Shoestring Fries are ultra-thin potato sticks with a typical cut size of 2×2 mm or 3×3 mm. Compared with regular frozen fries, they have a smaller diameter and larger surface area, which requires higher precision in raw material selection, cutting, and production line coordination.
 
Production Process Overview:
Raw Material Sorting → Brush Cleaning & Peeling → Cutting Machine → Blanching → Air Drying Line → Continuous Fryer → Vibration Oil Removal → Seasoning Drum / IQF Freezing → Continuous Packaging Machine
 
Henan Joyshine Machienry Co., Ltd.
 
The production line has a capacity range of 100–5000 kg/h, meeting the needs of small-to-medium batch production as well as large-scale manufacturing.
 
Raw Material Sorting
 
High-quality potatoes are the foundation for consistent Shoestring Fries. Joyshine’s production line handles potatoes with high dry matter content and long tuber shapes, ensuring complete fries and low processing loss. Stable raw material supply guarantees uniform texture and appearance in every batch.
 
Brush Cleaning & Peeling
 
Henan Joyshine Machienry Co., Ltd.
 
The cleaning and peeling stage uses a brush peeling machine to efficiently remove dirt and impurities while protecting potato integrity. This step ensures smooth downstream cutting, blanching, and frying, improving overall production stability and consistency.
 
Cutting Machine
 
Cutting is the core step for Shoestring Fries. Joyshine’s cutting machine can produce ultra-thin fries of 2–3 mm diameter, with adjustable sizes according to customer requirements. High-precision blades and a stable feeding system ensure uniform fry shapes and low breakage, providing consistent input for subsequent processes.
 
Blanching
 
Blanching removes excess starch, prevents sticking during frying, inhibits enzyme activity, stabilizes color, and partially sets the fry structure. Automated temperature control ensures uniform quality with minimal manual intervention, improving production line stability.
 
Air Drying Line
 
The air drying line rapidly removes surface moisture, controls oil absorption, and prevents sticking during frying, providing ideal conditions for the continuous fryer.
 
Continuous Frying & Vibration Oil Removal
 
Henan Joyshine Machienry Co., Ltd.
 
The continuous fryer is the key equipment for Shoestring Fries, ensuring even heat distribution and precise oil temperature, suitable for ultra-thin fries with minimal breakage. Vibration oil removal further reduces oil content, producing crispy, golden fries.
 
Seasoning & Freezing (Optional)
 
Shoestring Fries can be processed with seasoning or freezing, depending on customer needs, or both.
 
Seasoning
Fries can pass through a seasoning drum for even coating. Gentle tumbling ensures uniform flavor coverage, and seasoning can be customized according to client requirements.
 
Freezing
For products requiring frozen storage or long-distance transport, fries can be processed through IQF freezing, preserving shape, texture, and extending shelf life, suitable for bulk storage and shipment.
 
Packaging
 
Finally, fries are packed by a continuous packaging machine, maintaining product integrity and quality while improving production efficiency. The fully integrated process ensures uniform shape, golden color, and stable production for every batch of Shoestring Fries.
Factory Direct Supply: Joyshine owns its production line with self-developed core equipment, ensuring stable and reliable quality.
 
Flexible Customization: Cut size, capacity, seasoning, and freezing options can be tailored to client needs.
 
Turnkey Solution: Fully automated from raw material handling to packaging, reducing manual intervention.
 
Reliable Quality: High-precision cutting, continuous frying, and vibration oil removal guarantee uniform, golden, and crispy fries.
