Working principleA conveyor belt - depending on application partly Teflon - transports the products through the heated oil. The hold-down conveyorwhich can be automatically adjusted in height, ensures the products remain immersed.A conveyor belt - depending on applicationpartly Teflon - transports the products through the heated oil. The hold-down conveyor which can be automatically adjusted inheight, ensures the products remain immersed. The GEA EasyFry XL has a programmable GEA integrated oil management system witha crosswise scraper belt positioned at 1/3 of the way along the fryer to minimize sediment retention time in the oil and prevent flourblockages in the pipe that leads to the filter. A scraper belt runs along the bottom over the total length of the fryer to take residualsediment 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 andeffective sediment removal.

Working principle

• Dual sediment removal system

• excellent oil flow control

• fully automatic belt height adjustment

PerformanceThe heat exchanger delivers the highest heating capacity in the industry, and guarantees fast and uniform heating. The open design ofthe tubing provides maximum access from all angles, while the electrolytic polished tubes and frame prevent sediment build up. Toincrease the speed of your industrial frying operation as well as guarantee a consistent, high product quality end-product, ourindustrial fryers combine high belt capacity and a high belt speed with uniform oil temperature across full width of the fryer. The oilflow is also in the same direction and product flow, which delivers excellent results in terms of quality and throughput. The high-speedkit 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.

Performance

• Highest heating capacity in the industry

• Electrolitical polished heat exchanger

• No metal to metal contact between belts and frames

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

Output quality

• excellent product orientation

• minimised 'twins'

• high beltloads achievable

• perfect temperature over the length and with of the fryer

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

Return on investmentThere are huge potential savings to gain by integrating sediment removal and oil filtration into fryers. The GEA fryers offer a choice offiltration solutions. To further save costs, our fryers are also extremely energy efficient thanks to innovative design feature likeexcellent kettle insulation, efficient heat transfer and accurate temperature control. The highly efficient heat exchanger optimizesheat 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 exchangertubing optimizes access from all angles, simplifying cleaning and maintenance. The GEA EasyFry XL for medium- to high volumeproduction features the industry’s best sediment removal system.

Return on investment

• Low energy consumtion

• Efficient heat exchanger

• Excellent sediment removal

• Upgradable with an external filter

• Lowest operatoin costs
