Batch fryer works by frying food in batches. The food to be fried is placed into the frying tank of the batch fryer machine, cooked for a set period, and then discharged manually or automatically. After one batch is finished, the next batch of food is loaded for frying.
This batch-cycling operation makes the batch fryer machine an ideal frying solution for small and medium-scale food production. It is commonly used in small potato chip factories, restaurants, and laboratories to process snacks such as potato chips, peanuts, banana chips, onion rings, and other fried foods.
Compared with continuous fryer machines, the batch fryer machine has features such as lower cost, simple operation, flexible heating methods, and adjustable frying time and temperature etc.

Frying basket capacity or oil tank capacity is the primary factor determining the batch fryer machine price. The price range for small manual batch fryers is $1,000 - $10,000, while large continuous fryers can cost up to $15,000 - $25,000. Please choose the appropriate size based on your average daily sales volume.
Electric heating is the most common, with convenient installation, precise temperature control, and relatively stable initial cost and operating cost.
Gas heating has a faster heating speed and may have lower operating costs (depending on the local gas price), but it requires connection to a gas pipeline and has higher installation requirements. Generally, gas batch fryer are more expensive than electric fryers of the same specification.
Manual batch fryers are the most economical because the time and temperature are controlled by manual.
Fully automatic batch fryers are equipped with digital PID temperature controllers, multi-stage programming functions, and automatic basket lifting. With just one button, you can complete complex oil frying processes. They are more expensive, but they can significantly improve efficiency and quality stability.
Batch fryer which is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant, easier to clean, has a longer service life, and costs more compared to 430 stainless steel.
