Energy recovery heat exchanger for fried food production
Harness otherwise wasted energy from your frying process to pre-heat cooking oil or generate hot water while cutting emissions and reducing operational costs.
Recovers and Repurposes Energy from Fryer Emissions
The Energy Recovery Heat Exchanger from Heat and Control seamlessly integrates into continuous fryer lines, addressing the critical need for energy efficiency in snack food production. By condensing steam from fryer and oven exhausts, it generates hot water for processes like blanching and sanitation, significantly lowering production costs. Capable of serving various applications such as potato chips, tortilla chips, and corn products, it operates efficiently by recovering millions of BTUs, thus reducing emissions. Constructed with durability in mind, it ensures easy integration into existing oil management systems and offers consistent performance under continuous operations. The system is optimized for energy savings, contributing to a more sustainable production environment without sacrificing throughput or quality.
