Typical Specifications

Frying medium

This model utilises thermal oil, offering stable and indirect heating for the frying medium.

Belt width

The '700' in the model name typically indicates a belt width of 700mm, common for medium to high-capacity lines.

Construction material

Units of this type are invariably constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Heating method

Thermal oil systems provide indirect heating, which can offer more stable oil temperatures and extended oil life compared to direct heating.

Features

Commonly includes a hold-down belt for product submersion and sediment removal systems like Teflon infeed for continuous operation.

Typical throughput

Throughput varies significantly by product; however, fryers of this size are designed for industrial-scale production.

Power supply

Industrial fryers typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, with specific voltage and amperage dependent on the heating capacity and ancillary equipment.
