Industrial air fry system for breaded and non-breaded products

Enhance your production with air frying, offering a healthier alternative to traditional frying while maintaining texture and flavor. Ideal for high-speed continuous operations, this solution seamlessly integrates with existing systems for diverse breaded and non-breaded food products.

Produces “Fried-Like” Foods with Controlled Oil Application

The AirFry System from Heat and Control is an industrial air frying solution that revolutionizes the production of lower oil content foods without compromising on taste or texture. Leveraging the AirForce® Impingement Oven and Spray Dynamics® oil application, this system uses controlled pressurized air to cook a broad range of products, from breaded chicken to alternative meat options.

Engineered for continuous high-speed operations, the AirFry System delivers precise metering of oil with an airless spray applicator, ensuring consistent coating without excessive waste. It supports integration with standard batter and breading systems and can be retrofitted into existing oven set-ups, offering versatility across various food processing lines.

Ideal for producing items such as popcorn shrimp, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks, the system maintains high throughput while utilizing less oil, driving operational efficiency. Constructed with robust materials, it supports rigorous food industry standards and offers options for customization to meet unique processing needs. Energy-efficient operations and reduced oil usage contribute to cost savings and environmental benefits, making it a valuable addition to any food manufacturing process.
