CookWright Continuous Frying System

The CookWright is a continuous fryer for high-throughput production. It can be configured with different conveyor belt styles to handle both sinking and floating products, and offers a range of heating options chosen to suit the application and the plant. Sensors monitor and control oil level and temperature and respond quickly to changes in product load. Multi-stage filtration reduces oil degradation for a better-looking, higher-quality finished product.

Ideal applications

Appetisers and prepared foods, corn-based snacks, extruded snacks, nuts and seeds, pellets, pita chips, plantain and banana chips, pork rinds, potato chips.

Temperature control

• Automatic temperature adjustment using thermal probes for consistent frying results
• Continuous oil circulation in the fryer keeps frying temperature consistent and responds quickly to changes in product load
• Optional multi-zone heating for different product profiles

Oil maintenance

• Centrifugal pre-filter removes fines down to 75 microns
• Pressure filter removes fines down to 5–10 microns
• Continuous sediment removal with a belt conveyor and discharge auger extracts sunken fines inside the fryer
• Demister captures oil at the fryer stack, extending fryer life and helping meet environmental regulations

System management

• Automatic regulation of oil level, temperature settings, belt speeds and CIP functions
• Touchscreen HMI with real-time information and interactive visuals
• Data export via an Allen-Bradley PLC
• E-stop switch for immediate shutdown and system reset
• Alarm light tower for operating status and emergency warnings

PPM application engineers support product development and testing, and service teams provide installation assistance, commissioning and on-site training.
