The SEGORO fried rice unit consists of: a set of heaters with gas energy, equipped with an electric fire starter, a 12 Volt DC motor that drives the stirrer and rotates the Wok, equipped with a relevant wok, equipped with a gas handle valve. Analysis results: (1) one processing batch for 15-20 portions; (2) processing time from 12 minutes to 7 minutes, productivity increased up to 2x; (3) conventionally workers work tiringly and produce a lot of sweat. ‘SEGORO’ fried rice machine, equipped with an electric stirrer motor and Wok turning motor does not require high physical effort, and is not tiring. In conclusion, the Segoro fried rice machine uses little electricity, low voltage, saves gas and physical energy, its operation is driven by a stirrer motor, and is equipped with a wok turning motor whose speed can be adjusted. The Segoro fried rice machine is made from stainless steel 304, it is more hygienic and meets food-grade standards, and the quality of the processed product is more stable.
