Heat and Control has released a new batter applicator and multi-zone fryer system that can churn out over 16,000kg per hour of crispy batter-coated french fries.
The batter applicator has been designed to apply a clear coating that gives fries a crisp texture. The fries are submerged in a pool of premixed batter and passage through two batter curtains to ensure uniform coverage.
Heat and Control builds french fry and formed potato product fryer systems. Its latest offering includes a chilled applicator’s batter tank and drip pan to maintain batter consistency and reduce cleaning requirements, and the outside-return conveyor belt can be raised clear of the pan to simplify cleaning.
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 have been 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, while unitised construction provides a stable pan structure that resists thermal deformity.
