Corn product moisture conditioning system
After toasting, tortilla chips can have an inconsistent moisture content which leads to blistering during frying. This can result in chips breaking or filling with oil, creating quality control issues and inefficiencies in production.
Balances moisture content before frying
The Corn Products Conditioner by Heat and Control is designed to equalize moisture content in tortilla chips before they reach the fryer. By conveying chips through an enclosed cabinet, the system creates a warm, humid atmosphere to balance internal and external moisture, reducing the chance of blistering during frying. Available in one, three, and five tier models, this conditioner offers variable conditioning times while requiring minimal floor space. The height-adjustable stainless steel mesh discharge conveyor further minimizes product drop into the fryer. Constructed from stainless steel, the conditioner features large hinged doors and lift-off top covers, ensuring easy and thorough cleaning.
