COOKING OIL FILTER
Heat and Control introduced the Micron-Pro cooking oil filter, designed by Filtration Automation. Ideal for producing meatballs, batter-breaded foods and other products, the Micron-Pro uses no additives, paper or consumable filter media. Plus, it filters particles of hot oil down to sub-micron size at rates from 65-125 gallons a minute, all while quickly removing fines from the oil, filtering to minimize burning and freeing fatty acid formation. Up to 98% of the oil can be recovered from filtered particles, depending on debris type. Fines are automatically discharged from the filter with no operator intervention. Other features include low-pressure operation, minimal moving parts and no costly centrifuge, bellows or conveyorized screens.

INFRARED ROLLER COOKER
Infrabaker International introduced the Infrabaker Roller Cooker, an infrared cooker that colors, cooks and/or cures a wide range of round-shaped products like sausage links, round hams and salami. This patent-pending roller cooker uses a conveyor that turns the product evenly whilst moving forward, so that the product is hit by the infrared beams on all sides. It also comes equipped with a mechanism to optimize the distance between the infrared emitters and the product on the conveyor.

COOK/COOL VESSELS
Designed for preparing soups, sauces and mashed potatoes, Terlet’s bottom-driven cook/cool vessels feature unique construction. For starters, the motor is placed below the product, eliminating the risk of oil or grease contamination. Secondly, there is no bridge required across the top of the vessel, which eliminates shadow areas inside the vessel, making inspection and cleaning easy. The high-pressure bottom is ideal for sautéing ingredients, and the split-level jacket is good for different batch sizes. It comes in stationary or tiltable versions.
