ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for separating cut potato strips such as french fries having varying solids content. By the process the cut potato strips are introduced into a starch suspension having a specific gravity intermediate that of the potatoes so that the strips of low solids content rise to the top of the suspension and the high solids strips settle to the lower region of the suspension. The apparatus comprises a tank containing the suspension which tank has a sloping bottom and an upper and lower conveyor. The upper conveyor removes the low solids strips and the lower conveyor removes the heavy solids strips and is equipped with flights that scrape the sloping bottom end wall of the tank to prevent starch accumulation therein.
