Vacuum fryer for high-sugar snacks
Eliminate the need for an external vacuum chamber while achieving perfect texture and reduced acrylamide levels in high-sugar snacks with this integrated vacuum frying solution.
Controls Oil Temperature and Moisture for Snack Production
The Unitized Vacuum Fryer from Heat and Control offers a unique solution for snack manufacturers and food processing companies. This fryer creates its own internal vacuum, efficiently boiling off product moisture at lower temperatures to produce high-quality snacks from high-sugar products without browning. The integrated centrifuge reduces the finished oil content, ensuring crispier, tastier outputs. Ideal for potato crisps, dried apple rings, and caramelized fruit snacks, the fryer supports continuous high-speed operations vital for snack production. Its PLC-controlled system facilitates seamless integration into existing lines, optimizing energy use by maintaining oil temperatures below 248°F to minimize acrylamide formation. The stainless steel construction provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, meeting food industry standards. The fryer is designed for easy access during cleaning and maintenance, streamlining operations while minimizing downtime. Customizable features and engineering support ensure the Unitized Vacuum Fryer adapts to your production needs.
