Apparatus for preparing potato chips. The apparatus has a slicer for the slicing of potatoes, means for conveying sliced potatoes through a heated oil bath and for removal of cooked potato chips from the heated oil bath. The slicer has a knife blade that rotates at the lower end of a hopper for potatoes, the speed of rotation of the knife blade being controlled so that the knife blade is stationary when the temperature of the oil bath is below a predetermined temperature, and the speed of rotation of the knife blade being further controlled so that the speed of rotation increases as the temperature is increased above said predetermined temperature. The slicer preferably has a chute that tapers to an orifice above the slicer blade, with the orifice tapering in the direction of rotation of the slicer blade. The apparatus may also be adapted for use with corn chips or tortilla chips.

L'invention concerne un appareil servant à préparer des chips de pomme de terre. L'appareil comporte une trancheuse servant à trancher des pommes de terre, un dispositif servant à acheminer les pommes de terre tranchées à travers un bain d'huile chauffée et à retirer les chips de pomme de terre cuites du bain d'huile chauffée. La trancheuse comporte une lame de couteau qui tourne à l'extrémité inférieure d'une trémie de pommes de terre, la vitesse de rotation de la lame de couteau étant commandée de telle sorte que la lame est fixe lorsque la température du bain d'huile est inférieure à une température prédéterminée; et la vitesse de rotation de la lame de couteau est en outre commandée de façon à augmenter à mesure que la température dépasse ladite température prédéterminée. La trancheuse comporte de préférence une descente qui rétrécit en direction d'un orifice situé au-dessus de la lame de la trancheuse, l'orifice se rétrécissant en direction de la lame rotative de la trancheuse. L'appareil peut également être adapté pour produire des chips de maïs ou des chips tortilla.
