Steam fryer, also known as continuous fryer, is a commonly used equipment for continuous frying and processing of food products, which is widely used in the frying process of French fries, crisps, diced potato pancakes, banana chips, puffed food, leisure snacks and other products. Unlike traditional frying machines, steam fryers achieve indirect heating of the frying medium by heating heat-conducting oil with steam, which in turn ensures the stability and uniformity of the frying temperature. This structure helps to improve the quality of finished products and reduce the oxidation of fats and oils, and is the preferred equipment in many modern food processing plants.
At LONKIA, as a specialized continuous fryer manufacturer, we are constantly improving our technology to meet our customers' needs: not only to produce the best possible products, but also to achieve a sustainable use of energy. In addition, we offer tailor-made deep fryer machines for your French fries and chips production line to meet your needs.

Working Principle of Steam Frying Machine
Steam frying machine adopts indirect heating method, the high temperature steam generated by the boiler enters into the built-in heat exchanger to transfer the heat to the edible oil, and then the oil pump will transfer the heated edible oil to the frying area to complete the process of food frying.
Compared with the direct heating method, this heating method can effectively control the temperature and prolong the service life of the oil, which is especially suitable for the application scenarios with higher requirements on frying temperature and quality. Steam frying systems are stable and energy-efficient, and are a common solution for continuous frying in modern food processing companies.

Types of Continuous Deep Fryers
LONKIA currently offers three types of continuous food fryers with different heating methods, namely steam fryers, gas deep fryers and electric heated fryers. Each type of heating method of potato fryer machine has its own advantages in terms of operating cost, heating efficiency and applicable scenarios, and customers can choose flexibly according to the supporting facilities of their factories.
1. Steam Fryer
Steam Frying Machine generates high temperature steam through boiler system and transfers the heat to cooking oil through heat exchanger to achieve indirect heating. This kind of heating method has more accurate temperature control and more stable frying process, especially suitable for large-scale French fries production line, potato chips production plant or other food processing plants.
2. Gas Deep Fryer
Gas deep fryer adopts natural gas or liquefied gas as the heat source, and directly heats up the oil tank through combustion, which is quick to heat up and easy to operate. This type of machine is suitable for medium or large scale production with easy access to energy. The gas heating snacks fryer does not require an additional boiler and has a low initial investment, making it a common choice for many medium to large food factories.
3. Electric Heated Fryer
Electric heated fryer machine heats the cooking oil directly through built-in electric heaters, which is simple, clean and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for small and medium-sized production lines or experimental processing scenarios. This kind of potato fryer machine does not need boiler or gas supply, which is suitable for the customer groups who have favourable electricity price or high requirement on environmental cleanliness. With easy operation control and low maintenance cost, it is a common choice for new factories.

Features of Steam Heating Fryer
1. Fast Temperature Rise, High Thermal Efficiency
LONKIA's steam fryer can quickly raise the oil temperature from 137°C to 185°C during operation, and the temperature rise time is only 12~15 seconds, which shortens the preheating time and improves the efficiency of potato chips and fries production line.
2. Save Frying Oil, Low Running Cost
The steamer fryer adopts low oil level design and continuous oil replenishment system, the consumption of frying oil is only about 70kg when processing 1 ton of French fries, which is significantly lower than that of traditional deep-frying equipment. The refilling system eliminates the need for frequent oil changes while frying, reducing waste and effectively controlling operating costs.
3. Precise Temperature Control
The oil level in the frying zone is automatically adjusted by the tuning fork liquid level sensor, and the control precision can reach millimetre unit. Combined with the steam heating method, the oil temperature fluctuation is small, which is conducive to maintaining the appearance and taste of the fried products, and meet the requirements of customers.
4. Safe and Stable
Compared with electric heating equipment, deep fryer steamer avoids the problem of easy fire, and the operation process is safer. Compared with traditional heat transfer oil fryers, there is no risk of heat transfer oil leakage or oil contamination, reducing the failure rate and maintenance work.
5. Optimized Structure for Continuous Production
The steam fryer machine supports continuous operation with automatic oil draining and oil recycling function, which is suitable for long time and high load production line. Its high-efficiency design is widely used in a variety of food processing scenarios, such as potato fries and hash browns.
