The TB-FR8 is an 8-litre LPG gas fryer built for countertop installation in takeaway kitchens and mobile catering units. It processes continuous batches of chips, battered fish, chicken, and fried products during multi-hour service shifts. The integrated flame failure device cuts gas supply if the pilot flame extinguishes.
Commercial Application
Takeaway operators position this unit within arm's reach of prep and packing stations during peak service windows. Oil capacity of 8 litres supports 15–20 portions per batch depending on product type and frying time. Temperature recovery between batches determines overall throughput during busy trade periods.
The fryer runs continuously from opening through close in fish and chip shops, burger kitchens, and food trucks. Operators manage batch cycles while handling orders and packing. The 57 × 32 cm footprint fits tight counter layouts in mobile catering setups and small takeaway premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fryer run on natural gas instead of LPG?
A: The TB-FR8 ships configured for LPG. Conversion to natural gas requires a jet replacement kit and adjustment of the gas valve regulator. A Gas Safe registered engineer must perform the conversion and certify the installation.
Q: What are the internal basket dimensions for this 8-litre capacity?
A: The oil tank measures approximately 25 × 18 cm internally with a working depth of 12 cm. Standard wire baskets for 8-litre fryers fit this tank profile. Basket dimensions should allow clearance for oil circulation around the frying load.
Q: How does the flame failure device operate during service?
A: A thermocouple sensor sits in the pilot flame and generates a small electrical current while heated. If the flame extinguishes, the current stops and the gas valve closes within 60 seconds. Manual reset is required to relight the pilot after a shutdown.
Q: Is this fryer suitable for installation in a food truck?
A: The 6 kg weight and 57 × 32 cm footprint fit standard food truck counter layouts. The unit requires secure mounting to prevent movement during transit. LPG connection must comply with mobile catering gas safety regulations in your jurisdiction.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: Drain and filter oil after each service shift or when sediment accumulates. Allow the tank to cool below 50°C before draining through the valve. Clean the tank interior with commercial degreaser and rinse thoroughly before refilling with fresh or filtered oil.
