FPS Food Process Solutions, a provider of turn-key food processing solutions, and subsidiary GEM Equipment of Oregon, are launching VersaFry as their latest collaborative innovation, specifically targeted to the growing snack and appetizer market. Known as GEM VersaFry, it is the latest innovation in fryer design – engineered for maintenance, safety and durability. With the ability to handle a variety of product shapes, consistencies and textures, the GEM VersaFry can handle poultry, seafood and other high-value products requiring precision frying before further processing.

The GEM VersaFry offers operation and sanitation modes, highlighting attention to detail such as oil quality, fire prevention safety measures and cleanability. Some of the key defining features include:

• PEEK/Teflon Adjustable Infeed Conveyor for smooth transfer and batter setting under high oil temperatures
• Long-Life Main Conveyor designed for easy splicing and reduced contamination risk
• Hood Raise Screw Jack System for full kettle access during sanitation and maintenance
• Oil Recirculation Pump to maintain oil level and temperature consistency
• Dual Crumb Removal with surface skimmer and bottom return belt for extended oil life

Every fryer is built with robustness and longevity as top priorities, to provide customers with the lowest cost of ownership. Combined with FPS’s foothold in key industry food sectors and established service and support network, the GEM VersaFry is already breaking ground in major food processing plants.

“GEM Equipment continues to astound – with their deep engineering expertise and robust workmanship, we are truly collaborative in every sense of the word. This is what it means to offer customers a 'one-stop shop' for their food processing needs,” said Jeffrey Chang, president for FPS Food Process Solutions Corp.
