Fruit line 05
Banana & plantain processing line
Banana and plantain become chips, puree, powder, flour, jam, wine, vinegar and canned slices. Both are high in starch and sugar, so for chips the key is controlling browning, oil content and water activity.

FAQ
Questions about the banana and plantain line
How do you make crisp banana chips with little oil?
Slices are cut evenly (thickness adjustable from 1 to 5 mm), pass through the colour protection tank and are vacuum-fried at 80–110 °C, then centrifuged to remove oil and packed under nitrogen. The critical points are browning, oil content and water activity.
Does the line handle green plantain?
Yes. The peeler is suitable for green plantain, and green plantain is used to make flour rich in resistant starch. For dried slices without frying, the heat pump dryer runs at 40–75 °C.
What other products can the line make?
The pulper (interchangeable screen) and homogeniser (20–40 MPa) produce puree for baby food, drinks and bakery; the spray dryer (150–200 °C inlet) produces banana powder. Fermentation tanks make wine and vinegar, and the line also covers jam and canned slices in syrup.
What capacity can I choose?
The banana and plantain line is configured at 1, 3 or 5 t/h, depending on your raw material and production plan. Because the lines are modular, much of the equipment — washing, pulping, heat treatment and packaging — can also run other fruits, so the plant keeps working all year.
How long is delivery, and what is included?
Delivery takes 30–60 days after order confirmation, priced FOB China or CIF your port, with payment by T/T or L/C. The line ships with an initial spare-parts kit, installation is remote or with an engineer at your plant, and the warranty runs 12 months from commissioning.
