Chip Scuttle Commercial Chip Scuttle Chip Scuttle Warmer 4 KG / 1000 W

Q: What is the oil drain collection capacity of the removable tray?

A: The drain tray collects approximately 0.5 litres of residual oil that runs off product during holding. It slides out from beneath the sloped plate for emptying and cleaning between service periods. Operators typically empty it once per shift depending on product oil content.

Q: Can the heat lamp intensity be adjusted for different fried products?

A: The dial thermostat controls lamp output from approximately 40% to 100% of the 1000 W capacity. Lower settings suit delicate products like battered fish, while full output maintains crispness in thicker-cut chips. Adjustment is made during service without interrupting holding.

Q: What are the basket dimensions and how does product transfer from fryer to scuttle?

A: The scuttle has no internal basket—product is transferred directly from fryer baskets after draining. The 295 mm width accepts standard chip portions spread across the sloped plate. Operators use tongs or scoops to distribute product evenly beneath the lamp.

Q: Is the unit suitable for mobile food truck installation?

A: The 6.5 kg weight and 240V single-phase power requirement suit fixed installations in trucks with mains hookup or generator supply. The unit must be secured to the counter to prevent movement during transit. Vibration during road transport does not affect the heating element or thermostat.

Q: How is the scuttle cleaned at the end of service?

A: The tank lifts out after cooling, and the drain plate slides free for sink washing with standard degreaser. The lamp housing wipes clean with a damp cloth—do not immerse electrical components. All stainless steel parts are dishwasher-safe if commercial machine capacity permits.
