An apparatus (1) for use in heat treatment of for example French fried potatoes (10). This process takes place in a treatment chamber (3) where the product is exposed to intensive heat radiation from a number of quartz tubes (14) while they constantly are turned by means of a rotating driving wheel (15) with a number of carriers (16) placed along the periphery. Humidity, smoke and smell separated from the product during this process are sucked off by means of a ventilator (17) which leads the polluted air through a filter device (4) via a convector (5) between the treatment chamber (3) and the filter device (4). The whole arrangement is built up into a cabinet (2) which on the top and at the bottom is provided with ventilation openings (26, 27) through which secondary air is flowing for cooling the polluted air flowing through the convector (5). Thereby a heat exchange effect is obtained for reducing the sucked off temperature to an acceptable level before the air reaches the filter device (4). The apparatus has a construction which is compact and environmentally compatible and suitable for preparing for example pre-fried potato pieces into ready French fried potatoes with very low contents of fat.
