Fried Snack Food Fryer
Continuous Fryers
Designed for high-volume, industrial production where raw
product enters one end and finished snacks exit the other.
- Key
Feature: Non-stop operation with automated conveyor belts (mesh belts) and
integrated oil filtration.
- Common
Uses: Mass-market potato chips, Kurkure, Fryums, and Pani Puri.
- Types:
- Direct
Heat: The burner heats the oil pan directly (common for namkeen).
- External
Heat Exchanger: Oil is circulated through an external heater, preventing
"hot spots" and reducing oil degradation.
- HeatWave®
/ Curtain Fryers: Snacks are cooked by "curtains" of falling
oil rather than full submersion, which uses less oil.
3. Specialized Fryers
- Vacuum
Fryers: Fry at lower temperatures under vacuum pressure. Best for fruit/vegetable
chips (like okra or jackfruit) to preserve color and nutrients while
reducing oil absorption.
- Pellet
Poppers: Specifically for snacks that "expand" instantly when
hitting oil (like wheel-shaped pellets).
