Abstract
A fryer with a vessel, that contains a hot fluid-bath with a fluid level, and which includes one or more belts which transport products to be fried through the hot fluid-bath; a submerge belt that hinders the products from floating to the fluid level, and a floating particles removing device. A surface of the belts on which the products are located during transportation in the fryer has a submerged section being submerged in the hot fluid-bath. The submerge belt has a submerged section being submerged in the hot fluid-bath. The floating particle removing device is located vertically above the submerged section of the submerge belt and/or of the submerge section of the surface of the belts.
