Wheat Wheel Fryer (also known as a Fryums or Pellets Fryer) for products like Namak Para and Shakkar Para is a continuous frying system designed to handle dough-based snacks that expand rapidly and float.

In Ahmedabad, these machines are typically built with a Double Mesh Belt to keep the floating wheat wheels submerged, ensuring they are perfectly "khasta" (crispy) and evenly colored on both sides.

1. Technical Specifications for Wheat Snacks

2. Specialized Features for Namak/Shakkar Para

• Submerging Conveyor: Dough-based wheat snacks are buoyant. Without a top "hold-down" belt, one side stays raw while the other burns. This machine sandwiches the product between two belts to ensure 360-degree frying.
• Fines Filtration: Flour and dough debris (fines) often fall off Namak Para. A continuous Bucket or Paper Filter removes these particles instantly so the oil doesn't turn black.
• Variable Dwell Time: Different thicknesses of Shakkar Para require different frying times. A VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) allows you to adjust the belt speed from 45 seconds to 4 minutes.
• De-Oiling Shaker: At the exit, a high-frequency vibratory screen removes surface oil, which is critical for the sugar coating (syrup) to stick properly to Shakkar Para later.
