Universal Continuous Frying System for Industrial Food Processing
The 500 x 1500 Inline Continuous Fryer is an industrial continuous frying system designed for food processors that need controlled dwell time, consistent oil temperature, oil circulation, and flexible product handling in a compact production footprint. This fryer can be configured for sinker products, floating products, coated products, vegetables, nuts, snacks, and specialty food applications.

Electrical Planning Guidance
This fryer can be reviewed with different 3-phase electrical options depending on the customer’s facility. Higher voltage typically lowers the amperage requirement, which can help customers and electricians choose the most practical installation path.
Electrical Option
Approx. Amperage
Customer Guidance
220V, 60Hz, 3 Phase
Approx. 157 A
Available as an option, but this voltage requires higher amperage and should be reviewed carefully with the customer’s electrician.
480V, 60Hz, 3 Phase
Approx. 72 A
Good option when the customer wants lower amperage and the facility has 480V service.
600V, 60Hz, 3 Phase
Approx. 58 A
Standard option for many Canadian industrial facilities and the lowest amperage option listed.
Electrical values are provided as planning guidance only. Final voltage, amperage, breaker size, wiring, transformer needs, and installation requirements should be confirmed by the customer’s licensed electrician based on the final equipment configuration and local electrical code.
Available Product-Handling Configurations
Each fryer size can be configured based on how the product behaves in oil. CM Machine Services can help match the fryer configuration to the product type, frying time, oil control requirements, and production goals.
Option 1: Top & Bottom Universal Mesh Belt
This configuration is designed for direct immersion frying, where the product enters directly into the oil and travels through the frying zone between the top and bottom universal mesh belts.
Best for sinker-type products such as bulk products, vegetables, nuts, snack products, coated products, and items that require controlled immersion in the oil.
Direct product entry into the oil
Top and bottom belt control
Controlled immersion through the fry zone
Ideal for products that sink or require belt guidance
Example configuration: direct immersion fryer with top & bottom universal mesh belt.
Option 2: Two Propellers + Top & Bottom Mesh Belts
This configuration is designed for floating-type products where the customer still wants the control of top and bottom mesh belts. The two propellers provide light product movement while the belts help guide product travel through the fry zone.
Suitable for both sinker and floating products that do not require heavy agitation.
Top and bottom mesh belt control
Light propeller-assisted product movement
Useful for floating or partially floating products
Good for products that do not require heavy agitation
Example configuration: two propellers with top & bottom mesh belt control.
Option 3: All Propeller / Trawl Propeller Belt System
This configuration is designed for flotation frying and mixed flotation/immersion frying. Trawl propellers help push, move, and agitate products through the fryer when products float on the oil surface.
Best for fully floating products such as chips, potatoes, banana chips, tortilla chips, and similar snack products that require active product pushing and agitation.
Designed for flotation frying
Trawl propellers push and move floating products
Supports mixed flotation and immersion frying
Best for chips, potatoes, banana chips, and tortilla chips
Example configuration: all propeller / trawl propeller system for fully floating products.
