Frying machines are used very frequently in food processing. But how to use a frying machine? Different types of frying machine not only have different structures, but their operating methods also differ significantly. To help users better understand how to use a frying machine, the following will introduce the operating steps and key points for two popular models: the round pot frying machine and the continuous frying machine.
How to Use a Round Pot Fryer ?
A round pot fryer is a small or medium-sized frying device with a simple structure and easy operation. Its advantages include uniform heating, easy maintenance, and relatively low cost.
- Preparation before starting
Check that the machine is clean and that there is no residue or water inside the pot.
Add cooking oil to the specified oil level line, avoiding overfilling or underfilling.
Check that the power or gas connection is secure and that the safety devices are functioning properly.
- Equipment Preheating
Start the heating system and adjust the temperature to the required processing range.
Common frying temperatures are between 150℃ and 180℃, adjusted according to the product.
Once the oil temperature reaches the set value, frying can begin.
- Adding Materials
Place the prepared materials evenly into the frying basket or pour them directly into the oil.
Be careful to add materials in appropriate amounts to avoid a sudden drop in oil temperature, which would affect the crispness of the product.
Use a stirring device (if available) to ensure even heating.
- Control frying time
Set the frying time according to product requirements. Observe the temperature changes during frying and adjust the heating intensity as necessary.
- Discharge
When the product reaches the ideal color and crispness, the frying basket is automatically lifted and the material is poured into the storage basket.
How to Use a Continuous Fryer?
A continuous fryer is a highly automated industrial frying equipment widely used in the large-scale production of potato chips, French fries, nuts, meat products, etc. Its features include automatic feeding, automatic discharging, stable temperature control, and high production capacity.
Continuous frying machines are highly automated industrial frying equipment widely used in the large-scale production of potato chips, French fries, nuts, meat products, etc. Their features include automatic feeding, automatic discharging, stable temperature control, and high production capacity.
- Pre-start checks:
Confirm the oil level in the tank reaches the standard mark.
Check if the conveyor belt runs smoothly and is free of obstructions.
Confirm the heating system, circulating filtration system, and smoke exhaust system are functioning properly.
- Start the equipment and preheat.
Turn on the main unit switch to activate the heating device and raise the oil temperature to the set value.
Activate the oil circulation and filtration system to ensure more even oil temperature distribution and prevent localized overheating.
- Adjusting Conveyor Belt Speed and Temperature
The frying time is set according to product requirements, which is usually achieved by adjusting the conveyor belt speed.
The temperature of the frying zone is controlled; multiple temperature zones are typically set up to ensure that the product is heated evenly from inlet to outlet.
- Feeding and Automatic Frying
Start the automatic feeding device to evenly feed the materials onto the conveyor belt.
The products will automatically enter the oil tank for frying along the conveyor belt, requiring no manual turning throughout the process.
The frying machine maintains a constant temperature, ensuring consistent color and uniform cooking of the products.
- Automatic Discharge and Oil Draining
The product is automatically lifted from the oil tank outlet.
Optional equipment includes vibratory oil draining, mesh belt oil draining, or centrifugal oil removal to reduce the oil content of the finished product.
The finished product is then conveyed to a cooling or seasoning line for further processing.In addition to the two types mentioned above, we also offer many other types of frying machine. If you are interested, please contact us.
