Potato product surface oil removal system
In the frozen potato product industry, maintaining oil quality during frying and reducing surface oil on products before freezing is crucial. Excess surface oil can affect product quality and freezer efficiency, leading to increased maintenance and operational costs.
Remove surface oil, recover and reuse frying oil
The Oil Sweep® De-oiling System from Heat and Control is designed to strip surface oil from fried potato products such as french fries and potato wedges prior to freezing and packing. By utilizing a bank of cyclones, the system separates and recovers the oil, channeling reusable oil back into the fryer. This not only reduces oil waste but also enhances the performance of subsequent defrosting and cleaning cycles. Custom-built for the french fry and potato products industry, the system’s automated CIP (clean-in-place) features and hygienic ductwork ensure easy cleaning and low maintenance. It can also be retrofitted into existing production lines, making it adaptable and efficient for various operations.
