As the scale of my country's frozen French fries market continues to grow, there are many players, but most of them are local, small and scattered. On the contrary, foreign companies have occupied the vast majority of the market share of the local frozen French fries industry by virtue of their advantage of entering the Chinese market first.
For a long time, my country's potato processing products have mainly focused on dehydrated potatoes and potato chips. Due to the low quality of potatoes and insufficient processing capacity, China's quick-frozen French fries production is very low. my country's potato processing accounts for about 15% of the total output, including starch, dehydrated potatoes, potato chips and quick-frozen French fries (FFF) and other products.
Potato products have never been as popular among consumers as they are today. Major domestic and foreign food companies represented by Aveco, McCain, Keida and PepsiCo have been adding or expanding French fry and potato chip production lines in recent years.
With this round of capacity expansion, a series of new demands and challenges have emerged in the industry. For example, the new production line needs to be able to handle potato raw materials with greater differences in size and quality, and can use the same production line to process a variety of products such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. It is also necessary to reduce processing energy consumption and reduce the waste of raw materials during processing while improving the quality of terminal French fries and potato chips.
For the potato processing industry, a good way to stay competitive is to increase operational efficiency and improve product yields.
When it comes to improving yield, we cannot ignore the potato peeling process, because if the peeling efficiency is not enough, it will lead to a shocking waste of raw materials. Steam peeling is currently the most efficient technical means of peeling, which can reduce the waste of raw materials caused by peeling and bring multiple benefits to the downstream processing links.
To reduce the waste of raw materials, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of peeling. Many processing companies are looking for a flexible and accurate peeling solution that can be applied to different types of potatoes and can peel raw materials with large surface quality differences at a minimum loss rate.
