Automatic Batch Fryers

Precision control for every batch

JDM automatic batch fryers give snack producers control over cooking temperature and cook profiles. We build the fryer around your product and frying oil, from canola to tallow.

Automated oil top-off comes standard. Choose a stand-alone fryer or integrate it with preparation, feeding, de-oiling and seasoning equipment.

JD325 Batch Fryer

The JD325 batch fryer offers complete cook profile control.

  • Rapid Processing: A 120-pound (55 kg) batch of potatoes will slice into the fryer in about 40 seconds. A typical batch takes about 7 minutes with average chipping potatoes.
  • High Efficiency: A new exchange tube design increases efficiency by 20%.
  • Oil Longevity: Its low oil volume keeps turnover between 27-29 hours.
  • Smart Design: The JD325 is wash-down ready and features a 12" HMI, along with a retractable hood utilizing a telescoping exhaust sleeve.

Standard features

Automatic stirring

Twin helical stirrers use variable-speed motors to gently agitate chips and reduce doubles. Replaceable Teflon-sleeved tines and an electropolished driveshaft help reduce sticking.

Continuous fines removal

Stainless steel wipers move crumbs from the fryer bottom to an auger and discharge conveyor while the fryer runs.

Oil preservation

The dedicated cold zone uses oil stratification to help control free fatty acid formation and preserve oil quality.

Remote support

Revision AG specifies five years of remote support. The signed project scope and applicable programming, service and travel terms define the support provided. Coordinate remote testing with a qualified customer representative.

Automated oil top-off is standard on JDM fryers. JDM builds heated oil tanks and oil-handling equipment and integrates LAKOS-built filtration systems. Oil blending features are available as an extra-cost option. Tank capacity, oil type, transfer duties and filtration requirements are defined for each project.
