Convection recirculating fryer for cooking foods

摘要

A convection recirculating food product fryer with a fry tank with and inlet tube connected to a heat exchanger and an outlet connected to a magnetic pump with an outlet tube to the heat exchanger, the pump having a driving magnet assembly housing an impeller and a driven magnet, with a ceramic shaft extending through the impeller about which the impeller rotates when pumping oil; an electric motor magnetically coupled to the magnetic pump; a burner to heat the oil in the heat exchanger; a controller to control the ignition and running of the burner.

主权项

1. A convection recirculating cooking apparatus, comprising:
a fry tank for receiving a fluid, the fry tank comprising an interior spatial cavity for receiving and holding the fluid; a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the fry tank for heating the fluid to above about 350 degrees Fahrenheit as the fluid passes through the heat exchanger; a magnetic pump operatively connected to the fry tank for pumping the fluid through the heat exchanger; and a filter assembly operatively connected to the fry tank, the filter assembly comprising:
(i) a filter pump for pumping the fluid through the filter assembly; and(ii) a filter mechanism spatially positioned within the interior spatial cavity of the fry tank and operatively connected to the filter pump; wherein the filter mechanism is configured for removing solid matter from the fluid.
