Batch Type Frying Machine (Thermal Fluid Base)
Thermal Fluid Base
Batch Fryer
Unlike traditional
fryers where a flame hits the pan, here a separate "Thermic Fluid
Heater" (Boiler) heats a special mineral oil to0200°C which then circulates through a heat exchanger submerged in your cooking oil.3

2. The Vibro
De-Oiler (Vibratory Screen)
Once the batch is
lifted from the fryer, it drops onto the Vibro Screen. This is the bridge
between frying and flavoring.
- Function: It uses high-frequency,
low-amplitude vibrations to "shake off" excess surface oil from
the namkeen or chips.
- Oil Recovery: The recovered oil is
collected in a tray and can be pumped back into the fryer, saving costs.
- Cooling: It partially cools the product so
that the spices in the next stage don't "burn" or clump due to
excessive heat.
3. Flavoring Drum
(Seasoning System)
The de-oiled
product moves into the Flavoring Drum (also known as a Coating Pan or Seasoning
Drum).
- Continuous Rotation: The drum is tilted
and rotates slowly to toss the snacks.
- Spice Application: A screw-type powder
feeder or a liquid spray system applies the masala uniformly.
- Internal Flights: Specially designed
baffles (fins) inside the drum ensure that every piece is coated without
breakage.

5. Key Advantages
of this Integrated Line
- Uniformity: Every batch has the exact same
color, crunch, and spice level.
- Labor Saving: The product moves
automatically from the fryer to the flavoring drum, reducing the need for
manual handling.
- Fuel Efficiency: A 3-pass thermal fluid
heater can save up to 25% in fuel compared to direct-fired diesel fryers.
- Hygienic: The indirect heating eliminates smoke and carbon soot from the production area.
