The TB-FR5 is a 5-litre gas fryer for small-format commercial frying operations. It processes batches of chips, chicken, and battered foods in takeaways, food trucks, and mobile catering setups. The integrated flame failure device cuts gas supply if the pilot flame extinguishes.
Commercial Application
This unit sits on countertops or service tables in operations where floor space is limited. It handles continuous batch frying during lunch and dinner service in takeaways and mobile food businesses. The removable basket allows operators to drain and plate fried products without interrupting the next batch.
During peak service, the 5-litre capacity supports batches of 600-800 grams of chips or 4-6 pieces of battered fish. Oil temperature recovery time between batches determines hourly throughput. The tabletop footprint fits food truck service windows and temporary event setups where gas connection is via standard propane bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fryer run on natural gas instead of LPG?
A: The TB-FR5 is configured for LPG at factory. Conversion to natural gas requires jet replacement and regulator adjustment. Contact TurcoBazaar technical team for natural gas conversion kit and installation guidance.
Q: What are the internal dimensions of the frying basket?
A: The stainless steel basket measures approximately 18 × 14 × 10 cm internal volume. This accommodates 600-800g of chips or 4-6 pieces of battered fish per batch.
Q: How does the flame failure device work?
A: A thermocouple monitors pilot flame temperature. If the flame extinguishes, the thermocouple cools and closes the gas solenoid valve within 60 seconds. Manual reset is required to restore gas flow.
Q: Is this fryer suitable for food truck installation?
A: The 53 cm width and 6 kg weight fit standard food truck service shelves. LPG connection via UK propane regulator allows operation from portable gas bottles. Ensure adequate ventilation per local mobile catering regulations.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration procedure?
A: Allow oil to cool below 50°C before removal. Lift out the oil tank and pass contents through commercial fryer filter paper or fine mesh strainer. Clean the tank interior with degreaser before refilling.
