For an industrial-scale 1000 kg/hr French Fries Production Line, you are moving into a high-capacity, fully automated "turnkey" plant. At this scale, the line typically includes everything from raw potato washing to the final freezing (IQF) and high-speed packaging.

2. Technical Specifications & Components

For a 1000 kg/hr finished good output, you usually require about 2,200 kg/hr of raw potato input (accounting for peeling and moisture loss).

A. Cleaning & Preparation

• Washing & Peeling: Large-scale abrasive brush roller system with spiral discharge.
• Picking Conveyor: Manual or optical sorting to remove defective potatoes.
• Cutting Machine: Industrial hydro-cutter or high-speed rotary slicer for uniform strips (6mm to 11mm).

B. Processing

• Blanching Machine: Critical for removing starch and maintaining color. Uses steam or hot water ().
• Vibratory Dewatering: High-frequency vibration to remove surface moisture before frying.
• Continuous Fryer: The "Heart" of the plant. Multi-zone temperature control with an external heat exchanger.

C. Post-Processing & Packing

• IQF Freezing Tunnel: Rapid freezing to to maintain texture and shelf life.
• Multi-head Weigher: 14-head computerized weigher for high-speed bagging (approx. 60–80 packs/min).

4. Key Finished Good Metrics

• Oil Content: Should be maintained between 6% and 12%.
• Recovery Rate: Raw Potato to Finished Good ratio is typically 2.2 : 1.
• Utility Requirement: Total power approx. 150 kW to 300 kW; Steam requirement 1.0 Ton/hr.

Would you like me to help you find contact details for a specific manufacturer in this list, or do you need a breakdown of the floor space (sq. ft.) required for this plant?

2. Power & Energy Consumption

The total power load depends heavily on whether you use electricity or gas/steam for the heating components (Blancher and Fryer).

3. Water & Other Utilities

• Water Consumption: 3 to 5 cubic meters per hour (3,000 to5,000 Liters/hr. This is used primarily for washing, peeling, and the blanching-cooling cycle.
• Oil Capacity: The continuous fryer typically requires an initial fill of 1,200 to 2,000 Liters of frying oil, with continuous topping up as the product absorbs oil (approx. 8–10%).
• Refrigeration (IQF): If producing frozen fries, your IQF tunnel will require a dedicated compressor unit with roughly 150–210 kW of cooling capacity.
