FPS dryers focus on precise energy and moisture management, removing surface water and internal moisture for high-quality products like French fries. Controlled drying is critical—over-drying the exterior can leave the interior soggy after frying.
To ensure optimal results, FPS employs a multi-zone drying process, carefully regulating each stage based on average dry solids per minute. This gentle, staged drying preserves product quality, texture, and consistency for the final fried product.
Features
Hygienic Design
- Hygienic, fully welded stainless steel enclosure removes all potential harborage points
- Externally mounted motors for blowers and belt drives removes conduit, junction boxes, wiring from the enclosure to enable best in class sanitation
- Coils are vertically mounted with access on both sides for ease of sanitation
- Embedded support structure within the fully welded walls allows for motors and gear boxes to be mounted on the outside of the enclosure – easier, safer maintenance access, extended service life, and improved sanitation
- Slip-resistant fully welded sloped floors allow for effective drainage
Belting Transferability
- Hygienic plastic modular belting provides a non-stick surface for cleaner operation and ease of sanitation
- The plastic modular belt is sprocket driven and does not require side chains that are utilized with metal belt solutions – greatly improving maintenance
- Smaller head roll diameter (15 cm) allows transfers from one section to the next without chutes, eliminating product hang up/stickiness
High Performance Air Flow
- Multi zone dryer solution removes attached water and internal moisture through gentle drying
- With precision control of air velocity across the belt width, product is evenly distributed, resulting in uniform drying from end to end
