Heat and Control - Batch Fryer

• Up to 360 lbs/hr or more

  Using traditional low temperature cooking, our standard models are rated for 180 and 360 finished lbs/hr of hard bite kettle style potato chips. Depending on your product characteristics, output can be more.

• Superior oil quality

  With no heat transfer tubes immersed in the oil, our unique under-pan fired design allows cooking with as little as 4" of oil depth. Low oil volume produces rapid oil turnover for the freshest chips with a long shelf life.

• Oil level control  

  Automatic oil level control continuously compensates for oil carried out of the fryer with finished chips.

• Ready to run

  Complete combustion system is piped and wired, ready for connection to your natural gas line

• Automatic slice stirring

  Optional Chip-Stirr® system stirs slices automatically during cooking and then directs the finished chips to the discharge/drain conveyor. Eliminating the costly, hazardous task of manual stirring, Chip-Stirr prevents slice clusters, allows one operator to monitor multiple fryers, and assures consistent chip quality from batch-to-batch.

• Full PLC control

  For repeatable quality in each batch, a Programmable Logic Controller automatically controls potato feed, frying, stirring, finished chip unloading, and initiation of the next batch.

• Easy cleaning

  Flat bottom stainless steel pan has no heating elements to burn and trap product particles. Screw jack hoist raises the drain conveyor providing complete access for cleaning.

Optional features
