Advanced processing methods and industry changing equipment is helping processors of battered and crumbed fish, and shrimps achieve more yield, efficiency and safety than ever before. Clean, efficient, high-capacity frying is the key to processing the highest quality breaded fish, and the fryer used to cook these products has a dramatic impact on quality of the finished product.
As a single source supplier, Heat and Control has a complete range of industrial processing equipment which helps manufacturers to keep up with latest consumer trends and bring the best processed fish products to market.
SureCoat® Breading Applicator
With over 121 million gluten-free consumers in the world, processors are investing heavily in equipment which will assist them to produce or expand their product range to include gluten-free versions of traditional favorites. The biggest trends in breadings right now are gluten-free and clean label and working with an experienced, food industry supplier is recommended to ensure the quality of one’s new recipe, and achieve the same crispiness and flavour development as traditional breadings.
Heat and Control’s SureCoat Breading Applicator delivers ultimate coverage — with the industry’s hardest working applicator — on all product surfaces. It has the industry’s fastest changeover and cleaning times and is suitable for products like seafood, meat, poultry, vegetables, prepared foods and plant-based products.
SureCoat applicators have a unique design which allows it to uniformly apply flour or batter pre-dust, granular, and non free-flowing breadings and even delicate Japanese-crumb or flake coatings. The breading is quickly transferred using large diameter, adjustable-speed augers, and top and bottom coatings can be adjusted independently; for superior coverage of all product surfaces.
Breaded Products Fryer
The Breaded Products Fryer also provides clean, efficient and high-capacity frying for products such as tempura shrimp, chicken nuggets, bone-in chicken, meat patties, breast fillets, meatballs, egg rolls, coated vegetables, and plant-based products.
This industry favourite is built for efficiency and continuous operation. It significantly reduces system oil volume by eliminating heating elements from the fryer pan — every minute, 100% of system oil volume circulates between the fryer, filter, and external heat exchanger — providing superior oil quality which creates the highest product quality possible.
Incoming oil and product velocities are carefully matched to preserve the product’s coatings and orientation. Gentle-flow oil inlets eliminate high velocity currents and maintain uniform oil flow and temperature, across the width of the pan.
This fryer uses just enough oil to cover your products, so that the total system oil volume is 25-40% less than comparable direct heated fryers. This allows for faster oil turnover and achieves a longer shelf life for your product.
Food processing is a fiercely competitive market and consumer demand for innovative products will continue to grow. Improving one’s recipe or expanding product range can present challenges and the right equipment is needed to bring the best products to market. Heat and Control offers testing and trials on a range of equipment and can help you to optimise your food processing operation.
