PPM Technologies and Key Technology, both Duravant operating companies, introduce their fully-integrated potato chip processing line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Designed for processors managing raw material variability, labor shortages and the coordination demands of high-volume chip production, the line brings together PPM’s frying, seasoning and product handling capabilities with Key’s optical sorting technology into a single, unified solution. From slicing through packaging, this integrated line helps achieve consistent product quality, recover more usable product, reduce labor requirements and offer single-source accountability with global support.<\/p>\n

\u201cPotato chip processing lines that hold up under challenging conditions are built by partners who understand what each stage demands, can anticipate future needs and are committed to making those technologies work as one cohesive unit,\u201d says Daniel Luna, director of processing at PPM Technologies. \u201cPPM and Key have two of the longest histories in the potato chip industry, and their depth of expertise doesn’t just show up at startup \u2013 it\u2019s there through the life of the equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

PPM’s frying technology anchors the line. Processors producing kettle-style chips utilize the BatchWright batch fryer, which provides control over the full frying curve to deliver the texture, color and flavor profiles consumers expect from premium kettle chips. Processors producing conventional potato chips utilize the CookWright continuous fryer, which features customizable heating, belt and filtration configurations to meet each processor\u2019s application needs and goals. Both fryers are equipped with advanced oil filtration to extend oil life and reduce operating costs, along with clean-in-place capability that limits downtime during sanitation.<\/p>\n

After frying, optical sorting is the last opportunity to remove defects and foreign material before product reaches packaging. Combining multi-channel sensor data and multi-wavelength strobing technology,…<\/p>\n
