Laboratory fryer for food product development and small runs
Ideal for perfecting culinary creations, this fryer facilitates precise cooking trials, enabling product developers to refine recipes with consistent results in small batch processing.
Replicates Full-Scale Frying Processes
The Stein FA Series from JBT is an electric, directly heated, oil immersion fryer specifically designed for pilot and laboratory environments. This conveyorized fryer excels in replicating large-scale frying processes, enhancing product development for commissaries, restaurant chains, and mass feeding facilities. Featuring five longitudinally mounted electric heated immersion tubes, it ensures consistent oil temperature across the frying zone. The FA Series accommodates various product heights with an adjustable top submerger hold down conveyor, making it versatile for frying and pre-frying an array of coated and uncoated foods, including tempura shrimp, breaded chicken nuggets, and fried vegetable spring rolls. With a usable belt width of 14 inches and a frying length of four feet, it supports efficient small production runs. The system includes an on-board oil storage tank, circulation pump, and manual sediment filter for maintaining oil quality and simplifying cleaning operations. Available with optional tempura conveyor modifications and a 24-inch discharge conveyor, this equipment supports customization for specific processing needs.
