Rectangular Fryer Machine
A Rectangular Fryer Machine is the industrial standard for
medium-to-large scale snack production (Namkeen, Chips, and Fryums). The
rectangular shape is preferred over circular pans because it provides a larger,
linear surface area, making it ideal for Continuous Frying or high-capacity Batch
Frying with automatic tilting systems.
In Ahmedabad, these are typically integrated with Indirect Heating
(External or Inbuilt Heat Exchangers) to save fuel and keep the edible oil
fresh.

2. Key Features & Benefits
- One-Stroke
Unloading: Most industrial rectangular batch fryers feature a hydraulic or
gear-based tilting system. This allows you to unload the entire batch into
a de-oiling tray in a single motion, ensuring all snacks are fried for the
exact same amount of time.
- Indirect
Heating (Inbuilt/Outside): Unlike a "Bhatti" where the fire
touches the pan, these use heat exchanger tubes. This reduces fuel
consumption by 20–30% and prevents the oil from turning black (low FFA
levels).
- Continuous
Filtration: They often include a "Bucket Filter" that constantly
removes small crumbs and burnt particles from the oil while you are
frying.
- Uniform
Heat: The rectangular design allows for multiple oil inlets/outlets,
ensuring the temperature at the front of the pan is the same as the back.
