French fries are the most widely made recipe using potatoes. Fries are served individually as well as sides with a number of food dishes. Well preparation of French fries involves a complicated process of cutting potatoes into rectangular stick shaped fries before frying.
This task if done manually, requires a lot of human effort and time. When using a semi-automatic machine too requires human strength to push the lever for every potato cutting. Considering the huge quantity of fries required in restaurants, food outlets, mega kitchens etc. we need a mechanism that requires least human effort, provides consistent output on demand and is very easy to use.
Well we here fulfil this requirement using a dual side French fries maker machine. This machine uses a scotch yoke mechanism to achieve dual side potato cutting. The system makes use of an AC motor mounted with a reduction gearbox to achieve the power needed for cutting.
This gearbox shaft is now mounted with a handle to power a scoth yoke piston in horizontal direction motion. This way we can utilize the motor power consumed in both direction for double speed cutting. The Pistons are attached with a pusher head with rectangular cubes pushing out through the cutting mesh.
The motor movement is transferred through the mechanism to force the potatoes through the cutting blade mesh using the pusher head. This allows for parallel potato cutting on both sides of the machine using scotch yoke mechanism.
