Gas Fired Fryer Small Panipuri Fryer Machine

small-scale, automatic Panipuri (Gol Gappa) fryer, a gas-fired system is highly recommended because it provides the rapid, intense heat needed to "pop" the puris instantly. Unlike nuggets or beans, Panipuris require a specific vortex or circular oil flow to ensure they rotate and puff up into perfect spheres.

1. Types of Automatic Panipuri Fryers

A. The "Vortex" Circular Fryer (Most Popular)

This machine uses a circular tank with a motorized "paddle" or "wiper."

  • How it works: Raw pellets are dropped into the center. The rotating paddles move the puris in a circular motion through the hot oil.
  • Automation: Once puffed, the puris are automatically guided to a discharge ramp and pushed out into a collection basket.
  • Benefit: Ensures 100% puffing rate and prevents the puris from sticking to each other.

B. Continuous Belt Fryer (Linear)

A miniature version of industrial snack lines.

  • How it works: A mesh belt carries the puris through a rectangular gas-heated tank.
  • Benefit: High consistency and easily integrated with a cooling conveyor.1

3. Why "Gas Fired" for Panipuri?

Panipuris are made from semolina or wheat pellets that need to hit high-temperature oil ($190$°C to $200$°C) to expand.

  • Rapid Recovery: Gas burners recover heat much faster than electric coils when a new batch of "cold" pellets is added.
  • Operational Cost: In India and many other regions, LPG/PNG is significantly cheaper than electricity for high-heat frying.
  • Flame Control: Modern automatic gas fryers include a Solenoid Valve that automatically turns the flame up or down based on the oil temperature sensor (PID Control).

4. Automation Features to Look For

  1. Automatic Igniter: No need for manual lighters; the machine sparks automatically.
  2. VFD (Variable Frequency Drive): Allows you to slow down or speed up the paddles. If the puris are browning too fast, you speed up the discharge.
  3. Temperature Controller: A digital display that shuts off the gas flow if the oil reaches the set limit, preventing oil fire or smoke.
  4. Oil Filter Tray: A mesh tray at the bottom to catch any broken puri pieces before they burn.
