Golgappa Fryer Machine
A Continuous
Automatic Golgappa (Pani Puri) Fryer is the most advanced solution for
large-scale production, moving away from manual batch frying to a
conveyor-based system. This ensures that every single puri puffs perfectly and
stays crisp without manual intervention.
In Ahmedabad (the
hub for these machines), you will find two main versions: a compact continuous
model and a high-capacity industrial line.

2. Key Features of
Continuous Frying
- Double Mesh Belt: This is the
"secret" to perfectly round golgappas. A top mesh belt keeps the
puris submerged in the oil, ensuring they are fried evenly on both sides
without needing to be flipped manually.
- Automatic Pumping System: Higher-end
models (like those from Penguin Engineering or Fry-Tech) use
an oil pump to create a flow that "helps" the puri puff up
instantly as it hits the hot oil.
- Variable Speed Drive (VFD): Allows you to
control the frying time. If the puris are browning too fast, you can speed
up the conveyor; if they are soft, you can slow it down.
- Oil Filtration: Continuous systems often
include a filter to remove small particles of dough that fall off, which
keeps the oil clean and prevents a "burnt" smell in the product.
3. Complete
Automatic Line Integration
If you are setting
up a factory, the fryer is usually the 4th stage of a Fully Automatic Line:
- Dough Mixer: Prepares the hard dough.
- Sheeter Machine: Rolls the dough into a
thin, uniform sheet.
- Die Cutting Machine: Automatically cuts
the round puris and recycles the waste dough.
- Continuous Fryer: Frys the cut discs
immediately.
- De-Oiling Conveyor: Removes excess surface oil before packaging
