FRYUMS/PELLET FRYING LINE
Batch Fryer & Continuous Fryer
Manufacturer in India
SS Engineering Works has been manufacturing batch fryers,
continuous automatic fryers, diesel batch fryers,
wood pellet fryers, and complete fryums and kurkure frying lines
in India since 2011. Our fryers run in the factories of Haldiram, Bikaji, Bikano, and Patanjali –
and in hundreds of regional snack units across India.

- Batch, continuous, diesel, wood pellet & LPG options
- SS304 food-grade stainless steel throughout – not just contact surfaces
- Free installation & operator training included
- Clients: Haldiram, Bikaji, Bikano, Patanjali
What Our Frying Lines Include
Every continuous frying line from SS Engineering Works is built around a core continuous immersion fryer with submerger conveyor. Product spends 15 to 40 seconds in oil depending on pellet type, comes out fully expanded and fried. Standard components on every line:
- Continuous immersion fryer – submerger conveyor in SS304 for even frying
- Pre-fryer – evens out moisture in raw pellets before main frying stage; skipping this causes uneven expansion
- Conveyor oil filter – runs continuously to remove starch from frying oil, keeps product colour consistent across a full shift
- Incline elevator – full SS304 construction, feeds product into the fryer at controlled speed
- De-oiling belt conveyor – VFD-controlled speed for surface oil removal after frying
- Flavour drum – adjustable drum angle for different coating weights and masala types
- Mechanised hood lifting – full mechanical lift on the fryer hood; your cleaning team lifts this twice a day on a 10-hour shift – manual hoods on hot fryers are a real hazard
- PLC control panel with touchscreen – full-line monitoring and temperature control from one point
All food-contact parts are SS304 stainless steel. The built-in conveyor oil filter removes starch particles continuously – dirty oil is the main reason finished product colour goes inconsistent over a shift. Ours doesn’t.
Fryer Types We Manufacture
Batch Fryer
Our batch fryer processes one fixed load at a time – ideal for snack manufacturers who run multiple product types on a single line, or for units where production volume doesn’t justify a continuous fryer. The batch fryer is the most flexible option: you control fry time, oil temperature, and load size per batch independently. Common applications include namkeen, fryums, papad, and mixed snack production where recipes change frequently across the day.
- Fixed-load frying with manual or semi-automatic loading
- Independent temperature and time control per batch
- Suitable for namkeen, fryums, papad, mixed snacks
- Heating options: LPG, diesel, wood pellet, thermic fluid
- Capacity: 50 / 100 kg/hr equivalent output
- SS304 food-contact construction throughout
Diesel Batch Fryer
Our diesel batch fryer uses a diesel burner system for heating, making it the right choice for locations where LPG supply is unreliable, pipeline gas is unavailable, or diesel running cost is lower than gas in your area. Diesel burners provide high heat output rapidly – useful for heavy-load batches and continuous back-to-back frying cycles. The burner system is externally mounted with a heat exchanger design, so combustion gases never contact the frying oil or product.
- Diesel burner with external heat exchanger – no combustion gas contact with oil
- High heat output for heavy batch loads and back-to-back frying
- Suitable for areas with unreliable LPG or gas supply
- Thermostat-controlled temperature for consistent frying across batches
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 kg/hr equivalent output
- Full SS304 food-contact surfaces
Rectangular Fryer
The rectangular fryer is a continuous fryer with a flat rectangular tank profile – optimised for snack products that need a longer fry path or uniform oil depth across a wide belt width. The rectangular profile allows a larger oil volume relative to tank footprint than a circular fryer, which helps maintain oil temperature stability during high-throughput continuous frying. Suitable for fryums pellets, kurkure, namkeen, and flat snack formats.
- Flat rectangular tank for uniform oil depth across full belt width
- Higher oil volume – better temperature stability at full load
- Submerger conveyor in SS304 with adjustable speed
- Built-in conveyor oil filter for starch removal
- Suitable for fryums, kurkure, namkeen, flat snack formats
- Capacity: 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
Circular Fryer
Our circular fryer uses a round tank with a rotating paddle or spiral conveyor system to move product through the oil. The circular design gives a compact floor footprint relative to output capacity – useful for manufacturers with limited floor space who need a self-contained frying unit. The rotating paddle ensures uniform product tumbling in oil, which gives even colour and texture on round and irregular shaped snacks such as rings, balls, and mixed namkeen batches.
