One fan asked
me one question, why do you design the automatic gate? He thinks it is not essential.
Let’s just talk about the vacuum fryer gate opening ways to confirm which is
the better way.
There are
two main gate opening ways of vertical vacuum fryer, one is side hung gate, the
other is sliding gate.
What are
the differences between side-hung gate and sliding gate?
1. opening
direction is different.
Side hung
gate is moved from inside to outside horizontally by manpower, just like domestic
door.
Sliding gate
is moved up and down.
2. power
is different
The side
hung gate needs manpower to operate, but sliding gate is moved automatically,
we can control by PLC. The strength is from air cylinder.
Why do we
design sliding gate for vacuum fryer? There are two disadvantages of side hung
gate.
One disadvantage
is, the gate moving route will be deflective after a period time, not in
horizontal level. Opening and closing the gate becomes difficult.
The other
disadvantage is, the sealing material will be aging in different degree. The
force on the sealing material is not uniform because of the opening direction. It
is easy to occurred untight seal.
Adopt sliding
opening gate up and down, could avoid these problems. Do you have other questions
about vacuum fryer? Don’t hesitate to leave message to me.
