Our yam chips production line is designed for industrial-scale manufacturing, transforming fresh yams into crispy, deep-fried chips. The integrated yam chips production line combines washing, peeling, slicing, rinsing, frying, de-oiling, and packaging into a continuous, automated process. With production capacities ranging from 100 kg/h to 2,000 kg/h, the system meets the needs of operations ranging from small-scale to large-scale industrial facilities. Additionally, we offer customized processing solutions tailored to the specific characteristics of different yam varieties—such as moisture content, starch levels, and fibrous structure.
 

Main processing steps for yam chips:

1. Washing and Peeling
The surface of fresh yam is typically covered with soil, impurities, and microorganisms. The yam chips production line employs a brush washer combined with a high-pressure spray system to thoroughly clean the yams, while utilizing the friction between the brushes and the yams to remove the skin.
2. Slicing
After peeling, the yam is processed into uniform, thin slices using an automatic slicing machine. The slicer utilizes food-grade stainless steel blades, and the slice thickness is adjustable to meet varying customer specifications. Uniform thickness is crucial for ensuring consistent heat distribution during frying and a uniform level of crispiness in the final product.
3. Rinsing
Starch is released during the slicing process; if left untreated, this can cause the slices to stick together and adversely affect the frying results.
Using a washing tank or rinsing equipment to remove excess surface starch yields cleaner yam slices, which helps achieve a crisper texture and better color during subsequent frying.
4. Frying
The prepared yam slices enter a continuous fryer for high-temperature frying. The yam chips making machine automatically controls oil temperature and frying time, ensuring uniform heating. The continuous frying equipment maintains stable oil circulation, allowing the yam slices to achieve an ideal, uniformly golden and crispy state while enhancing production efficiency and consistency.
5. De-oiling
After frying, the product enters the de-oiling system, where excess oil is removed using a de-oiling machine; proper de-oiling enhances the crisp texture of the yam chips.
6. Packaging
The packaging system can be integrated with multi-head weighers, vertical packaging machines, nitrogen-filling units, and coding equipment to achieve efficient, automated packaging.
