Prawn Frying Production Line

Breaded prawns and crispy butterfly prawns are hit products for quick-frozen prepared dishes, seafood snacks and western fast food. With tender meat and crisp coating, they maintain steady market orders all year round. However, prawns are high-protein aquatic ingredients with fragile shells and easily broken tails. Once coated with batter and breading, the surface becomes delicate. Processed by ordinary frying machines, prawns commonly suffer broken tails, coating peeling, uneven coloring and tough meat. Many seafood processors adopt old frying equipment and simple frying pots, resulting in high defective rates and excessive oil consumption, which restrict production capacity. The prawn frying production line developed by Tonle Machinery is customized according to prawn characteristics. It integrates continuous frying, pressing conveying, automatic oil filtering, frequency conversion speed regulation and post oil draining & cooling. It easily solves mass production challenges of prawns with four core advantages:

1. Precise Constant-temperature Frying System for Uniform Doneness and Freshness LockThis frying production line is equipped with intelligent temperature control modules and zoned temperature control inside the frying machine. Temperature fluctuation is small. Frying temperature and time can be adjusted freely according to prawn size and coating thickness. The oil temperature will not drop sharply after bulk feeding, avoiding burnt surface with raw meat inside, or undercooked pale prawns with fishy odor. The stable constant-temperature environment locks the juice of prawn meat, delivering crispy outside and tender inside products with rich shrimp aroma and consistent color batch by batch, greatly improving the appearance of finished prawns.

2. Double-layer Mesh Belt Conveying to Prevent Floating, Breakage and Coating LossPrawns are light and easy to float and roll in hot oil. Old frying machines only use single-layer mesh belts. Prawns tend to stack and squeeze, causing broken tails and coating peeling. Tonle Machinery frying production line adopts upper and lower double-layer mesh belt conveying structure. The frequency conversion speed can be adjusted flexibly to hold prawns firmly, preventing floating, rolling and collision. It maximally protects intact shrimp tails, reduces coating peeling, keeps complete prawn shape, cuts raw material loss and raises yield rate.

3. On-line Continuous Oil Filter Device to Extend Oil Service Life and Cut Production CostShrimp shell debris and batter residues will be generated during prawn frying. Residues sinking in the oil tank carbonize under high temperature, darkening and deteriorating oil rapidly. Ordinary frying machines require frequent shutdown for cleaning and oil replacement, leading to high oil cost. The full production line is fitted with automatic slag scraping and online oil filter. It separates residues in real time during frying and discharges them timely to slow oil oxidation and darkening. It prolongs service cycle of frying oil, reduces oil change frequency and oil consumption cost for factories, lowers oil fume and keeps a cleaner workshop.

4. Food-grade Stainless Steel Build & Automated Production Line, Time-saving and Easy MaintenanceThe whole frying production line is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel, meeting food hygiene standards. It is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The integrated equipment covers automatic feeding, continuous frying, vibrating oil draining and air cooling discharging. Mass continuous production can be realized with one frying production line without heavy manual labor, suitable for seafood factories of all sizes. The production capacity can be customized, supporting electric, gas and electromagnetic heating modes. We provide on-site installation, commissioning and after-sales service to offer one-stop solutions for aquatic frying production.

Tonle Machinery has focused on frying equipment for nearly 20 years with ISO9001 and CE certifications. We devote ourselves to R&D and manufacturing of frying machines for all kinds of aquatic products and prepared dishes. The prawn frying production line is applicable to butterfly prawns, breaded prawns, crispy sea prawns and more. It helps aquatic food manufacturers stabilize product quality, reduce loss and expand output, serving as the preferred frying equipment for upgrading production lines of aquatic prepared food factories.
