The TB-FR5 is a 5-litre tabletop gas fryer built for batch frying in takeaway and mobile catering operations. It runs on LPG and includes a flame failure device that cuts gas flow if the pilot flame extinguishes. The unit measures 50 × 30 × 40 cm and weighs 6 kg, making it suitable for food trucks and compact frying stations.
Commercial Application
This fryer sits on countertops or stainless work surfaces in takeaway kitchens, burger shops, and food trucks. The 5-litre oil capacity handles continuous batch production of chips, chicken, fish, and doughnuts during peak service hours. Operators load baskets, fry product, drain, and repeat without downtime between batches.
Oil temperature recovery between batches determines throughput in high-volume service. The gas burner maintains frying temperature across consecutive loads. Operators monitor oil condition and filter debris between service periods to maintain product quality and extend oil life.
Key Operational Advantages

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the TB-FR5 operate on natural gas or LPG only?
A: The TB-FR5 is configured for LPG operation. Conversion to natural gas requires replacement of the burner jet and regulator adjustment. Contact TurcoBazaar for natural gas jet kits and conversion guidance if required.
Q: What are the internal basket dimensions and maximum load weight?
A: The frying basket measures approximately 18 × 16 × 10 cm and accommodates 1-2 kg of product per batch depending on density. Overloading reduces oil temperature recovery speed and extends frying time.
Q: How does the flame failure device prevent gas leaks?
A: A thermocouple monitors the pilot flame continuously. If the flame extinguishes, the thermocouple cools and signals the gas valve to close within seconds, preventing unburned gas release.
Q: Is the TB-FR5 suitable for installation in food trucks?
A: Yes. The 6 kg weight and tabletop footprint suit mobile catering setups. Secure the unit to the work surface and connect to an LPG cylinder with appropriate regulator and flexible hose compliant with local codes.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: Filter oil daily through fine mesh or paper filter to remove debris. Drain and replace oil when it darkens, foams excessively, or develops off-flavours. Clean the tank with hot water and degreaser after draining.
