, a critical aspect of maintaining consistency and quality.

2. Continuous Feed: Alternatively, the system can operate in continuous feed mode with batch weighing occurring pre-slicing. This approach streamlines the process, allowing for the continuous movement of product to the slicer.

KMG's Batch Flow Control system offers a high degree of flexibility to cater to different production requirements and layouts. The incorporation of cutting-edge technology, such as PLC control, ensures precise and consistent batch control. Hygiene is also a top priority, with the entire system built from stainless steel, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance. KMG's commitment to providing bespoke solutions for fryer layout ensures that the system seamlessly integrates with the existing production environment. This adaptability and precision make the Kettle / Potato Chips Batch Flow Control system a valuable asset for snack food manufacturers looking to enhance their production processes. By offering versatile batch and continuous feeding options, mechanical drive conveyors, and a hygienic stainless steel design, it equips manufacturers with the tools they need to meet the demands of a fast-paced industry.

  • Batch or Continuous Feed: The system offers the flexibility of both batch and continuous feeding, depending on the source of batch weighing.
  • Mechanical Drive Conveyors: The conveyors are designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance, contributing to the overall efficiency of the system.
  • Full Stainless Steel Systems: Hygiene is a priority in snack food production. The full stainless steel construction of the system allows for thorough and hygienic washdown procedures.
  • PLC Controlled: The system is underpinned by sophisticated PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) technology, providing precise control over the batch flow process.
  • Access Platforms: The inclusion of access platforms enhances safety and convenience for operators.
  • Bespoke System Design: The system is tailored to fit the layout and requirements of the specific fryer configuration, ensuring seamless integration.
