The Automatic Centrifuge is an advanced de-oiling system that uses centrifugal force to efficiently and gently reduce the oil content in batch-fried potato chips and other fried foods. Just-fried batches are conveyed into a perforated drum, where they are rapidly spun for a preset and adjustable time, ensuring consistent oil removal.
Designed to be easy to clean, durable, and energy-efficient, this system is compatible with one or more batch fryers, making it ideal for improving product quality and reducing oil usage in a variety of food products.
Features
- New spin on de-oiling: Batches of just-fried chips are carefully conveyed into a perforated drum and rapidly spun for a preset and adjustable time. Centrifugal force removes oil before chips are discharged to a conveyor for transfer to seasoning and packaging.
- Batch fryer friendly: Designed for individual or multiple batch fryers, two models are available to de-oil up to 45 or 75 pound batches of potato chips. Compact vertical design with insulated exterior panels saves space and energy. Automatic operation Product feed and discharge, temperature, drum acceleration, deceleration and spin time are adjustable and can be automatically managed by a programmable logic controller.
- Reduce breakage: A cone inside the centrifuge drum minimizes free-fall damage to incoming product. Gentle acceleration and deceleration of the drum further prevent product breakage.
- Easy cleaning: Cooking oil drains to a single outlet during operation. Rugged stainless steel construction features large access doors and a clean-in-place spray manifold for connection to your cleaning system.
