I. What is the oil melting function? What is special about the oil melting design of Indel fryers?

The oil melting function is an intelligent preheating system designed for the solid shortening commonly used in commercial fryers. It can gently melt solid oils through pulse heating technology. Indel fryers enter the oil melting phase by default after startup. During this phase, the temperature gradually rises to 85℃. After the oil is completely melted, it switches to high-temperature heating mode. Its core advantage lies in intelligent temperature control, avoiding the localized overheating problems caused by traditional direct heating.

II. What are the main functions of the oil melting function?

Protecting equipment and oil: When solid oil is heated directly at high power, localized high-temperature empty zones can form around the heating tube, potentially damaging the equipment or altering the oil's components. Gentle melting below 85℃ avoids these issues.

Improving operational safety: No manual pre-melting or pouring of oil is required, reducing the risk of contact with hot oil. The dry-burning prevention design further reduces safety hazards.

Ensuring product stability: Uniform oil melting prevents uneven heating of the oil from affecting taste. Combined with subsequent precise temperature control, it leads to more consistent quality of fried food.

Saving operating costs: Pulse heating technology reduces energy consumption and minimizes oil waste and equipment wear, indirectly compressing operational and maintenance expenses.

III. In which catering scenarios is the oil melting function applicable?

Fried Chicken & Burger Shops / Fried Skewer Shops: These stores commonly use solid shortening. No pre-preparation of oil is needed in the morning, allowing for a quick transition to operational status and accommodating peak order demands.

Chain Fast Food Brands: The standardized oil melting process ensures consistent oil status across different stores, contributing to uniform product output across branches.

Bakery & Deli: When making items like Youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks) and fried cakes that require solid oil, the oil melting function can precisely control the melting rhythm of the oil, improving production efficiency.

IV. What are the precautions for using the oil melting function?

Solid oil needs to be pressed tightly into the oil cylinder to ensure that there are no gaps around the heating tube, preventing dry burning and damage to the equipment. No manual intervention is required during the oil melting phase; the equipment will automatically enter the oil melting mode upon activation.
