Star Wheel Fryer
An effective, gentle handling pellet frying system
The PPM Star Wheel Fryer (SWF) provides gentle handling and uniform frying of many different pellet snacks from rings to screws to 3-dimensional potato/starch based products. With the lowest total oil volume of any pellet fryer on the market, the patented Star Wheel fryer is available in three sizes with outputs from 100-500 kg/hr.
The SWF system has the lowest total oil volume of any pellet fryer on the market with the smallest model containing only 87 liters for a capacity up to 150 kg/h. The low oil volume equates to exceptional turnover rates at just 2-3 hours optimizing product quality and extending shelf-life. And, for added convenience, the oil level of the fryer is automatically controlled.
The SWF system is designed to give you maximum flexibility in the production of top-quality snacks. From rings to more complex 3-dimensional snacks, the SWF easily and efficiently handles a variety of pellet products.
With adjustable frying time from 5-45 seconds and state of the art frying wheel design, each pellet is compartmentalized and frying is precisely controlled. An advanced controller maintains and controls oil temperature.
The system infeed consists of a gentle handling incline elevator to handle the most fragile of products. The fried product passes an oil-drip-off belt prior to the flavoring process. Both feature adjustable speeds optimizing process line performance. And, installation is simple with pre-assembly of all pipes between oil supply tank, level control and fryer.
PPM Technologies realizes the importance of food safety in your process lines. The SWF system is designed with easy operation and cleaning. The unit is easy to disassemble and requires no tools for lifting heavy parts. The exhaust stack lifts off allowing easy access to frying wheel which is lifted via motor-driven lifting system.
