A method and apparatus to impart a random curvature to frying pre-formed snack pieces in a multi-layer fryer through the use of a contoured submerger. The shape of the contours of a contoured submerger imparts a random final curvature to each snack piece as snack pieces pass through a glass transition during frying. The contours are chosen so as to achieve a desired bulk density for the packaged fried snack products. Such method and apparatus are also useful in controlling the amount of change in bulk density or amount of settling of a packaged product during shipping or handling.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil conférant une courbure aléatoire à des rondelles de chips préformées avant leur friture dans une friteuse à plusieurs étages à l'aide d'un submerseur ondulé dont les ondulations confèrent aux chips une courbure aléatoire alors qu'elles passent par la transition vitreuse pendant leur friture. Les ondulations sont choisies de manière à obtenir la densité en vrac désirée pour les chips empaquetées. Le procédé et l'appareil peuvent également servir à moduler la densité en vrac. et à mesurer le tassement des paquets lors du leur transport ou de leur manutention.
