Heat and Control batter applicator and multizone fryer system

Click2Contact

Heat and Control’s batter applicator and multizone fryer system can process more than 16,000 kg/h of batter-coated French fries.

The batter applicator applies a clear coating that gives fries a crisp texture and long service life. Submersion in a pool of premixed batter and passage through two batter curtains ensures uniform coverage.

The applicator’s batter tank and drip pan are chilled to maintain batter consistency and reduce cleaning requirements. The outside-return conveyor belt can be raised clear of the pan to simplify cleaning, and the entire applicator system slides aside for sanitation, or when uncoated product is run.

Each of the fryer’s two independent stages has three oil temperature zones for precise temperature control and rapid fines removal. Oil inlets and outlets are designed to deliver uniform side-to-side oil-to-product velocity and Delta-T.

The outside-return conveyor belt reduces oil volume in the fryer. Unitised construction provides a stable pan structure that resists thermal deformity.

Oil filters, pumps, the steam heat exchanger, clean-in-place components and piping are pre-assembled on a compact fryer support module to reduce installation time and maintenance costs. The complete system and all batter-mixing, coating, cooking and cleaning functions are controlled from one PLC touch screen.

Oil mist eliminators and heat recovery systems are available to remove oil mist and utilise otherwise wasted heat from fryer stack emissions.
