Chips fryer is a common food processing equipment used to make various chips. But what are the different types of chips fryers? According to the different degree of automation, there are two main types of fryers: semi-automatic fryers and fully automatic fryers.
Semi-Automatic Fryer
Semi-automatic deep fryer, often called round pot fryer, is a traditional deep frying equipment. Its design is relatively simple and suitable for small and medium scale production operations. This fryer has the following features:
- Simple structure: Semi-automatic fryer usually consists of oil pot and heating system. The operator needs to manually fry the chips in the oil pot.
- Flexible operation: Due to its manual operation, the operator can flexibly adjust the frying time and temperature according to the actual situation. This is especially important for food products that require different frying processes.
- Lower cost: Compared with fully automatic fryers, semi-automatic fryers have lower acquisition and maintenance costs, making them suitable for small and medium-sized food processing enterprises.
- High labor involvement: the operation process requires a lot of labor involvement, which has a certain impact on the production efficiency and consistency.
Fully automatic frying machine, also known as continuous deep fryer, is a modernized deep frying equipment widely used in large food processing enterprises.
- Efficient production: the automatic frying machine adopts continuous production mode, which can greatly improve the production efficiency. The ingredients enter the frying area automatically through the conveyor belt without manual operation.
- Automatic control: the equipment is equipped with advanced automatic control system, which can precisely control the oil temperature, frying time and oil level to ensure the consistency and high quality of each batch of products.
- Energy saving and environmental protection: the machine is usually equipped with oil smoke purification system and heat recovery system, which can effectively reduce oil smoke emission and energy consumption, in line with modern environmental protection requirements.
- Wide range of application: due to its high efficiency and precise control, it is suitable for the production of different types of fried food and can meet the needs of large-scale production.
Semi-automatic fryer and fully automatic frying machine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right frying equipment needs to be considered comprehensively according to the enterprise’s production scale, product type and budget.
