FOODesign batch-pro 12 series cookers and fryers for vegetable chips

FOODesign has launched its automated, hot oil batch-pro 12 series of cookers and fryers. The system is suitable for cooking root and other vegetable products, such as potato, carrot, taro, beetroot and parsnip chips.

The batch fryer has heat capacities ranging from 90-272 kg/h and features a high-efficiency burner design, which enables production to be increased while maintaining consistency via precise temperature profiling and quick heat recovery.

The cookers incorporate a continuous oil filtration system to help remove both fine and large particles. For example, during cooking, potato slices take on 23% of the oil, meaning 77% remains after batch frying. The remaining oil is filtered out and blended with fresh oil to return levels to 100%.

The machine’s mechanical components are easily accessible and can be serviced quickly. Available accessories include steam hoods, oil demister units, potato slicing and slice infeed equipment and seasoning machinery.
