GEA EasyFry XL

GEA EasyFry XL

Working principle
A conveyor belt - depending on application partly Teflon - transports the products through the heated oil. The hold-down conveyor which can be automatically adjusted in height, ensures the products remain immersed. A conveyor belt - depending on application partly Teflon - transports the products through the heated oil. The hold-down conveyor which can be automatically adjusted in height, ensures the products remain immersed. The GEA EasyFry XL has a programmable GEA integrated oil management system with a crosswise scraper belt positioned at 1/3 of the way along the fryer to minimize sediment retention time in the oil and prevent flour blockages in the pipe that leads to the filter. A scraper belt runs along the bottom over the total length of the fryer to take residual sediment to the infeed end and remove it sideways using a scraper belt. A built-in slotted screen filter removes floating (surface) sediment out of the fryer sideways. The internal oil circulation is controllable to ensure optimum temperature distribution and effective sediment removal.

• Dual sediment removal system
• Excellent oil flow control
• Fully automatic belt height adjustment

Performance
The heat exchanger delivers the highest heating capacity in the industry, and guarantees fast and uniform heating. The open design of the tubing provides maximum access from all angles, while the electrolytic polished tubes and frame prevent sediment build up. To increase the speed of your industrial frying operation as well as guarantee a consistent, high product quality end-product, our industrial fryers combine high belt capacity and a high belt speed with uniform oil temperature across full width of the fryer. The oil flow is also in the same direction and product flow, which delivers excellent results in terms of quality and throughput. The high-speed kit increases capacity and at least doubles the lifetime of a conveyor belt. Robust belt supports and teflon inserts reduce metal-to-metal contact, especially at high belt speeds.
 
• Highest heating capacity in the industry
• Electrolitical polished heat exchanger
• No metal to metal contact between belts and frames

Output quality
The combination of adjustable oil flow and an adjustable belt height enables our fryers to maintain excellent product orientation, thus minimizing ‘twins’ (where two products stick together). It also delivers consistent product quality even with very high belt loads as the products remain evenly distributed, don’t touch each other and are not pushed around by the oil flow. And this approach also ensures that the oil temperature is virtually constant along the full length of the fryer.

• Excellent product orientation
• Minimized 'twins'
• High belt loads achievable
• Perfect temperature over the length and with of the fryer

Flexibility
The GEA EasyFry XL is a modular fryer available in 9 & 10 meters length, and in widths of 650 and 1050 mm. Each configuration is available with a choice of options. As modular systems, the fryers facilitate cost-effective plug-and play installation and commissioning. This also means tailor-made configurations can be easily put together with a relatively low initial investment. The fryers are easy to clean and maintain as well as safe to operate. Easy operation and extremely short change over time are other considerations in the design of GEA fryers. Designed to meet the highest safety standard, our fryers have shown exceptional reliability over the last 40 years.

Return on investment
There are huge potential savings to gain by integrating sediment removal and oil filtration into fryers. The GEA fryers offer a choice of filtration solutions. To further save costs, our fryers are also extremely energy efficient thanks to innovative design feature like excellent kettle insulation, efficient heat transfer and accurate temperature control. The highly efficient heat exchanger optimizes heat transfer to the oil, enabling a lower thermal oil temperature and therefore lower boiler operating costs. The open sanitary design, with a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system for easy cleaning also contributes to lower operating costs. The open design of heat exchanger tubing optimizes access from all angles, simplifying cleaning and maintenance. The GEA EasyFry XL for medium- to high volume production features the industry’s best sediment removal system.

• Low energy consumption
• Efficient heat exchanger
• Excellent sediment removal
• Upgradable with an external filter
• Lowest operation costs

Hygiene
The automatic cleaning position ensures maximum access for inspection and cleaning. The fryer features a programmable recirculating Clean-In Place (CIP) system, and its hygienic design with sloped surfaces ensures minimal dirt traps.

• Electrolitically polished heat exchanger
• Cleaning position for maximum accessibility
• Optional fully programmable CIP system

Safety
The fryers are easy to clean and maintain as well as safe to operate. Optimum user safety by water spray above sediment trolleys and water seal alongside the machine. Provisions for fire extinguish system. Customer to contract with a qualified fire suppression company to supply install and maintain a fire suppression system that meets applicable national, state, provincial or local codes and the requirements of customer’s insurer.

• Programmable water spray above sediment trolleys
• Maximum attention to safe operation
• Provisions for fire extinguish system

Controls
To ensure consistent results and optimal process control, the GEA Recipe control includes frying time, frying temperature, oil flow circulation, conveyor height, history, oil level control and oil management.

• PLC controlled
• Full color touch screen
