Donut robot systems for mini donuts

09.26.2024

Mini donuts are a growing trend. Donut makers can produce consistent mini donuts with a Donut Robot® Mark II GP model from Belshaw. Donuts are conveyed quickly and smoothly through the fryer and gently dispensed into the Roto-Cooler with minimal operator interaction.

Standing over a kettle fryer not for you? While the Donut Robot® works, you can do other jobs.

Belshaw's Donut Robot® machines allow a single person to produce more donuts, and better-quality donuts than standard frying. Each donut is given the same frying time and is turned over at the same moment, absorbing less fat.

Donut Robot® systems allow a single person to produce a greater number of consistent donuts, while allowing the operator time for other tasks such as finishing (mixing, icing, sprinkling, glazing, sugaring, etc.) and even packaging and selling. 

Cake donut (rings, mini rings, balls/holes) production requires only a mixer and hopper bowl/depositor, while yeast raised donut (rings, shells, bars) production requires a proofer and feed table to manage the rolled and cut products prior to frying. 

With systems available from capacities of 30 dozen (360 pieces) per hour up to 151 dozen (1,812 mini rings) per hour, the Donut Robot® is a clear solution and friend to many donut makers worldwide. Capacities are calculated at 120 seconds frying time, or 90 seconds for mini donuts.
