The industrial deep fryer is a vital piece of equipment in food processing. Regular cleaning of the industrial deep fryer machine is essential to ensure consistent frying results, food hygiene and long equipment life. In this article, we will introduce a systematic cleaning procedure using Lonkia's continuous fryers as an example.
Why Is It Important to Clean Industrial Deep Fryers Regularly?
The frying process generates a large amount of ingredient residues, grease and carbonised substances. If not cleaned in a timely manner, these impurities can affect the quality of the oil, resulting in a loss of food flavour, and may also clog the filtration system or even damage the heating tubes. Regular cleaning not only keeps the inside of the industrial fryer clean, but also significantly reduces the failure rate and improves productivity.
Structural Features of Lonkia Industrial Deep Fryer
Lonkia's industrial deep fryer is made of stainless steel with automatic temperature control and filtration system, which is suitable for continuous deep frying of a variety of products such as aubergines, French fries, chicken nuggets and so on. The equipment consists of fryer, conveying system, oil filtering device and oil draining device, etc. The overall structure is compact and easy to dismantle and maintain.
Preparation Before Cleaning
- Switch off the power and heating system and wait for the temperature of the continuous fryer machine to drop to a safe range;
- Open the oil valve and drain the oil from the fryer thoroughly;
- Prepare soft brushes, cleaning cloths and food grade cleaning agents.
Cleaning Steps in Detail
- Disassembling parts: remove the conveyor belt, filter and other removable parts and clean them separately;
- Initial debris removal: use a soft brush to remove grease and impurities from the bottom and inside of the fryer;
- Warm water immersion: add warm water with neutral cleaning agent to the industrial deep fryer and start the agitation system to circulate the cleaning;
- Focus area cleaning: for the heating pipe, oil pump import and export and other parts that are easy to hide dirt, need to focus on brushing;
- Rinsing with clean water: rinse with clean water several times to ensure that there is no detergent residue;
- Drying and air-drying: after drying with a clean cloth, keep the fryer ventilated and dry to prevent rusting.
Cleaning Frequency Recommendations
A complete cleaning is recommended once a day at the end of production; a higher frequency may be appropriate if dealing with high-sugar or high-starch ingredients, such as aubergines or potatoes. It is also recommended to carry out a deep maintenance cleaning once a week, including checking the oil pump and heating system.
