How Do You Drain Fried Food?

Deep-fried foods are typically completely submerged in oil during the frying process, resulting in a high oil content in the finished product. This not only affects the taste but also shortens the shelf life. Effectively removing excess oil after frying is crucial for improving taste and extending shelf life. So, how do you drain fried food?

In industrialized fried food production, centrifugal degreasing machines are the main tools for accomplishing this task. They achieve oil removal not through adsorption, but by utilizing centrifugal force.

Its workflow is simple and efficient:

1. Loading: Place the fried food into the rotating basket inside the oil extractor.

2. High-speed rotation: Start the machine, and the basket begins to rotate at high speed. Under centrifugal force, denser food particles tend to remain in the center of the basket, while less dense oil is ejected.

3. Separation and collection: The ejected oil flows out through the holes in the basket and along the cylinder wall to the oil collection tank at the bottom.

The advantages of using a deoiling machine are:

High efficiency and thoroughness: Centrifugal force can penetrate deep into the tiny crevices of food, maximizing the removal of mechanically attached oil.

Maintaining crispness: The rapid degreasing process also removes a large amount of water vapor, preventing moisture from being trapped in the oil layer and causing the food to soften.

Improved quality: Lower oil content makes food less prone to oxidation and spoilage, extending its shelf life.
