Banana Chips Processing Industry in India

Raw Material Availability
In 2011, India ranked first in production of banana fruit in the worldwide market with annual production of 29.7 millions of tonne which is the 20% of world’s entire bananas production. The variety of plantain called Nendran is the most suitable for chips processing, giving them a natural deep yellow colour. Nendran is still widely used for processing banana chips today. The Dwarf Cavendish is also suitable for making banana chips.

Banana Chips Processing Status in India

Over 90% of bananas produced in India are consumed domestically as fresh fruit. And it is estimated that processing in banana is only to an extent of 2.5% of which about 1.80% is used to process banana chips. The rest is processed into banana puree, panchamritham, banana pulp, banana beer, banana powder and so on.
Market Opportunities 
The snack food market in India is reported to be growing at 7 to 8 % annually. And potato chips are estimated to constitute nearly 85% of total salty snack food market. In Kerala, the traditional banana and cassava chips industry worth around 750 crore, while the potato chips still account for a majority share. In the face of competition from branded potato chips in the market, local banana chips industry has upgraded their product by using attractive packaging and increasing the variety of flavours, in order to attract more consumer to buy it and occupy more market share. 
Banana Slicing Machine
To produce banana chips, slicing is an important process. Different from manual slicing methods, banana slicing machine adopts electric mechanical slicing technique to slice the bananas, having high cutting efficiency with capacity of about 300-600 kg/h. And the thickness of banana slice can be freely adjusted from 1mm-20mm. The machine is compact designed and developed to meet the demands of small-to-medium-sized banana chips enterprises.

The Necessity of Electric Potato Chips Frying Machine

Frying is the most important procedure in potato chips production line. Frying process determines the color, oil content and water content of potato chips.

Temperature Requirement in the Frying Process

Oil temperature that is too high or too low can neither reach the ideal result. If the oil temperature is too low, then the frying time will increase, making the water content of potato chips’ lost slowly, so oil content will increase. High oil temperature can reach crispy effect, but too high temperature will accelerate steatolysis, then the fatty acids that produced will dissolve metal ion, thus making oil become rancid and then shorten its usage period. Besides, too high temperature will seriously affect the color of potato chips. In view of such conditions, you can try our electric potato chips frying machine, of which the temperature of oil and water can be set and controlled in a certain range.

Theory of Electric Potato Chips Frying Machine
Our potato chips frying machine adopts the oil-water mixed technology, which is the most advanced technology in the international market. After mixing, oil and water will automatically be divided into two layers. The upper layer is oil, which is for frying potatoes. Water is located in the under layer, which is used to receive waste residue and then clean it away.

Advantages of Electric Frying Machine
1. Electric potato chips frying machine adopts advanced machine configuration and control system, so it can always maintain good working condition.
2. Electric frying machine adopts advanced oil-water mixed technology. It can filter automatically and keep the oil pure, not only improve the quality of the products, but also prolong shelf life.
3. The function of automatic filtration can greatly prolong the oil’s working life. You don’t have to change oil frequently in the production process. It can save 50% oil.
4. Electric potato chips frying machine employs advanced and efficient heating system, which can help save energy and then save money.
5. The machine can fry many products at the same time. It can fry various products such as potato chips, peanuts and broad beans simultaneously, and there is no taste mixture between each other.
We provide two types of potato chips frying machine. The small manual discharging type is suitable for small food shops, refectories and restaurants. While the large automatic discharging type fits for quantity production companies.

Importance of Potato Chips Dewatering Machine

Nowadays people are paying more and more attention to the fats and calories contained in potato chips. Decreasing the oil content while keep the crispiness at the same time is the proper way to make low calories potato chips. Apart from frying, the dewatering process beforehand is also very important for making low calories potato chips.

Why Dewatering is Necessary for Making Potato Chips?
People have known that dewatering process is between blanching process and frying process, so we know it is very important. If potato chips contain too much water, then the surface of potato chips would blister when frying. The blister would affect the appearance of potato chips and increase frying time, thus increasing cost. It is proved that the less the water content before frying, the lower the oil content of potato chips. So by dewatering process we can reduce oil content and frying time. In this way, the texture of potato chips could also be improved. Besides, dewatering can also maintain the initial color and nutrient of potato chips.

Working Principle of Potato Chips Dewatering Machine
Potato chips dewatering machine adopts centrifugal principle to remove the surface water of potato chips before frying, thus can reduce the frying time and make potato chips crispy and delicious. During drying process, this machine has no damage to the potato and its inner nutrient. Potato chips dewatering machine is made up of electric motor, motor wheel, shock absorber, movable whirling bucket, water outlet, belt roller, electromagnetic brake and tails, etc. The shock absorber can ensure the machine won’t shake during operation. Besides the heavy base can also reduce the possibility of shaking and lower the barycenter, thus can make it more stable. This machine is the most advanced dehydrator for potato chips processing factory at the moment.

What’s the Benefit of Chips Dewatering Machine?
After dewatering, the potato chips being fried can be more healthier. The oil content is lower. Besides the texture is good, and you can also enjoy the crispiness of potato chips. As we all know, potatoes are rich in vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc, which are beneficial for our body. During operation, the dewatering machine won’t destroy the nutrient contained in potato. 
Potato chips dewatering machine is made of high quality stainless steel, and it is sturdy and durable. This machine can be customized.
