To gain a more profound insight into the production system for the production of "home-made" French
fries (UK: chips), please read:
For more than 40 years, we have been supplying machines and
complete production systems for the production of French fries (UK: chips) (Pre-frying).
We specialize in supplying small to medium capacity systems, which are especially interesting for countries with little or no experience in the field of potato processing.
Now, we are able to apply the experience gained when potato processing was still a novelty in continental Western Europe. Mr. Dornow not only witnessed, but also helped shape these developments. These days, he is happy to pass his experience on to those countries that are inexperienced in these fields.
When designing our systems we place special emphasis on preserving the potatoes' natural flavor. The finished products should have "home-made" qualities. Through industrial mass production, those "home-made" characteristics are frequently lost.
The systems described here are capable of performing every
process completely automatically (raw produce reception - peeling - inspection -
cutting - sorting - cooling), except for the frying process itself. Batch fryers
can be fed and emptied by hand, emphasizing the "home-made" character of the
product.
With the recommended method and by using suitable potato brands,
the following can be produced with our plants:
approx. 65, 125, 250, 500, 750 to 1000 kg/h pre-fried French fries (UK: chips)
with a residual moisture content of approx. 65 %.
The low percentage mentioned allows a fast preparation (pre-frying) in the
catering industry.
In addition, a lot more
post-fried portions can be made by the caterer or restaurateur from such
pre-fried produce than from pre-fried French fries (UK: chips) with, for example,
68% or even 73% water content!

Four 'Industry 300'
(6300) batch fryers, manual operation. Pre-fried
French fries (UK: chips) reach a cooling tunnel (6326) (3
levels,
operating with fresh air via a conveyor belt
(3253) running above the four fryers, and are then
dropped directly into boxes for packaging (in packages
of 5 or 10 kg each). - Capacity: approx. 500 kg/h*. |

French fries (UK: chips)
are
removed from batch fryer 'Industry 300' (6300) with a
sifting shovel and placed on the above belt (3253),
then automatically forwarded via cooling
conveyor belt or cooling tunnel to be packaged in
boxes (packages of 5 -10 kg each). The worker on the
photo is taking a look at the French fries. Question:
are
they properly fried? |

| Potatoes
can be fried in various forms! |
In
order to produce the highest quality and also to be
able to judge the quality of competitors, we can on
demand also supply some laboratory equipment with our
systems. Photo:

| Situation
shortly before removal of the French fries (UK: chips), after
approx. 5-7 minutes time of frying (cutting size 11x11
mm). The result: "home-made"
French fries (UK: chips). The
fat/oil (vegetable) does not burn in the deep fat
fryers. It retains its excellent quality.
|
The
fried sticks are thrown
onto the conveyor belt that runs above the deep fat
fryers by
means of special scoops (on the left). They are then fed
automatically into cardboard boxes (containing, e.g. 5
or 10 kg) via a cooling belt. |

*
= The
output data marked *
are
based
on a residual moisture content of approx. 65
% in the pre-fried product. Advantage: fast preparation (post-frying)
in the catering industry is possible as a lot of water has
already been removed from the product through longer
pre-frying.
This is subject to the condition that suitable
varieties of potatoes are used.
The fat/oil does not go bad (it doesn't burn). You only
have to refill it.
