Automatic centrifuge for oil reduction in batch fried products
Optimize your batch frying process by effectively reducing oil content, enhancing product quality, and minimizing waste with this high-performance centrifuging system.
Efficiently Centrifuges and De-Oils Snacks
The Automatic Centrifuge from Heat and Control is a purpose-built centrifuge for snack food producers aiming to optimize the de-oiling process in batch-fried snack production. This system features a compact vertical design with insulated exterior panels for space and energy efficiency. Batches of just-fried potato chips or hard-bite kettle chips are conveyed into a perforated drum and spun for a preset and adjustable time, reducing oil content while preserving product integrity through gentle acceleration and deceleration. The centrifuge supports integration with one or more batch fryers, enhancing workflow in a food processing line. Its construction ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, and the robust design minimizes product breakage via an internal cone that limits free-fall damage. These features combine to enhance efficiency and product quality, supporting up to 20% energy savings through variable-speed motor optimization. Configurable to meet specific production needs, this equipment is ideal for snack food producers, potato chip manufacturers, and food processing companies seeking reliable and efficient oil reduction solutions.
