Intelligence meets functionality in latest Valentine launch

Leading Swiss fryer manufacturer, Valentine, has expanded its portfolio of award-winning commercial frying equipment with the launch of a remodelled smart Computer Fryer range.

Developed with precision frying in mind, the range of built-in and freestanding fryers feature the very latest in intelligent technology, designed to constantly check and adjust the cooking conditions. Monitoring oil temperature, the computer fryer uses an exact +1/-1°c tolerance, analysing the data and automatically adjusting the cook times to achieve the perfect results every time.

Four pre-programmed menu buttons per vat, each with a password protected description, time and temperature display, deliver exacting consistency, particularly useful for group and chain sites. An audible alarm indicates when a cook cycle is complete, while an optional automatic basket lift raises cooked foods out of the oil, immediately starting the drain process and preventing overcooking.

Building on the enviable reputation that Valentine equipment has, the Computer Fryers combine meticulous Swiss craftsmanship with a robust, hard-wearing, ergonomic design and innovative technology. Easy to use, the fryers include energy saving features such as a stand-by mode, small cool zone, and fully insulated pans, while labour-saving is enhanced thanks to a dedicated cleaning programme and convenient front-mounted drain valve with security lock. Well thought through details including a dedicated space to store the lid inside the door and angled heating elements to aid cleaning further enhance the user-friendliness of the range.

The Valentine Computer Fryer range starts from a 9-10 litre single tank design with a capacity of 20-26kg/h, through to the largest 25-28 litre EVO 600 model with an impressive capacity of 57-68kg/h. A choice of single or double vat, built-in or freestanding models and the option of pumped filtration, capable of extending oil life by as much as 40% are available throughout the range.

“The models in the new Computer Fryer range represent the pinnacle of the Valentine EVO series. Bringing together more than 60 years of research and development, the portfolio delivers the consistency and quality operators have come to expect from our equipment, with the added precision of intelligence from the latest frying technology.

Ideal for multi-site operations and busy kitchens, the fryers can be pre-programmed with a restaurant’s most common menu items, allowing the operator to simply load the basket, press the corresponding menu button and let the fryer do the rest. Not only does this help to significantly reduce food wastage but it can also enhance speed of service and ultimately customer satisfaction.”

Steve Elliott, Sales Director at Valentine & CuisinEquip

Available in both single and three-phase options, the Valentine Computer Fryers are designed to suit the bespoke needs of the individual kitchen. As with existing models in the EVO series, the Computer Fryers come with a comprehensive three-year parts and labour warranty (twenty years on the pan material) as standard.
