- Typical frying area dimensions
- For this class of equipment, frying areas commonly range from 1,000mm to 6,000mm in length and 400mm to 1,200mm in width.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on heating element size.
- Heating method
- Heating is commonly achieved via electric elements, gas burners (direct or indirect), or thermal oil systems.
- Throughput
- Throughput for in-line fryers is highly variable, typically measured in kg/hr and dependent on product type, fry time, and frying area.
- Material construction
- Components in contact with food and oil are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316).
- Oil filtration
- Many industrial fryers incorporate continuous oil filtration systems to maintain oil quality and extend its lifespan.
- Temperature control
- Precise temperature control systems are standard, often with PID controllers, to ensure consistent product quality.
