In the food processing sector—specifically for manufacturers of namkeen, chips, and fried snacks—temperature consistency is the key to product quality. However, achieving this consistency often comes at a high fuel cost. Giriraj introduces a sustainable solution: Biomass-Fired Batch Fryers (Circular and Rectangular) designed specifically for food processing industries seeking consistent quality and fuel savings.
Technical Design and Hygiene
The food industry demands equipment that meets strict hygiene standards. Our batch fryers are constructed using SS 304 food-grade material for the fry pan, ensuring safety and compliance. This is supported by an MS/SS support structure and high-density ceramic wool insulation to prevent heat loss and protect operators.
Key Specifications:
Fryer Range: Available in diameters ranging from 24'' to 60''.
Temperature Control: The system features digital oil-temperature control, allowing for precise thermal management. This prevents the overheating of oil, which is critical for maintaining the taste and shelf-life of fried products.
Operational Efficiency
Transitioning from Diesel or LPG to biomass pellets in a frying setup does not mean sacrificing control. Our systems utilize pellets with a consistent calorific value (3,800–4,500 kcal/kg) to deliver steady thermal output.
Fuel Efficiency: Users can expect a fuel cost reduction of 30–50% compared to Diesel or LPG.
Clean Operation: The pellets have a very low ash content (1–2%), which keeps the production environment cleaner than coal or wood-fired alternatives.
Versatility in Application
While the Circular Batch Fryer is a staple, we also offer Rectangular configurations to suit different production line layouts. The system handles biomass pellets or loose biomass, giving manufacturers flexibility based on fuel availability. Given that pellets are available year-round across India and are easy to store and transport, supply chain interruptions are minimized.
Conclusion
Giriraj's Batch Fryers represent the intersection of food technology and sustainable engineering. By adopting these systems, food processors can maintain the high quality of their snacks while aligning with a vision of operating efficiently and responsibly.
