Extract

Artificially dried potatoes are being marketed in this country at the present time in two grades, known as potato cossettes and potato meal. “Chat” potatoes are first washed in water tanks provided with revolving paddles and are then elevated into a machine that pulps them into pieces about the size of fingers. The resulting cossettes enter the drier directly from the pulper, forming a layer about 4 in deep. The wet material passes on an endless conveyer, consisting of a drying belt of perforated sheet metal, through three zones of temperature. The hot-air current has a temperature of 250–260° F. in the first stage and 180–200° F. in the third. The dried cossettes, which are suitable for feeding to sheep and cattle, may be ground to potato meal for use in the rations of pigs.
