Heat and Control AirFry System

Heat and Control has developed the AirFry System (AFS) to help food manufacturers take advantage of new product opportunities in the growing market for air fried foods. The system brings together technologies designed to create lower oil content food products.

The system can be used to create air-fried/oven-fried products with the taste, texture and appearance of fried foods without using traditional (submersion) frying methods. It provides a continuous means to produce a ‘fried-like’ product by applying a controlled volume of topical oil, followed by pressurised high-velocity cooking atmosphere from an impingement oven.

The system uses Spray Dynamics oil application equipment to ensure complete and uniform coverage of the product while keeping oil use to a minimum. This is paired with Heat and Control’s AirForce Impingement Oven, which features uniform airflow and high levels of process parameter adjustment to ensure uniform and fast air fry time. The system works with standard batter and breading application systems.

Users have the option to install a complete new system or retrofit their existing impingement ovens with a spray applicator system.
