This offer ends in:
The HDF8 processes batches of fried foods in an 8-litre oil tank using 3.25kW electric heating. Designed for takeaway kitchens, fish and chip shops, and food trucks operating continuous service cycles. Handles up to 8.5 kg of chilled chips per hour during peak demand periods.
Commercial Application
This unit sits on the frying station counter during service and maintains oil temperature between batches. Operators drop product, drain, and repeat without moving the fryer. The drainage tap simplifies end-of-shift oil transfer and cleaning without lifting the tank.
During lunch or dinner rushes, temperature recovery speed between batches determines throughput. The 3.25kW element brings 8 litres back to frying temperature quickly enough for continuous operation. Single-phase 220-240V connection runs from a standard 13A UK plug.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the HDF8 have a gas-fired option or LPG conversion?
A: No. The HDF8 is electric-only and operates on 220-240V single-phase power. Gas or LPG fryers require separate models with burner assemblies and flame failure devices.
Q: What are the internal basket dimensions and maximum batch size?
A: The oil tank measures 325x265x200mm internally and holds 8 litres. One basket is included with a 240mm handle. Maximum throughput is 8.5 kg of chilled chips per hour under continuous operation.
Q: Does this fryer include a flame failure device or gas safety valve?
A: No. The HDF8 is an electric fryer with no gas components. Electric models use thermostat cut-off for temperature safety, not flame failure devices.
Q: Can the HDF8 be installed in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?
A: Yes. The 8 kg weight and countertop footprint suit mobile installations. Secure mounting and a stable 220-240V supply are required. Drainage tap simplifies oil disposal in mobile operations.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: Use the drainage tap to transfer oil into a filtration container at end of service. Wipe the tank interior while empty. Filter oil through fine mesh or commercial filtration paper before returning to the tank or disposing according to local regulations.
