Nugget Fryer Machine
industrial Nugget Fryer Machine is a precision-engineered system
designed specifically for coated or breaded meat and vegetable products.1
Because nuggets carry breadcrumbs that can burn and ruin the oil, these
machines feature advanced continuous sediment removal systems.2
In the Ahmedabad industrial hub, these are typically integrated into a
"Nugget Line" that includes forming, battering, and breading.3

2. Key Features for Nuggets
- Double Mesh
Belt: Nuggets are light and tend to float. A double-belt system keeps them
submerged in the oil for perfectly even browning on both sides.4
- Crumb
Management: Battered nuggets lose crumbs. These fryers have a longitudinal
scraper at the bottom that constantly pushes fallen crumbs out of the heat
zone to prevent "black spots" and keep the oil fresh.5
- Variable
Speed (VFD): Crucial for nuggets.6 Different recipes require
different "dwell times" (usually 3–5 minutes) in the oil.
- Lifting
System: For the 500+ kg/hr models, the entire conveyor belt and hood lift
up electrically for easy cleaning (CIP - Clean In Place).7
After frying, nuggets must pass through a Vibratory
De-Oiler or an Air Cooling Tunnel. Without this, the breading will
absorb excess oil and become soggy during packaging.
