The Donut Robot® Mark VI automatic fryer forms part of Belshaw's
Mark VI Production System, the unique alternative to traditional
donut frying. Compared with open kettle frying, the Mark VI system
makes donut production faster and easier, with reduced labor cost.
Less training is required to work the system efficiently, and more
consistent quality is attainable. The automatic fryer can reduce
shortening consumption by up to 50% compared to standard fryers.
It provides identical frying conditions for each donut without an
operator standing over the fryer and inserting, turning and lifting
donuts out manually. Instead, it allows the operator to perform other
tasks.
CAKE AND YEAST-RAISED DONUTS
Cake donuts: The Mark VI system produces top quality cake
•
donuts, using one of 2 methods, which can be chosen at the time of
purchase:
- Dual Donut Robot depositor – automatic, for Ring donuts only, or
- Belshaw Type F electric depositor – hand operated for a full
variety of cake donuts, including Crullers, Sticks, Krinkles, and
more
There is no sacrifice in product quality ~ both cake and yeast-raised
donuts can equal or surpass the best donuts made by standard kettle
fryers.
Yeast-raised donuts: The Mark VI produces excellent yeast-raised
•
donuts, using its accessory Feed Table, Trays and Cloths to insert the
donuts into the fryer. In addition to Ring donuts, these can include
Berliners (or 'Bismarcks'), Bars ('Long Johns'), Twists and Fritters up
to 3¾ inches (9.5 mm) in width.

'STANDARD' AND 'DEEP' MODELS
Mark VI Standard: The standard Mark VI is designed for full size
•
donuts up to 3½ inches (89 mm) in width. This can include Twists
and Long Johns as well as Ring Donuts and Bismarcks. Flight bars
are spaced every 3¾ inches (95 mm).
Mark VI Deep: The 'Deep' model Mark VI is designed to
•
accomodate extra large donuts up to 4¼ inches (108mm) in width.
Flight bars are spaced every 4½ inches (114 mm). This model is
designated "Deep" because of the extra kettle depth needed for a
larger turner. The Mark VI Deep can also accomodate 2 turners when
required. The second turner can be inserted or removed quickly as
required (usually for French Cruller or 'Old Fashion' donuts).
