The Star Wheel Fryer With Superior Frying Technology

The Star Wheel Fryer With Superior Frying Technology

We are continuously improving and adjusting the functionality. Our focus will always be to improve the frying performance and to simplify the operation and maintenance.

With the lowest total oil volume of any pellet fryer on the market, the SWF is available in three sizes with product output from 100-1000 kg/h. The SWF has a low oil-turnover, which equates to exceptional turnover rate and optimized product quality with long shelf-life.

Rosenqvists SWF provides gentle handling and uniform frying, from 2- to 3-dimensional products. The fryer consists of a rotary wheel that is divided into several compartments. Its design ensures that each pellet gets the same frying time and the compartments special surface treatment make sure that pellets will not stick to the wheel. The frying time is adjustable between 8-40 seconds.

The oil level in the system is automatically controlled. By measuring the oil level automatically, you can always make sure you use the adequate amount of oil. With this set-up, you control your oil consumption and reach best possible oil turnover rate.

The heating of the vegetable oil is made with either direct electrical heating elements placed beneath the frying pan or through an external heat exchanger. Our electrical heating solution is designed with large heat area coils, to ensure low stress on the vegetable oil.

Fryer outlet is designed with a screen to separate excess oil from product. In our complete line setup Rosenqvists De-Oiling Belt is used after the fryer with 2-3 turning points to ensure maximum oil drip off before seasoning, all excess oil is automatically pumped back into oil system.

The telescopic exhaust stack is removable and allow easy access to pan and frying wheel, which is lifted with a motor-driven lift system.

Safety sensors in place controls temperature- and oil level. Furthermore, a safety sensor ensures that fryer hood cannot be opened when infeed conveyor is in place.

The SWF system is designed for easy operation and cleaning, with a built-in CIPfunction. The system is easy to maintain. The installation is also very simple since the system is pre-assembled with piping and cabling already before delivery.
