Banana Powder Machine
Banana Powder (Raw or Ripe) in FRY-TECH, the technology has advanced to
focus on high-speed dehydration and "Low-Temperature Grinding" to
preserve the natural nutrients and potassium that bananas are famous for.
Depending on your budget, you can set up a modular line (individual
machines) or a fully automatic industrial plant.
The Production Process
(Stage-by-Stage)
- Cleaning &
Peeling: Bananas are washed in an Ozone Bubble Washer to remove
pesticides. Peeling is done manually or via an Automatic Green Banana
Peeler (especially for raw banana flour).1
- Slicing: A
centrifugal slicer cuts bananas into uniform 1mm to 3mm slices to ensure
even drying.2
- Color Protection
(Blanching): Slices are dipped in a citric acid solution to prevent the
"browning" (oxidation) that makes the powder look dark.3
- Dehydration: * Heat
Pump Dryer: Best for startups. Cooks at 50°C–60°C to keep the color light.
- Continuous
Belt Dryer: For industrial scale (500 kg/hr+).
- Fine Grinding
(Pulverizing): The dried chips are fed into a Water-Cooled Hammer Mill.
The water cooling is critical in 2026—it prevents the powder from getting
sticky or burnt during high-speed grinding.
- Sifting &
Packing: A vibratory sifter ensures a fine 100-200 mesh powder.
Technical Tip for Banana Powder
Machine:
Mesh Size Matters: For baby food or bakery use, you need a very fine
powder (100+ mesh). If you use a standard masala grinder, the banana powder
will be too coarse and "sandy." Always look for a Pulverizer with a
Cyclone Separator to get the light, fluffy texture required for export markets.
