Authentic Electrode Technology
Industrial Electrode Panko Breadcrumb Line
Produce premium Crustless, Needle-Shape Panko using advanced Ohmic Heating technology. Create the lightest, airiest texture for high-end Tempura with zero crust waste.
The Secret to “Needle” Shape:
Electric Field Baking
Premium Japanese Panko requires a specific “Needle” (Acicular) structure. Traditional ovens bake from the outside in, creating a hard crust and dense center that cannot be pulled into long needles.
Loyal’s Line uses Electrode (Ohmic) Heating. An electric current passes directly through the dough, generating heat internally. This cooks the bread evenly from the inside out.
The result is a soft, white, crustless bread block with elongated air pockets. When pulverized, it shreds into perfect, long needle crumbs that stay crispy longer.
Needle Shape Structure
The unique internal structure of electrode-baked bread allows the pulverizer to “tear” the crumb into long, sliver-like needles, rather than crushing it into powder.
No Crust, No Waste
Traditional Panko requires cutting off the brown crust (up to 30% waste). Electrode baking produces white bread only, ensuring 100% material utilization for the final product.
Less Oil Absorption
The airy, porous structure drains oil effectively during frying. This results in Tempura that is crispy but not greasy, a key requirement for high-end Japanese cuisine.
The Art of Fermentation & Physics
Unlike extrusion, this process relies on yeast fermentation and ohmic heating to create the unique “Crustless White Bread” base.
01
Dough Mixing
High-gluten flour, yeast, and water are mixed. The gluten network development is crucial for the final needle structure.
02
Fermentation
The dough is fermented in a controlled chamber. Yeast creates internal air pockets, which define the future “needle” shape.
03
Electrode Baking
Electric current passes through the dough. The resistance generates heat, cooking the bread from the inside out without forming a crust.
04
Cooling & Aging
The baked bread blocks are cooled. This “stiffens” the structure, making it ready for the tearing process.
05
Pulverizing
Specialized equipment tears the bread along its gluten fibers into long, needle-shaped crumbs (instead of grinding).
06
Drying & Sifting
Crumbs are dried to <12% moisture for shelf stability, then sifted to separate fine powder from premium long needles.
Technology Behind the Needle
This is not standard baking. We use electrode physics and gentle tearing mechanisms to ensure the structural integrity of the long-needle crumb.
The Core Technology
Electrode (Ohmic) Oven
The machine passes an electric current directly through the fermented dough. The resistance generates uniform heat internally, cooking the bread without forming a crust. This ensures 100% white, soft bread ready for processing.

Needle Pulverizer
Standard mills crush bread into powder. Our Panko Pulverizer uses a specialized low-speed tearing mechanism. It gently pulls the bread apart along the gluten fibers, preserving the elongated “needle” shape that defines premium Panko.
Non-Destructive Tearing
Adjustable Needle Length
High-Speed Steel Blades

Fermentation System
The needle shape starts here. Our controlled fermentation room maintains precise humidity and temperature to expand the gluten network. This creates the large, elongated air pockets necessary for the final product’s airy texture.
Temp & Humidity Control
Uniform Airflow
Stainless Steel Trolleys
Consistent Rising
Crispness Lock
Gentle Drying Tunnel
After pulverizing, the moist crumbs are extremely fragile. Our drying tunnel uses a vibration-free conveyor and gentle airflow to remove moisture without breaking the delicate needles, ensuring the final product remains whole and crispy.
Multi-Zone Temp Control
Gentle Air Circulation
Moisture < 12%
Zero Breakage Design
Premium Japanese Texture
The electrode process creates Pure White, high-quality Panko. The lack of crust allows for the production of premium long-needle shapes that extruded lines cannot match.
Premium Long Needle
The gold standard for Tempura Shrimp. These long, sliver-like crumbs create a dramatic, standing texture when fried, maximizing visual appeal.
Standard White Panko
Versatile medium-sized crumbs. Perfect for Tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet) and fish fillets. Provides a lighter, crispier bite than extruded crumbs.
Airy Internal Structure
Electrode baking creates large, elongated air pockets. This porous structure allows oil to drain out quickly after frying, ensuring a non-greasy finish.

Why Choose Loyal?
Electrode baking is a precise science. We prioritize material safety and process control to ensure you produce premium white Panko safely and efficiently.
Titanium Alloy Plates
Ordinary steel plates corrode under electrolysis, contaminating bread. We use Food-Grade Titanium Alloy electrode plates to prevent corrosion and ensure pure, food-safe production.
High-Voltage Safety
Operating at high voltage requires strict safety. Our ovens feature Triple-Layer Insulation and automatic power-off interlocks. If a door is opened, power cuts instantly to protect staff.
Process Formula
The secret to needle shape is fermentation. We provide the complete Panko Formula (yeast/salt/water ratio) and fermentation curve data to help you achieve the perfect honeycomb structure.
95% Heat Efficiency
Direct Ohmic heating means energy is converted to heat inside the dough. Unlike tunnel ovens that waste heat on air and belts, this system achieves ~95% thermal efficiency, lowering OpEx.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Electrode Technology vs. Traditional Baking.
Why choose Electrode Baking over a Traditional Tunnel Oven?
The biggest advantage is Zero Crust Waste. Tunnel ovens bake from the outside in, creating a thick, dark crust that must be cut off (wasting 20-30% of the bread). Electrode baking heats internally, producing 100% white, crustless bread, maximizing your yield and profit.
What kind of flour do I need to make Long Needle Panko?
You must use High Gluten Wheat Flour. The gluten network acts as the “skeleton” of the bread. During the tearing process, strong gluten allows the crumb to stretch into a long needle shape without breaking into powder.
Is the high-voltage electrode process safe for workers?
Yes, absolutely. The system is designed with multiple safety layers. The baking area is fully enclosed with triple insulation. Safety Interlocks automatically cut the power instantly if any door is opened, preventing any risk of electric shock.
Can this machine make Extruded (Hard) Breadcrumbs too?
No. This line is specialized for Light, Needle-Shape Panko. It uses fermentation and baking. Extruded crumbs are made by high-pressure cooking and have a hard, dense texture. If you need both, you need two separate lines.
Is the electricity consumption very high?
While the installed power looks high, the Thermal Efficiency is ~95% because there is no heat loss to the air or conveyor belt (unlike gas ovens). All energy goes directly into cooking the dough, making the cost per kg of product very competitive.
