How Pringles chips are made, manufacturer
Many gourmets are sure that any chips are thin potato slices fried in preheated fat. In fact, today, completely different technologies can be used to produce the discussed snacks. How Pringles chips are made in modern factories is described below.

Further, she goes under a huge pressing roller. Under high pressure (4 tons!), The mass turns into the thinnest potato leaf.
Future chips are cut out of the resulting base with special oval patterns and rolled out again. Billets on a special conveyor move to a special form in which they become concave. In the process, excess chips are cut off for the chips so that they all fit perfectly in size. Product scraps are reused.
Then the prepared potato ovals are fried in oil for exactly 11 seconds. During this time, they become crispy, a little ruddy, but do not burn.
Almost ready-made chips are sent to the next conveyor, where the factory workers give them the chosen taste with special aromatic mixtures. It remains only to weigh and package the product.
