POTATO CHIPS LINE
Potato Chips Production Line Manufacturer in India
SS Engineering Works manufactures potato chips production lines in Noida. We have been supplying these machines since 2011 to snack producers across India, from small regional units running single shifts to large manufacturers supplying national retail chains. Our potato chips lines cover the full production sequence from raw potato to finished, seasoned chips ready for packaging. Capacity runs from 50 kg/hr for smaller operations up to 500 kg/hr for continuous industrial production.What a Complete Potato Chips Line Includes
A standard potato chips production line from SS Engineering Works includes these stages:- Potato washing and peeling system
- Slicing machine with adjustable thickness settings
- Blanching tank for starch removal and colour control
- De-watering conveyor before frying
- Continuous frying system with temperature control
- De-oiling conveyor with VFD speed control
- Seasoning drum for salt and flavour application
- Cooling conveyor before packaging
- PLC control panel for full line automation
Getting the Frying Stage Right
The fryer is where most chips lines either work well or cause problems. Ours uses a continuous immersion system with oil circulation and a filtration unit that removes starch and potato solids from the oil. This matters because dirty frying oil changes the taste and colour of chips, and most producers do not track oil quality closely enough. Temperature is controlled independently at different zones in the fryer. Potato chips need a specific temperature profile to come out golden without being over-fried at the edges. We have spent years getting this right.Capacity Options
- 50 kg/hr — suitable for a new unit or small regional brand
- 100 kg/hr — most common for growing manufacturers
- 250 kg/hr — for operations running consistent double shifts
- 500 kg/hr — large-scale continuous chips production
Flavours and Variants
The same line can produce plain salted chips, masala chips, cream and onion, and other flavour variants. You change the seasoning drum settings and coating mix. No mechanical changes needed between flavour runs, just cleaning between batches. We can also add a tomato paste or liquid seasoning application system if you are producing variants that need wet coating rather than dry powder.
FULLY AUTOMATIC POTATO CHIPS LINE
The fully automatic potato chips production line takes raw potatoes in at one end and delivers seasoned, finished chips ready for packaging at the other — washing, peeling, slicing, blanching, frying, de-oiling and seasoning all in sequence. No manual transfer between stages.
Capacity is customised to what you actually need. Starting a new chips unit at 50 kg/hr is a different machine configuration than scaling an existing line to 500 kg/hr. We build both, and everything between. Most buyers come to us with a daily production target — we work backward from that to size the right line.
- Full turnkey line — washing to seasoning in one pass
- Adjustable slicer: 1.2 mm to 2.5 mm chip thickness
- Continuous fryer with multi-zone temperature control
- Oil filtration unit — removes starch and potato solids from frying oil
- Seasoning drum handles dry powder and masala coatings
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr or custom
- SS304 on all food-contact surfaces
Runs plain salted, masala, cream and onion and other dry seasoning variants on the same line — switch flavours between batches without mechanical changes. Also see our namkeen frying machine and fryums frying line if you are setting up multiple snack lines on the same floor.
BATCH TYPE POTATO CHIPS LINE
The potato blanching machine is the stage that determines chip colour and texture — get it wrong here and no amount of good frying recovers it. Blanching removes excess surface starch, softens cell structure for even moisture release during frying, and locks the potato’s natural colour so finished chips come out golden rather than grey.
This unit handles that stage with an automatic temperature controller running from ambient up to 100°C. Temperature is set once and held — no manual monitoring needed during the blanching cycle.
- Temperature range: ambient to 100°C, automatic controller
- Construction: SS304 stainless steel throughout
- Colour protection: controlled blanch time preserves natural potato colour, prevents greying in the fryer
- Cell softening: improves moisture evaporation during frying — crispier finish, less oil absorption
- Mobile: universal wheels for repositioning on the production floor
- Multi-product: potato chips, french fries, sweet potato chips, cassava chips, and vegetable blanching
Also used in vegetable and meat processing lines outside snack
manufacturing — the same blanching principle applies wherever you need
colour protection and partial cooking before a frying or freezing stage.
