The given diagram illustrates the various stages involved in the production of potato chips.
Overall, the process comprises several steps, starting with the storage of raw potatoes and ending with their delivery to retailers.
Initially, potatoes are harvested and sorted according to their quality and size. They are then washed in a machine known as a washer, before being sent to a peeler where their skins are removed. After peeling, the potatoes are sliced into thin pieces by a slicing machine.
Once sliced, the potato pieces are blanched using heat to maintain their firmness and then dried in preparation for frying. In the next stage, the dried slices are deep-fried until fully cooked, after which they are seasoned with a variety of spices depending on the desired flavor.
Following seasoning, the chips are packed into bags using automated equipment. Finally, they are stored and prepared for transportation to various retailers for sale.
