ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing and agitating objects to be treated in a liquid is described in terms of the use of the apparatus in the processing of potato chips in cooking oil. The apparatus comprises an automated kettle rake (100) for use in the processing of potato chips or other objects (101) in a kettle (102) filled with cooking oil or other desired liquid (103), involving an agitation manifold (104) movably mounted above the kettle (102) and a dispersal manifold (106) positioned inside the kettle (102). The agitation manifold (104) disperses the chips or other objects by injecting fluid through at least one nozzle onto the liquid in the kettle (102) while passing over the length of the kettle (102). Optionally, the cooked chips or other objects may be swept onto a removal conveyor (110) after processing is completed.
