Most bananas are either eaten raw or cooked so only a select proportion is processed into a storable product. Because they are tropical fruits, typically they are sun-dried, a method that requires much more time and space than an industrial method. Our high-speed systems produce thousands of pounds per hour of quality plantain and banana snack products. Our experts have considerable experience in the plantain and banana chip industry and help our customers find the right equipment to optimizing food processing efficiencies. Our machines help optimize delivery to the slicer and we offer a variety of cutting systems that can slice the raw product into the chip styles you need. Our processing and packaging equipment handle your plantain and banana product gently, weighs product accurately, and packages product securely, reducing waste and increasing your bottom line.
