Have you ever wondered how those crispy, golden chicken nuggets you find in Russian supermarkets or fast-food chains are made?
Behind every delicious bite is a chicken nugget production line — a fully automated system that turns fresh chicken breast into perfectly coated, fried, and frozen nuggets ready for sale.
For food processors in Russia, investing in a high-efficiency chicken nuggets production line means higher output, lower labor costs, and a stronger position in the booming ready-to-eat food market.
Main Equipment in the Chicken Nuggets Production Line
A complete chicken nuggets processing line integrates several core machines to ensure uniform size, perfect coating, and long shelf life. Let’s explore each stage of the process:
Chicken Breast Cutting Machine
Fresh chicken breasts are first processed through a chicken breast cutting machine, which automatically slices the meat into uniform cubes or strips.
Precision cutting ensures consistent portion sizes — an essential factor for fast-food chains and retail packaging in Russia.
Meat Screening Machine
Next, the meat pieces are conveyed to a meat chunk screening machine.
This step separates oversized or undersized pieces to maintain product uniformity. Only pieces within the correct range continue down the line, ensuring smooth downstream processing.
Sauce Battering Machine
The prepared chicken chunks enter the sauce battering machine, where they are evenly coated with seasoned batter or marinade.
This not only enhances flavor but also improves adhesion for the next coating layer — a must for juicy, flavorful nuggets that appeal to Russian consumers.
Flour Coating Machine
After battering, the chicken passes through the flour coating machine, which dusts each piece evenly with dry flour or breadcrumbs.
This layer locks in moisture and creates the signature crispy crust after frying — ideal for frozen nuggets in Russia’s cold-chain market.
Continuous Frying Machine
The coated chicken pieces then enter the continuous oil fryer, made of food-grade stainless steel and equipped with precise temperature control.
This machine ensures uniform frying, golden color, and lower oil absorption. Its energy-saving design reduces fuel and oil costs by up to 30%, which is especially valuable for large-scale Russian factories.
Air Cooling Machine
After frying, nuggets pass through an air cooling machine to remove excess oil and lower the product temperature before freezing or packaging.
This step ensures product stability, prevents sogginess, and maintains the crisp texture that Russian consumers love.
