The AFR002 is an 8-litre single-tank electric fryer built for continuous batch frying in compact commercial kitchens. It operates on 3000W single-phase power at 220V-240V. Takeaway operators and food truck kitchens use it for chips, chicken, and battered products during peak service.
Commercial Application
This unit sits within the frying station and processes repeated batches throughout service. The 8-litre oil capacity handles portion-sized loads for takeaway orders. Temperature recovery between batches determines how quickly the next load can drop.
During peak periods, the fryer runs continuously with basket rotation every 3-5 minutes depending on product type. The 3000W heating element restores oil temperature between drops. Countertop footprint is 265x450x360mm.
