The FEX 500 Fryer with External Horizontal Pipe Heater is a high-efficiency frying system designed for industrial food processing, offering uniform frying and oil circulation for optimal product quality.
Key Features & Functionality:
1. Efficient Oil Circulation and Heating:
- The fryer consists of an elongated trough containing frying oil.
- A wire metal belt conveyor moves the product from one end to the other while a centrifugal pump circulates oil, delivering heat to the product for frying.
- As oil travels through the pan, it cools slightly and is then recycled by the circulation pump, which re-injects it into the pan at the product inlet.
- The oil passes through an external heat exchanger, where it recovers its temperature before re-entering the fryer.
2. External Heating System:
- Heating is provided by an external boiler with a gas burner, whose combustion gases transfer heat to the oil circulating through a tubular coil.
- The combustion gases then exit through a chimney, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
3. Advanced Filtration System:
- The circulating oil passes through a continuous filter to separate coarse particles before entering the circulation pump.
- An optional centrifugal filter can be added for separating smaller particles, ensuring cleaner oil and better frying results.
4. Conveyor System for Product Handling:
- The conveyor system is adaptable, with the option for pallets or conveyor belts, depending on the product being processed.
- The conveyor is mounted on a lifting system that allows it to be raised 50 cm above the trough for easy cleaning.
5. Automatic Oil Level Maintenance:
- The oil level is automatically maintained by a floater, which replenishes the oil as it is consumed.
- The oil inlet temperature is set by the operator and regulated by a thermostat to maintain consistent frying conditions.
Best For:
- Potato chips, snacks, and breaded products
- Fried or cooked food items
- High-volume industrial food processing
