200kg/h Semi-automatic Banana Chips Production Line Technical Parameters

Working Process of 200kg/h Banana Chips Production Line

9 main working process and 7 banana processing machines:

1. Material selecting

About the selecting, you can choose different varies of banana, but banana’s degree of ripeness is limited. The under-ripe or green banana could be used for making banana chips.

2. Pre-treating or banana peeling 

The unripe banana is hard to be peeled. The pre-treating procedure is putting the banana into hot water for cooking 2-3 minutes, the next step is placing the banana into cold water and the pre-treat banana will become much easier to be peeled by hand.
Or you can peel banana by a banana peeling machine.

3. Banana chips slicing

The peeled banana will be sliced by slicing machine with the diagonal cutting knife into banana chips, and the machine’s cutting angle is customized. After slicing, the processed banana chips have a smooth surface without mechanical damage. Banana chips slicing machine is regarded as the most advanced circle cutting equipment at present time.
Dimension: 540*820*1060mm
Voltage: 0.75kw
Power: 380v
● The slicing thickness is adjustable. (the thickness is usually 1-2mm)
● The slicing machine is equipped with two free feeding inlets of different sizes and the cutting capacity & type is improved.
● The machine has features of easy operation and high yield.

4. Banana chips blanching

The sliced banana chips then will be blanched for protecting banana color and taste. The blanching time is around 20-30 minutes. Blanching can inactivate the enzyme and the banana will have superior color and flavor.

● The machine is equipped with an automatic temperature control system and it is double insulated around the body.

5. Banana chips dehydrating

Next, the chips need be dehydrated by TS800 dehydrating machine. It is tested that chips after dewatering are easier to be fried. TS800 dehydrating machine adopts a physical method of centrifugal dewatering to remove water on the banana surface.
Model: TS800
Dimension: 1280*820*1000mm
Power: 380v

6. Banana chips frying

Then, the dehydrated chips will be fried by food frying equipment. This machine has various heating methods such as by coal, electricity, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas, etc. Coal heat can be used without limits, the electrical heat is cleaner than coal heat, natural gas is space-saving while liquefied petroleum gas can produce a high power content. People can choose their favorite heating ways among the four types.
Model: DYZ1200Y
Dimension: 2350*1050*1200mm

● The machine is environmentally friendly and won’t produce smoke.
● It is energy-saving, it is examined that this machine can save 50% oil, 40% electricity or coal than the ordinary frying machine.

7. Banana chips deoiling

The fried chips will be through deoiling to remove the excess oil on the banana. The deoiling machine has the same centrifugal principle with dewatering machine, the oil is removed by high rotating in the barrel. Food deoiling can reduce transportation cost and prolong shelf life, the deoiling machine is widely applied in removing oil of banana chips, potato chips, fried peanuts, fried beans, fried meatball, etc, often match with food frying equipment.
Model: TY800
Dimension: 1280*820*1000mm
Power: 380v
Voltage: 2.2kw
● Deoiling time is adjustable by the digital control device.
● Equipped with electromagnetic brakes, safe and high yield.