- Round tank with rotating paddle or spiral conveyor
- Compact floor footprint – suitable for space-constrained production floors
- Uniform product tumbling for even colour on round and irregular shapes
- Suitable for rings, cheese balls, mixed namkeen
- Heating options: LPG, diesel, wood pellet
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 kg/hr
Continuous Automatic Fryer
Our continuous automatic fryer runs uninterrupted across a full production shift with no manual loading or unloading. Product enters on one end via an infeed conveyor, travels through the oil under a submerger conveyor at controlled speed and temperature, and discharges continuously at the other end. This is the correct fryer type for manufacturers running one product at high volume across one, two, or three shifts. All our kurkure frying lines and fryums frying lines are built around this fryer type.
- Fully automatic infeed-to-discharge with no manual intervention
- Submerger conveyor in SS304 – adjustable immersion depth and speed
- Integrated pre-fryer for moisture equalisation before main frying
- Conveyor oil filter running continuously throughout the shift
- PLC-controlled temperature zones and belt speed
- Capacity: 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
Wood Pellet Fryer
Our wood pellet fryer uses compressed wood pellet biomass as fuel – the lowest running cost fuel option available for snack frying in India. Wood pellets cost significantly less per kg than LPG or diesel, and biomass burning qualifies as a carbon-neutral fuel source under most environmental frameworks. Popular with manufacturers in Punjab, Haryana, and UP where wood pellet supply is reliable and LPG operating costs are high. The burner system uses an automated pellet feeder with burn rate control – no manual stoking.
- Compressed wood pellet biomass burner – lowest running cost fuel option
- Automated pellet feeder with adjustable burn rate – no manual stoking
- External heat exchanger – combustion gases do not contact oil or product
- Popular in Punjab, Haryana, UP where pellet supply is established
- Available as batch fryer or continuous fryer configuration
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
Kurkure Fryer
The kurkure fryer is a continuous immersion fryer specifically configured for extruded kurkure and niknaks frying. Kurkure requires a shorter fry time than pellet snacks – typically 10 to 20 seconds – at a higher oil temperature. The submerger conveyor depth and belt speed are set to match the specific expansion characteristics of kurkure extrusion output. The built-in starch filter is particularly important for kurkure frying because cornmeal extrusion releases more starch into the oil than pellet frying – without continuous filtration, oil darkens quickly and product colour becomes inconsistent within a single shift.
- Short fry time configuration: 10–20 seconds at high oil temperature
- Submerger belt depth and speed matched to kurkure extruder output
- Conveyor starch filter – essential for kurkure to maintain oil quality
- Pairs directly with our kurkure extruder and de-oiling belt conveyor
- Clients include Haldiram, Bikaji, Bikano, Patanjali
- Capacity: 100 / 250 / 500 / 1000 kg/hr
Fryums Fryer
Our fryums fryer is built for pellet snack frying – fryums, papad pellets, and other extruded or sheeted pellet formats. Pellets require a longer immersion time than kurkure – typically 25 to 45 seconds depending on pellet thickness and raw material – for full expansion and crunch. The pre-fryer stage is standard on our fryums line and is critical: it removes surface moisture from raw pellets before main frying, which is what gives you consistent expansion across the whole batch. Lines that skip the pre-fryer stage produce uneven expansion, especially on thicker pellets.
- Longer immersion configuration: 25–45 seconds for full pellet expansion
- Pre-fryer stage standard – removes surface moisture for consistent expansion
- Suitable for fryums, papad pellets, rice pellets, and mixed pellet formats
- Conveyor oil filter running continuously to maintain oil clarity
- VFD-controlled de-oiling belt after frying for surface oil removal
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
Capacity Options
We manufacture fryers across four standard capacity ranges:
| Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|
| 50 kg/hr | Startups or manufacturers adding a second product line |
| 100 kg/hr | Regional brand running one or two shifts |
| 250 kg/hr | Established manufacturers scaling volume output |
| 500 kg/hr | Large-scale three-shift continuous snack frying |
If you are between these figures, above 500 kg/hr, or need thermic fluid heating instead of LPG – call us at +91 98184 89414. Unusual floor dimensions, specific pellet shapes with longer fry times, non-standard fuel types – these are not special projects for us. They are just a different spec sheet.

CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC FRYER.
The automatic pellet frying system runs a dipping conveyor belt that pulls pellet snacks through hot oil at a controlled depth and speed. Fry time sits between 15 and 40 seconds depending on the pellet type and target expansion — adjust the belt speed on the VFD and the fry time changes. No stopping the line to make that adjustment.
Works across the full range of pellet snack types — fryums, 2D and 3D pellets, potato pellets, tapioca pellets, wheat-based pellets. The submerger conveyor keeps product fully immersed so expansion is even. Pellets that only half-submerge get uneven expansion on one face — a common problem on cheaper fryers. Not on this one.
- Pellet frying time: 15 to 40 seconds (adjustable via VFD belt speed)
- Dipping conveyor with submerger — full immersion, even expansion
- Handles fryums, 2D/3D pellets, potato, tapioca and wheat pellets
- Mechanised hood lifting for cleaning access
- Conveyor oil filter — removes starch particles, extends oil life
- SS304 construction on all food-contact surfaces
- Capacity: 50 to 500 kg/hr
Part of our complete fryums frying line — also available with de-oiling belt, flavour drum and PLC panel as a turnkey system.
CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC PELLET FRYING LINE WITH FLAVOURING.
The pellet fryer is built around one practical goal: lower running cost per kg without sacrificing product quality. Here is where that shows up in operation:
- High productivity — continuous operation, no batch stops, consistent output across the shift
- Low fuel consumption — insulated frying chamber retains heat; less energy spent maintaining oil temperature
- Low edible oil take-up — submerger conveyor controls immersion depth and time precisely, so product doesn’t absorb excess oil
- Low manpower — one operator runs the full frying and de-oiling section once set up
- Better finish quality — even fry time and consistent oil temperature means uniform expansion, colour and texture across every batch
- Better hygiene — mechanised hood lifting means cleaning doesn’t require staff to handle hot equipment manually; SS304 surfaces don’t harbour bacteria
These aren’t spec-sheet claims — they’re the reasons snack
manufacturers running our
fryums frying line report lower oil bills and fewer
rejects per shift compared to their previous equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of a batch fryer in India?
Price depends on capacity, fryer type (batch or continuous), and fuel type (LPG, diesel, wood pellet or thermic fluid). A 50 kg/hr diesel batch fryer is priced differently from a 250 kg/hr continuous automatic fryer. Call +91 98184 89414 or fill the enquiry form for a detailed quote within 24 hours.
What is the difference between a batch fryer and a continuous fryer?
A batch fryer processes one fixed load at a time – suitable for small-scale production, multiple product types, or product trials. A continuous fryer runs uninterrupted with a submerger conveyor, suited for high-volume single-product output across full shifts. We manufacture both. If you are unsure which fits your plan, call us and we will advise based on your daily target and product mix.
Which fuel type is cheapest for snack frying in India?
Wood pellet biomass fuel typically has the lowest running cost per kg of product fried in India, followed by thermic fluid systems (where waste heat is available), then diesel, then LPG. The right answer depends on your location and local fuel supply. We can advise on the most cost-effective fuel option for your state before you decide on fryer configuration.
What is the difference between a kurkure fryer and a fryums fryer?
Kurkure requires a shorter fry time (10–20 seconds) at higher temperature – the belt speed and submerger depth are configured accordingly. Fryums pellets need a longer fry time (25–45 seconds) for full expansion, and require a pre-fryer stage to equalise pellet moisture before main frying. Both use the same continuous immersion fryer base – the configuration differs.
Why does frying oil go dark quickly on some lines?
Starch particles released from the product during frying accumulate in the oil and darken it. This is the main reason product colour goes inconsistent across a shift. Our continuous fryers include a built-in conveyor oil filter that removes starch from the oil continuously during production – not just at the end of a shift. This extends oil life and keeps product colour consistent from the first batch to the last.
