Industrial batch fryers — types and applications

In a batch fryer, a defined quantity of product is loaded into an oil bath, fried for a set time at a set temperature, and discharged before the next batch is loaded. Batch fryers are used in: food service operations (restaurants, canteens, catering) where a variety of products are fried in sequence; smaller food manufacturing operations where production volumes or product variety do not justify the capital investment in continuous fryers; research and development and product trials (small-scale batch fryers allow oil temperature control and frying time control for recipe development); and specialist applications such as pressure frying. Industrial batch fryer types include: open-vessel tilting batch fryers (a stainless steel oil bath with internal immersion heater or external jacket heating; product is loaded in a frying basket, lowered into the oil, and lifted after the frying cycle; the vessel tilts for oil drainage and cleaning); pressure fryers (frying under positive pressure at temperatures above 100°C — used for chicken portions to reduce frying time and retain moisture); and wok-type continuous stir-fry systems (Chinese-style cooking at scale).
