Cassava, Plantain and Banana Slicer

Description:

Cassava, plantain and banana wafers are a popular snack eaten world over. Banana / plantain wafers are made by cutting plantain / bananas into thin slices. The slices are then fried in cooking oil. Excess oil is extracted and fried banana wafers are seasoned with salt and other spices as per the requirement and then packed in pouches using suitable packing machine. This professional banana / plantain wafer machines are fabricated from non corrosive materials. The machine with rotated head and base foundation, in this machine plain wafer like a longitudinal or round can be cutting on this machine. Feeding is done manual in our banana wafer machines.

 

The manufacturing process of batch type cassava, plantain and banana chips, crisp or wafer making machines

Firm plantain and banana are washed, peeled manually and sliced. cassava, plantain and banana slicing is done by Jas cassava, plantain and banana wafer (chips) machines have been manufactured with the latest technology. There is a mini machine that does this manually. It has a stationary blade on a solid platform with little opening just under the tip of the cutting edge through which sliced cassava, plantain and banana are collected. The peeled cassava, plantain and banana is move back and forth on the blade with relative force. The blade is set to cut at predetermined thickness usually from 1 mm-6 mm. Due to auto pressure system very easy to use, without pulley belts and no fear for heat while frying, you can set thickness of wafer, chips , crisp as you need thick or thin. Just one unskilled labor has to keep feeding peeled banana by using both hands one after another end chips falls directly into frying vessel or brine water. The bananas thus prepared are then dipped in brine water to avoid oxidation. Sometimes turmeric powder is also used for coloring the banana chips or to improve color. The cassava, plantain and banana chips are fried in vegetable oil by Jas batch type fryer and cooled down to the room temperature. These wafers are then packed in polyethylene bags of suitable gauge and size to prevent spoilage.

Hydro (DE-Watering/DE-Oiling Machine)

Description of Centrifugal Dryer ( Hydro Extractor)

Centrifugal dryer used to remove excess oil/water from namkeens, potato and banana chips. It has a rotating basket in which the product which has to be dried is placed, after a spin for few minutes the product is dried, only the surface water/oil is removed from this machine product is not fully dried.

 

Operating principle of centrifugal hydro extractor (centrifuges)

Washed potato / banana or fried namkeen poured into the drum of centrifuge hydro extractor from top, the inner stainless steel perforated round holes screen removable drum rotates at the high speed. Water / oil will remove from potato / banana or namkeen by centrifuge hydro extractor. Detach the drum and remove semi dry material from drum as per our standard supply, but now due to tilting type centrifugal hydro extractor no need to remove rotated drum just push the lever and tilt the drum thus dried material came out.(tilting up to 180° ) the centrifuge hydro extractor drum rotated by suitable electric motor

 

Uses of Centrifugal Dryer ( Hydro Extractor)

Centrifuge hydro extractor is also most suitable for extracting oil from sev, ganthia, papadi, fulvadi, chevada, farshan, namkeen, fryames, bhujia, any fried items or extracting water from potato, banana, plantain or cassava wafers.

Rectangular Fryer

Description of Rectangular Fryer

Koyka group offers two types of rectangular batch fryer with tilting system. Direct Heat Type rectangular batch fryer Indirect heat type rectangular batch fryer Precisely engineered our rectangular batch fryer reflects the perfection in terms of quality and innovation. Our passion to develop high quality manufacturing machines is apparently visible in these machines, which have earned wide appreciation from our customers for their longevity and convenient operating. These rectangular batch fryers are offered by us at industry leading prices.

 

Rectangular batch type frying system Direct heat

Direct fryers are those in which the cooking oil is heated by an internal source in the fryer pan. The rectangular fryer is product in the intermediate range between the batch type and continuous fryers. The unique feature of this fryer is its tilting system that enables unloading of products in a single stroke auto ignition burner thus automated temperature control that provide better and consistent product quality and saving in fuel and oil. This fryer is best suited for low bulk density products such as corn flakes, rice flakes, kurkure (nicknack), pellets, onion flakes, potato, banana chips etc.

 

Rectangular batch type frying system (indirect heating)

Rectangular fryer is fabricated in stainless steel body having pan is mounted on a stainless steel body. The pan is having multiple opening for oil inlet from one side and outlet from the other side, the flow of oil is regulated by an oil circulating pump. The heated oil in the pan is coming from the heat exchanger and going out into the bucket type filter from the side of the pan. The pan is properly insulated from the bottom to avoid heat loss. Continuous bucket type filters for filtering the edible oil continuously. The frying system is connected with digital temperature controller and control panel. The unique feature of this fryer is its tilting system that enables unloading of products in a single stroke after frying for uniform and consistent product quality.
