Title:
PROCESS FOR MAKING A SHAPED SNACK CHIP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003030658
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The process for making a shaped snack chip uses various components to form a chip having depth such as a bowl-shaped tortilla chip. The chips are formed by sheeting into an initial flat shape. The chips are then passed along for shaping by a mold and plunger conveyor (60). Once plunged to the mold shape, the chips are reduced in moisture content by baking and frying. After frying, oil is evacuated from the chips whereafter salt and flavoring is applied, if desired, prior to being packaged.
