This offer ends in:
The HEF83A is a 12-litre single-tank electric countertop fryer delivering 5kW heating power at 230V single phase. It processes continuous frying batches in takeaway shops, burger kitchens, and food trucks. Operators run two frying baskets simultaneously within a compact 550mm-wide footprint.
Commercial Application
This unit fits frying stations where floor space is restricted but output volume must remain high. Two 6-litre baskets allow separate product batching—chips in one basket, chicken in the other—without flavour transfer during peak service hours.
During lunch and dinner rushes, the 5kW element maintains oil temperature between basket cycles. Recovery time between batches determines how many portions move through the window each hour. Temperature range spans 60°C to 200°C for varied product requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the basket dimensions and oil capacity per tank?
A: The HEF83A contains a single 12-litre tank divided functionally by two 6-litre-capacity frying baskets. Basket dimensions accommodate standard portion sizes for chips, chicken pieces, and breaded products. Exact basket mesh dimensions are 240mm length × 180mm width × 100mm depth.
Q: Can this fryer operate in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?
A: Yes. The 8kg weight and 550mm width suit mobile installations. You need a stable 230V AC supply—typically from a generator or shore power connection. Secure the unit to the counter surface to prevent movement during transit.
Q: How often should oil be filtered or replaced?
A: Oil filtration frequency depends on frying volume and product type. High-turnover operations filter daily after service or every 30-40 frying cycles. Breaded products contaminate oil faster than plain chips. Drain valves are not fitted; operators decant cooled oil through the top.
Q: What electrical connection does the HEF83A require?
A: The unit runs on 230V single-phase supply drawing 5kW maximum. A dedicated 32A circuit breaker is recommended. Connection requires a qualified electrician to comply with local wiring regulations in the UK, EU, or North America.
Q: Does the fryer include any automatic safety shutoff features?
A: The thermostat provides overheat protection by cutting power if oil exceeds the maximum dial setting. No flame failure device is present because this is an electric-only model. Operators must monitor oil levels to prevent element exposure and burnout.
