This offer ends in:
The HEF132V operates two independent 13-litre oil tanks at 6 kW total output. Each basin runs at 3 kW with temperature control from 50°C to 190°C. Handles continuous batch frying in takeaway kitchens, fish and chip shops, and mobile catering units.
Commercial Application
This unit sits on the countertop within the frying station. The twin-tank layout allows simultaneous frying of different products or staging batches to maintain output during peak service. Temperature recovery between loads determines how many portions the kitchen can push through each hour.
One tank holds battered fish while the other processes chips or chicken. Operators switch baskets between tanks to maintain service flow. The 635 mm width fits into compact prep areas without blocking adjacent equipment.
Key Operational Advantages
- 26 litres total oil capacity across two independent tanks

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the basket dimensions and usable oil capacity per tank?
A: Each 13-litre tank provides approximately 10–11 litres of usable frying oil when filled to safe operating level. Basket dimensions are typically 300 x 180 x 120 mm but should be verified with supplier before purchase if specific product sizing is critical.
Q: Can this fryer run in a food truck or mobile catering van?
A: Yes. The 18 kg weight and 635 mm width suit food truck countertops. Requires 230V single-phase supply and adequate ventilation. Secure the unit to prevent movement during transit.
Q: How do I drain and clean the oil tanks?
A: Each tank has a drain valve at the base. Open valve over a collection container when oil is cool. Wipe interior with degreaser after draining. Some operators filter and reuse oil; others dispose after service volume or visual degradation.
Q: What electrical supply does this unit require?
A: 230V single-phase at 6 kW total load. Each 3 kW element draws approximately 13 amps. Verify your kitchen circuit can handle 26 amps combined or split tanks across two circuits if needed.
Q: How long does oil take to reach 180°C from cold?
A: Approximately 12–15 minutes per tank from ambient to 180°C with 3 kW heating. Time varies with starting oil temperature and ambient conditions. Preheat both tanks before service begins.
