The HEF12L is a single-tank electric fryer with 12 litre oil capacity and 3.25kW heating element. It operates on 230V single-phase power at temperatures from 60°C to 200°C. Takeaway restaurants, fish and chip shops, and food trucks use it for continuous batch frying during peak service.
Commercial Application
Positioned at the frying station, this unit handles batch production of chips, chicken, fish, and battered products. The 12 litre tank processes multiple portions per batch. Temperature recovery between batches determines throughput during rush periods.
During evening service, operators load pre-portioned product into the basket and submerge into heated oil. The 3.25kW element maintains working temperature across repeated cycles. A single operator can manage multiple batches per hour without external assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the basket dimensions and oil capacity?
A: The HEF12L holds 12 litres of oil. One frying basket is included. Basket dimensions accommodate standard portion sizes for chips, chicken pieces, and battered fish.
Q: Can this fryer be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, if the vehicle has 230V single-phase supply and adequate ventilation. The 10kg weight and 290mm width suit mobile installations. Secure mounting prevents movement during transit.
Q: How is oil filtration performed on this model?
A: The unit does not have integrated filtration. Operators drain oil via the front tap into external containers. Manual filtering through mesh or paper removes debris before oil is returned to the tank.
Q: What is the oil heating time from cold start?
A: The 3.25kW element heats 12 litres of oil from ambient to 180°C in approximately 15–20 minutes. Pre-heating is required before service begins.
Q: What cleaning procedure is recommended?
A: Drain oil completely and wipe the tank with commercial degreaser. The stainless steel interior tolerates standard detergent solutions. Daily cleaning extends oil life and maintains hygiene standards.
