1.11 Basket Lift Service Procedures
2836 Series Electric fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure uniform
cooking times. Electric fryers can be equipped with "modular" or "bell-crank" basket lifts.
A modular basket lift (illustrated) consists
of a toothed rod to which the basket lift arm
is attached, a reversible-drive gear motor
and a pair of roller-activated microswitches.
The gear motor engages the teeth of the
rods, moving them up or down, depending
upon the motors’ direction. The
microswitches at the upper and lower limits
of movement stop the motor when the
basket is in the full up or full down position.
Timing circuitry in the controller initiates
and stops basket lift operation depending
upon the variables programmed by the
operator. When the product button is
pressed, the timing circuitry activates a coil
in the basket lift relay to supply power to the
lower microswitch. The microswitches stop
the motor at the lift’s upper and lower travel
limits and reverse the direction of current
flow, thus reversing the motor direction.
