Potato product surface oil removal system
Efficiently remove excess surface oil from fried potato products, enhancing product quality and reducing oil waste while seamlessly integrating into continuous production lines.

Reduces Surface Oil and Recovers Frying Oil
The Oil Sweep® De-oiling System by Heat and Control is engineered specifically for food processing companies and potato product manufacturers, providing a unique solution for diminishing surface oil and optimizing oil recovery. This system employs a cyclone-based recovery mechanism to strip and reclaim frying oil, reducing wastage and improving cost-efficiency. Ideal for applications such as french fries, potato wedges, and various potato co-products, the system ensures high-quality end-products like straight cut fries, curly fries, and hash browns.
Featuring continuous, automated operation, the Oil Sweep® system integrates seamlessly into existing lines, enhancing production flow and adaptability across food, potato processing, snack food production, and frozen food manufacturing industries. Energy efficiency is achieved through advanced oil separation technology, which minimizes waste and contributes to healthier product outcomes. Constructed for durability and hygiene, the system includes automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities, offering low maintenance and easy sanitation. This system’s ability to retrofit into established setups makes it a versatile choice for upgrading and optimizing your existing production infrastructure.
