Yam and yam chips

The process of making yam chips at home is very simple. You only need to clean and peel the yam, then cut it into thin chips with a knife. If you want dried yam chips, you can put them in the sun.

If you want to mass-produce yam chips, there are two situations as follows.

If yam chips are for human consumption, the process of making yam chips include cleaning, washing, peeling, chipping, and drying. Henan Jinrui company can supply machines for yam chips production. If capacity is big, a complete and continuous yam production line is needed.

Firstly put raw yams into the feeding hopper, and then the belt conveyor will transfer the yam into the cleaning machine dry sieve. A dry sieve machine is used for the first cleaning process, which can remove outer impurities. Then cleaned yam will go through a paddle washer machine for complete cleaning. A special design of a paddle washer can ensure a perfect washing effect and dirty water will be collected and discharged by certain valves. After washing, yam skins are wet and easy for peeling. Therefore, a yam peeling machine will be installed thereafter. The peeler machine supplied by Henan Jinrui adopts sand rollers for peeling purposes, which is the best peeling solution in the market. After a long time of use, if the sand rollers are damaged, you don’t have to change the whole rollers, just need to change sander papers that stick to stainless steel rollers, which can save running costs. After peeling, the yam will be sliced by a chipping machine. At present, there is no good and energy-economical machine for yam chip drying, so most people dry yam chips with sunlight. After dying, yam chips can be stored for a long time, and dried yam chips can be ground into powder for edible use.

If yam chips are for animal feed. The process of making yam chips is almost the same as above, except that it doesn’t need a peeling process. So the machines used for making yam chips will be a dry sieve, paddle washer, and chipper machine.
