Smart Frying Line: Full-Line Integrated Solution
In March 2026, the China National Intellectual Property Administration published an invention patent titled “Food Production Device and Food Production Method” (Publication No. CN121713966A), jointly developed by a leading domestic meat processing enterprise and a food machinery manufacturer. The technology integrates four core sections—cutting, battering, transfer, and frying—achieving fully automated and intelligent control from raw material to finished product, marking a significant step forward in independent innovation within the field of automated food processing equipment.
1. Full-Line Integration: Cutting + Battering + Transfer + Frying, Fully Automated Operation
According to the patent abstract, the food production device integrates multiple core sections:
· Cutting Section: A transmission platform with a movable cutting component enables precise cutting of raw materials with consistent dimensions.
· Battering Section: Positioned downstream of the cutting section, a mixing chamber with an internal stirring element ensures uniform and thorough batter coating.
· Hopper Transfer Section: A separation mechanism working in conjunction with a conveyor belt achieves automatic material separation and directional transfer.
· Frying Section: Features multiple frying chambers, allowing precise control of oil temperature and frying duration.
The entire line operates through a coordinated control system, addressing industry pain points such as disconnected processes, low manual transfer efficiency, and reliance on operator experience, significantly improving product consistency and production stability.
2. Technical Highlights: Smart Control + Structural Optimization, Breaking Traditional Line Bottlenecks
Compared to traditional frying lines, this technology achieves breakthroughs in the following areas:
| Comparison Dimension | Traditional Line | New Technology Solution |
| Process Connection | Independent processes, manual transfer | Automated connection, fully coordinated |
| Battering Uniformity | Relies on manual operation, high variability | Mechanical stirring + automatic control, uniform and consistent |
| Transfer Efficiency | Manual handling, prone to bottlenecks | Automatic separation + conveyor belt, continuous operation |
| Control Method | Independent control of each device | Centralized line control, programmable parameters |
| Product Consistency | Relies on operator experience | Fixed equipment parameters, stable and controllable |
This system is particularly well-suited for high-volume continuous production of fried prepared meat products (such as chicken patties, pork cutlets, meat fritters, etc.). It helps food manufacturers significantly reduce labor dependence, improve yield rates, and ensure consistent product quality.
