Henny Penny 16698 Agitateur de friteuse pour le modèle 35310

Henny Penny has functioned as the premier global authority in pressure frying and high-volume kitchen automation since its founding in 1957. Headquartered in Eaton, Ohio, the company operates as a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) entity, a status it has maintained since 2014. Henny Penny serves as the primary infrastructure provider for the world’s most demanding quick-service chains—including KFC, Chick-fil-A, and McDonald’s—defining its technical identity through "The Long View" engineering philosophy, which prioritizes oil-life extension and labor-saving automation over short-term component costs.

The brand's technical identity is anchored in the mastery of Low Oil Volume (LOV) technology and Thermodynamic Pressure Frying. A primary engineering hallmark is the Velocity Series™ PXE-100, which revolutionized high-volume protein production by cooking 8 heads of bone-in chicken with 25% less oil than traditional high-volume fryers. This is achieved through a smaller fry pot design and an automatic filtration logic that cleans the oil after every cook cycle, extending oil life by up to 300% compared to legacy models.

Innovation at Henny Penny in 2026 is concentrated on smartphone-integrated interfaces and "Zero-Waste" oil management. Key technical pillars across the portfolio include:

• F5 Series Touchscreen Logic: The 2026 flagship of the open-fryer category, the F5 features a 7-inch "kitchen-proof" touch-and-swipe interface. This smartphone-like system reduces crew training time by 50% through icon-based navigation and built-in visual help guides, effectively deskilling the complex process of commercial frying.
• Oil Guardian™ and Smart Touch Filtration: An automated "top-off" system that utilizes sensors to monitor oil levels in real-time. It automatically replenishes oil from an onboard reservoir, ensuring that the "sweet spot" of oil quality is never missed and preventing the labor-intensive manual handling of hot oil.
• FlexFusion™ Platinum Series: A high-precision combi-oven platform that utilizes SmartTouch® controls and multi-sensor core probes. This system allows for precise humidity management, enabling a single unit to bake, roast, and steam while reducing product shrinkage by up to 20%.
• Water Detection Software: A critical 2026 safety update that prevents a frypot filled with water (from cleaning) from boiling or pressurizing. The software restricts the unit to a specialized "melt cycle" until it detects that the temperature has safely cleared the boiling point of water (212∘F), protecting both the operator and the equipment.

The product portfolio is strategically categorized by its thermal application and throughput requirements:

• Pressure Fryers (Velocity & Legacy Series): Ranging from the compact PFE-500 (4-head) to the high-output PXE-100 (8-head). These are the industry standard for bone-in chicken, using pressure to seal in natural juices while reducing cook times by up to 50%.
• Open Fryers (F5 & Evolution Elite): Engineered for high-velocity sides and "freezer-to-fryer" items. The Evolution Elite series is recognized for its ability to cook the same volume of food in 40% less oil than standard 50-lb. vats.
• FlexFusion™ Combi Ovens: Multi-functional platforms that replace several pieces of traditional equipment by integrating steam and convection, ideal for diverse menus requiring high-consistency roasting and poaching.
• SmartHold® Holding Cabinets: Utilizing specialized heat and humidity logic to maintain food quality for extended periods, preventing the dehydration of fried products during peak service rushes.
• High-Volume Fryers (320 & 340 Series): The "workhorse" line designed for versatility, featuring wider, shallower vats that maximize surface area for floating items like donuts or onion blossoms.

The strategic value of Henny Penny lies in its "Total Lifecycle" reliability. By maintaining its entire R&D and manufacturing footprint on its 60-acre Eaton Campus, the brand provides a high-yield foundation for global operators who require identical performance in every location. Backed by a massive network of factory-trained distributors and a 7-year fry pot warranty, Henny Penny remains the foundational choice for operations where oil management and throughput are the primary drivers of profitability.
