What it is about

Few products face expectations as high as French fries. Margins depend on consistent quality in 24/7 operation. And that depends on components that are easy to operate and clean in everyday shift work.

The screw blancher keeps the residence time constant via the rotational speed. Every piece spends the same time in the bath at the same temperature – the difference between a good batch and a fluctuating one.

Whether you start with 1 to 1.5 t/h or build an industrial line with 60 t/h of raw product (30 t/h finished) straight away: the architecture stays the same. Expansion stages change the size of the components, not the plant concept. You will not have to re-plan later.

Why this line

Three points that count in operation.

Advantage 01

High-quality components

Branded drives and food-grade stainless steel – service life rather than lowest purchase price.

Advantage 02

Designed for 24/7 operation

Seven days of continuous load, designed for cleaning during run-out.

Advantage 03

Low operating costs

Oil filtration, heat recovery and water recirculation reduce consumption costs.

Core components

The machines the line depends on.

MONSUN 2.0 steam peeler

  • minimal peeling losses at high capacity
  • double-walled vessel separates condensate and product
  • very good, fast steam distribution
  • shorter peeling times
  • optimised steam exhaust valves

Continuous fryer

  • output from 500 to 2,000 kg/h
  • optimised flow pattern of the frying oil
  • automatic height adjustment via separate drives
  • even transport by paddles
  • improved acrylamide level thanks to targeted frying temperature
  • longer oil life, lower energy input
