Single-tank electric fryer with 8 litre oil capacity and 3.25kW heating element. Processes continuous batches of fried foods in takeaway restaurants, fish and chip shops, burger kitchens, and mobile catering units. Countertop installation requires standard 230V single-phase supply.
Commercial Application
Positioned at the frying station for batch production during service periods. Temperature range of 60°C to 200°C covers blanching, par-frying, and high-temperature finish frying. Single operator handles basket loading, frying cycles, and product retrieval without leaving the station.
8 litre tank handles 12-15 portions of chips, 8-10 fish fillets, or 20-25 chicken pieces per cycle depending on product density. Recovery time between batches determines throughput during peak hours. One basket included for standard batch operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the basket dimensions and how much product fits per cycle?
A: Basket dimensions accommodate approximately 1.5 kg of chips, 1 kg of fish fillets, or 1.2 kg of chicken pieces per frying cycle. Actual capacity depends on product size and required oil circulation space. Overloading reduces oil temperature and extends frying time.
Q: Is this unit suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, 7 kg weight and 325mm width fit standard food truck counters. Requires dedicated 230V circuit with appropriate amperage for 3.25kW load. Secure mounting recommended for mobile operation to prevent movement during transit.
Q: What is the oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: Drain oil through tap into collection container when tank reaches room temperature. Remove heating element cover and wipe tank interior with commercial degreaser. Filter drained oil through fine mesh before returning to tank or dispose according to waste oil regulations.
Q: How long does temperature recovery take between batches?
A: 3.25kW element recovers from 160°C to 180°C in approximately 2-3 minutes with 8 litres of oil. Recovery time increases with higher oil volume or lower starting temperature. Temperature stability depends on ambient conditions and product loading frequency.
Q: What electrical connection does this fryer require?
A: 230V single-phase supply with minimum 16A circuit breaker. 3.25kW load draws approximately 14A at full power. Consult qualified electrician for cable sizing and circuit protection appropriate to your installation location and local electrical codes.
