Fully Automatic Panipuri Fryer Machine
Fully Automatic Wheat-Based Snack Line, fully-automatic-panipuri-fryer-machine commonly used
for products like Pani Puri (Gol Gappa), wheat chips, or papad-style
snacks. Unlike potato chips, this line relies on dough rheology, sheeting, and
fermentation (proofing).
1. Raw Material Handling & Dough Preparation
- Raw
Wheat Flour Hopper & Elevator: Automatically transfers bulk flour
to the mixer to prevent manual lifting and dust contamination.
- Flour
Mixer (Blender Type):
- Mechanism:
Uses a horizontal screw (ribbon blender style) for intensive mixing of
flour, water, and additives.
- Dimensions:
700 Dia x 1500 Length. This volume is sized to provide a consistent
buffer for the sheeter.
2. Cutting & Sheeting Machine (The
"Forming" Stage)
This is the most critical part for texture and expansion.
- Multi-Stage
Rolling: The dough passes through six rollers. Gradual
reduction (from thick dough to 0.51.0mm is vital. If you reduce thickness
too quickly, the gluten network breaks, and the chips won't puff (expand)
during frying.
- Components:
* Stainless Steel (SS) Rollers: For hygiene and precision.
- Rubber/Teflon
Rollers: To prevent sticking.
- Teflon
Cutting Die: Custom-shaped rollers that "punch out" the
Pani Puri or chip shapes from the continuous sheet.
- Price
Note: ₹4,20,000/- reflects the complexity of the multi-roller
synchronization.
3. Proofer System (Fermentation)
- Function:
Specifically, for Pani Puri. The cut discs need to rest so the
yeast/enzymes can act and the moisture can equilibrate.
- Scale:
An 85-foot length is massive, designed to handle 1500kg of
dough. This ensures that even at high speeds, every chip gets the required
2 to 6 hours of "dwell time" before hitting the oil.
Without this, the snacks will be flat and hard rather than hollow and
crispy.
4. Continuous Belt Fryer (Working Principle)
This is a High-Spec Spray-Nozzle Fryer, which is
different from a simple dip fryer.
- Spray
Nozzle Principle: Instead of just dropping chips into a vat, hot oil
is sprayed or circulated gently over the product. This ensures that light
wheat chips don't clump together and that they expand uniformly.
- Zonal
Temperature Control: The modular design allows different
"cells."
- Zone
1: High heat for initial "pop" or expansion.
- Zone
2: Lower heat to cook the interior and remove moisture without
burning the surface.
- Versatility:
Can be heated via the 100kg Steam Boiler mentioned in your previous
requirement or via hot oil/gas.
5. Post-Frying: Inspection & Cooling
- Inspection
Conveyor: Allows for manual removal of "un-puffed" or broken
pieces.
- Cooling
Conveyor: Uses ambient air to bring the temperature down to room
level. This is crucial; if you pack wheat snacks while warm, they will
create condensation inside the bag and turn soggy within 24 hours.

Recommendations for your Setup:
- Scrap
Recycling: Ensure your cutting machine has a Scrap Return Conveyor.
Since you are cutting circles (Pani Puri) from a square sheet, you will
have 30% to 40% waste dough. A
fully automatic line should feed this back into the mixer.
