TONLE Mechanical Chicken Claw Frying Production Line: Fully automatic shape protection and crisp lo

2026-04-21 17:06

Chicken feet are a must-have item in the braised food industry, snack food, and ready-to-eat meals. With their crispy skin, chewy interior, and rich flavor, they are popular in braised food chains, ready-to-eat meal processing plants, central kitchens, snack food factories, and other scenarios, with consistently high market demand. However, the processing of fried chicken feet presents significant challenges: their irregular shape and delicate skin make them prone to breakage. Hand frying easily results in broken skin, deboning, uneven frying, dull coloring, and excessive oil absorption. Furthermore, the process requires pre-removal of nails and toes, is tedious, leads to low production capacity, high labor costs, and difficulty in achieving standardized, large-scale production, severely restricting companies' capacity expansion and product quality stability.

Taile Machinery has been deeply involved in the research and development and manufacturing of all types of frying equipment for many years. We have precisely addressed the core pain points of chicken feet frying, creating a fully automated chicken feet frying production line. Combining proprietary processes for chicken feet such as "removal of nails, shaping and crisping, low-temperature frying, and uniform coloring," the line achieves fully automated operation from cleaning, nail and toe removal, draining, automatic battering, constant-temperature frying, multi-stage oil draining, to finished product cooling, sorting, and packaging. The entire process features flexible shaping, precise temperature control, and efficient oil control, ensuring that each chicken foot is intact, crispy on the outside, and chewy and flavorful on the inside. This helps various food processing and braised food companies easily achieve large-scale, standardized mass production of chicken feet, seizing the market opportunities in braised food and snack foods!

1. Customized process to meet the refined frying needs of chicken feet.

Chicken feet, with their irregular shape, thin and tender skin, and prominent joints, are prone to problems such as skin breakage, bone deboning, curling edges, and uneven coloring during frying. Furthermore, the initial processing is cumbersome, and ordinary frying equipment cannot meet the demands of refined frying and automated production. Taile Machinery's chicken feet frying production line abandons the generic design, precisely adapting to the shape and processing characteristics of chicken feet. It integrates the entire process from initial processing to frying, and can be precisely customized according to production needs (frying with bone, frying without bone), processes (baking, coating, frying after braising), and flavors (spicy, five-spice, tiger skin). It is suitable for all types of chicken feet, including fresh, frozen, and prepared chicken feet, with a capacity ranging from 180-3500 kg/h. It is perfectly adaptable to everything from small braised food central kitchens to large pre-prepared food enterprises.

II. Core technological advantages that ensure standardized fried chicken feet quality

1. Flexible shaping + pre-treatment, saving time and effort and preventing skin irritation.

This fully automatic nail and toe removal module eliminates the need for manual processing, quickly removing chicken feet nails and excess toes, reducing human intervention and improving pre-processing efficiency. It utilizes a food-grade silicone non-stick mesh belt with a flexible support structure specifically designed for chicken feet, conforming to their irregular shape and ensuring smooth, bump-free, and pressure-free operation. This prevents chicken feet from tearing, deboning, or curling due to collisions and friction during transport and frying. The mesh belt speed is frequency-adjustable (0.2-3.5m/min), precisely adjusting according to the size and condition of the chicken feet, providing gentle care throughout the process. This ensures that each chicken foot remains intact and undamaged, resulting in a uniform appearance after frying. It is suitable for diverse needs such as braised food sales, pre-packaged dishes, and individually packaged snacks.

2. Precisely controlled temperature frying locks in crispness and juices, preventing dryness and burnt texture.

Equipped with a high-precision PID intelligent temperature control system, the oil temperature control accuracy reaches ±1℃, and the wide range of 50-220℃ is adjustable. It adopts a two-stage frying process of "low-temperature immersion frying to lock in juice and high-temperature crisping and coloring", which accurately controls the frying temperature and time, effectively locking in the internal moisture of the chicken feet, avoiding the meat from becoming dry and the skin from burning. The fried chicken feet have a golden and crispy skin that does not become soft, and a chewy and juicy interior with even flavor. In particular, the tiger skin chicken feet process can accurately control the degree of wrinkling, so that the color and taste of each batch are completely consistent, achieving standardized production.

3. Coat evenly with batter and flour to enhance texture and appearance.

The accompanying module is specifically designed for coating and baking chicken feet. It features a spray-type coating and uniform powder application, allowing for precise adjustment of the coating/baking thickness (0.3mm-0.9mm). This prevents issues such as uneven coating, clumping, and peeling. After coating, frying helps lock in the moisture of the chicken feet and makes the skin crispier and easier to brown. Frying after baking enriches the texture, making the chicken feet crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while further protecting the skin from breaking, significantly improving the product's appearance and market competitiveness.

4. Dynamic oil filtration + multi-stage oil draining achieves dual goals of oil control and cost reduction.

Equipped with a fully automatic vacuum oil filtration system and a double-layer precision filter, it dynamically filters out coating residue and chicken feet crumbs generated during frying in real time, effectively inhibiting oil oxidation, rancidity, and blackening, extending the oil's lifespan by more than 50%, and significantly reducing the frequency of oil changes and oil costs. It is also equipped with a multi-stage high-pressure air-draining module, which quickly removes excess oil from the surface of the chicken feet after frying, reducing the oil content of the finished product by 16%-21%, making it less oily and less greasy, which meets the current trend of healthy braised food and snack food consumption, and can also extend the shelf life of the finished product, making it suitable for the refrigerated and frozen storage needs of pre-cooked dishes.

5. Multi-energy compatibility, energy-efficient and worry-free.

Offering three heating methods—electric, gas, and thermal oil—for fryers, this machine allows for flexible selection to suit various factory energy layouts without requiring additional modifications to wiring or piping, and is adaptable to different regional energy supply characteristics. The entire machine utilizes a thickened 304 stainless steel insulation layer, achieving a thermal efficiency of up to 88%. It features rapid heating and extremely low heat loss, resulting in a 20%-26% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional fryers and small fryers. Long-term, large-scale production can significantly reduce operating costs.

III. Food-grade quality + intelligent control, resulting in safer and more efficient production.

The entire production line is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel, with seamless welding, no dead corners, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, easy cleaning, and easy disassembly. It fully complies with national food machinery safety standards and HACCP food safety management system requirements, eliminates food contamination, ensures the hygiene and safety of chicken feet production, and is suitable for the strict hygiene control requirements of braised food and pre-prepared food processing enterprises.

Equipped with a visual intelligent touch panel, parameters can be preset with one click and the entire process can be automated. It can realize batch programming and fault self-diagnosis. It comes with multiple safety protections such as high temperature alarm, anti-dry burning, emergency stop and automatic power cut-off. It is simple to operate and easy to learn. Novice workers can operate it independently after simple training. A single production line can save 3-4 workers, completely liberate manpower, improve production efficiency and reduce labor management costs.
