Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to, but is not limited to, the field of fried dough stick processing equipment, and particularly to an automatic fried dough stick machine. Background Technology

[0002] Fried dough sticks, a type of deep-fried flour food, are made by placing fermented long strips of dough into a pot of oil and deep-frying them at around 180°C until they turn golden brown.

[0003] In existing automated production processes for fried dough sticks, the prepared dough is placed in a pot of hot oil and then conveyed to immerse the long strips of dough into the oil for frying. This immersion frying method requires a large oil tank volume, resulting in a relatively large amount of cooking oil used. Each time the oil is changed, a large amount of cooking oil is wasted. In addition, the dough sticks are always submerged in oil and there is no mechanism to turn them over properly, resulting in a high oil content and affecting the taste of the dough sticks.
