Applications
Kuipers equipment allows snack producers to transform raw potatoes into crispy potato chips. Chips or crisps are the top consumed savoury snacks in many countries. This delicious treat comes in many flavours, colours and crunchiness levels.
Kettle style chips differ from natural potato chips in their texture and crunchiness. These snacks are preferred by many although by nutritional composition they are more or less the same as normal potato chips. The only thing that matters is how they are cooked. Kuipers frying system will help you with that.
These are at base potato crisps but in a different shape. They are crunchy and delicious and a great snack alternative for any occasion.
Kuipers has developed a unique energy recovery, oil filtering and odour elimination unit for products containing a lot of moisture. This compact and efficient system can be added to an existing line or integrated within a Kuipers new line. Best applications for this technology would be potato chips, harsh brown style products, French fries and other food which releases a lot of moisture when fried. See brochure for more information.
