Gran Bretaña: So THAT’S how the fun don’t stop! Mesmerizing footage shows how Pringles potato chips are made
Whether you’re using them to make a duck bill or snacking on them at a party, Pringles are a nearly 50-year-old staple of American snack food. But the way they get their shape - and crisp .
The mix is sent by conveyor belt to an auger, which disperses the batch on another belt.
That mix is then pressed into a sheet using four tons of pressure to flatten it out into one long potato sheet.
Then, a rotary cutter punches out oval shapes into the sheet of potato mix.
The scrap dough, which looks like a honeycomb as it is pulled away, is removed and recycled, leaving perfect oval chips on the sheet.
Next, the un-cooked, cut chips head into a fryer.
As they make their way through the fryer, a mold gives each chip a concave shape.
They are given the shape so that they’re easy to stack.
It only takes 11 seconds of frying before they are crisp and make their way into an area for blow drying to remove any excess oil.
They’re then seasoned with whatever flavoring is made for that batch before they’re flipped on to another conveyor belt.
As they fall into neat rows, a worker inspects them before they go onto a belt that shakes them apart to ensure none have stuck together.
They are pushed past scales in order to be portioned for their tube-like containers before they are slid into the packaging.
Finally, guides tap the tubes to knock the chips into position and they’re ready for any party or supermarket that comes their way.
