▌Product Description
The Meatech MT-CF automatic continuous fryer uses oil-water mixing technology to separate frying oil from water and food residue during operation, removing the carbonised particles that degrade oil quality in conventional fryers and extending oil service life by over 30%. Product is carried through the frying zone on a 600 mm wide stainless steel mesh belt at a speed set by frequency-conversion drive, delivering precise frying time regardless of belt load. Five models from 3,500 mm to 8,000 mm belt length cover throughput requirements from medium-volume central kitchen production to industrial IQF chicken nugget and meatball lines — with heating power scaled from 80 kW to 160 kW to match oil volume and production rate.
Temperature is controlled across the full 0–230°C range, with the standard operating band for fried poultry and formed products typically set at 160–190°C. Frying time is adjustable from 20 seconds (for pre-set or par-fry applications) to 15 minutes (for full cook-through of thicker products). All models use electrical heating as standard; customised power supply voltage and frequency are available for export markets with non-standard grid specifications.

▌Solution Applications
Solution / Line | Role of MT-CF |
Chicken Nuggets & Patty Line | Final cooking stage after forming and breading. MT-CF-6000 or MT-CF-8000 recommended for industrial nugget lines at 500–1,500 kg/h. Oil-water technology maintains colour consistency across multi-hour production runs — critical for retail packed products where colour uniformity is a buyer specification. |
Meatball Processing Line | Surface setting and colour development after forming. Short frying time (20–60 seconds) at 170–180°C sets the meatball exterior without full cook-through — downstream boiling completes cooking. |
Meat Jerky Line | Pre-cook or surface crust development for jerky product specifications requiring fried-surface texture. |
▌FAQ
Q: How is the model selected based on production capacity?
A: The key selection parameter is the oil volume relative to the required throughput — too small an oil volume relative to throughput causes rapid oil temperature drop on product loading, producing undercooked or unevenly coloured output. As a guide: MT-CF-3500 (300–400L) suits up to approximately 300–400 kg/h of formed chicken products; MT-CF-6000 (550–650L) suits 600–800 kg/h; MT-CF-8000 (750–850L) suits 800–1,200 kg/h. Meatech confirms the correct model for your specific product, throughput, and frying specification at the quotation stage.
Q: Why is power supply listed as "customized"?
A: The MT-CF series is exported to markets with varying grid standards — 220V/60Hz (Americas), 380V/50Hz (Europe, Asia, Middle East), 440V/60Hz (some industrial facilities). The heating element configuration and motor specifications are adjusted to match the installation site's grid voltage and frequency at the manufacturing stage. Specify your local grid standard when ordering.
