2. Key "Banana-Specific" Technical Features

• Integrated Slicing System: Most automatic banana fryers have a slicer mounted directly above the oil. This is crucial because banana slices are sticky; dropping them straight into hot oil "shocks" the surface, preventing them from clumping together.
• Automatic Agitator/Stirrer: Since banana slices tend to overlap and stick, an automatic stirring arm or "paddle wheel" gently separates the chips during the first 30 seconds of frying.
• Dual-Belt Submersion: In continuous lines, a top "hold-down" belt keeps the buoyant chips submerged, ensuring the edges don't curl excessively and the color remains uniform.
• Advanced Oil Filtration: Bananas release starch and sugars that can quickly blacken oil. These machines feature continuous scrapers and vacuum paper filters to remove sediments instantly.

3. The Fully Automatic Production Line

A complete "Plug-and-Play" banana chips includes:

1. Peeling Machine: Mechanical peelers that handle green/unripe bananas.
2. Continuous Slicer: Cuts round, oval, or "patta" (long) shapes.
3. The Fryer: Usually Thermic Fluid Heated for 24/7 temperature stability.
4. Vibratory De-Oiler: Shakes off surface oil using high-frequency vibration.
5. Cooling Conveyor: Reduces temperature to ambient for immediate seasoning.
6. Flavoring Drum: An automatic coating pan for salt, pepper, or chili.
