Hard bite-style potato chips get their desirable extra crunchy texture from the unique oil temperature profile produced by batch fryers. But the limitations of producing such chips in batches of only a few hundred kilograms per hour has previously required processors to install multiple batch fryers.

The Universal Product Cooker (UPC) allows continuous production of over 800 finished kg/h of chips - hard bite, medium and soft textures - plus many other types of chips, pellet and extruded snacks.

UPC is claimed to be the only fryer capable of producing batch-style and traditional potato chips continuously. It also makes chips from corn, plantain, banana, taro and other root crops, multigrain ingredients, plus certain pellet and extruded snacks. UPC can even produce traditional-style potato chips with little or no slice washing.
