Koppens BRN4500/700 Fryer

• Used in large-scale food production for frying various coated and uncoated products.
• Suitable for processing poultry, fish, vegetable products, and prepared meals.
• Often integrated into automated production lines for continuous frying operations.
• Utilised in facilities requiring consistent product quality and high throughput.

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial fryer, throughput can range significantly based on product and fry time, often processing hundreds of kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a three-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with substantial power draw for heating elements and motors.

Heating method

This model utilises thermal oil heating, which provides indirect and even heat distribution for consistent frying results.

Belt width

The 700mm wide belt is a common industrial standard, suitable for a range of product sizes and volumes.

Construction material

All stainless steel construction is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Features

Electric hoist, hold down belt, and sediment Teflon are common features designed to improve operational efficiency and product quality.

Footprint

With a 4500mm length, this is a substantial piece of equipment requiring significant floor space in a production facility.

• What are the benefits of thermal oil heating in a fryer?

  Thermal oil heating provides indirect heat, leading to more stable oil temperatures, reduced oil degradation, and a more consistent product quality compared to direct heating methods.

Used commercial fryers are generally regarded as reliable investments for food service operations. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent temperature control. When purchasing used equipment, inspections should focus on heating elements, thermostats, and tank integrity, as these components experience significant wear. Well-maintained fryers retain strong performance capabilities. Industry sentiment recognises that proper maintenance records and evidence of descaling are key indicators of longevity and safe operation in food preparation environments.
