The DF28L2 is a twin-tank electric fryer with 56 litres total oil capacity and 36kW combined heating power. Each 28-litre tank operates independently with 18kW elements and thermostat control from 50°C to 190°C. Designed for takeaway restaurants, fish and chip shops, and fast food kitchens running continuous frying during peak hours.
Commercial Application
Twin independent tanks allow simultaneous frying of different products without flavour transfer. One tank handles fish while the other processes chips or chicken. Operators switch between tanks to maintain output during oil changes or cleaning.
18kW heating elements per tank provide rapid temperature recovery between batches. Cold zone design at tank base prevents burnt debris from contaminating oil. Basket lifting mechanism and drain taps support end-of-service cleaning without dismantling pipework.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What oil capacity does each tank hold and what are the basket dimensions?
A: Each tank holds 28 litres of oil for a total capacity of 56 litres. Baskets are nickel-coated and sized to match tank dimensions for full submersion frying. Wire mesh debris collectors sit below baskets to protect heating elements.
Q: Can this fryer be installed in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?
A: The unit requires 400V three-phase power supply and weighs 101 kg. Installation in mobile kitchens depends on available electrical supply and structural mounting to handle weight during transit. Consult a commercial vehicle electrician before ordering.
Q: How is oil filtered and what is the cleaning procedure?
A: Drain taps on each tank allow gravity-fed oil transfer into external filtration equipment or disposal containers. Heating elements lift on frames for direct access to tank interiors. Cold zones prevent burnt debris from bonding to tank surfaces during operation.
Q: What electrical supply does this fryer require?
A: The DF28L2 operates on 400V three-phase power with 36kW total consumption (18kW per tank). Installation requires commercial kitchen electrical infrastructure with appropriate circuit protection and earthing. A qualified electrician must perform all wiring and commissioning.
Q: Does the fryer have automatic safety cutoff features?
A: Each tank has a 230°C hi-limiter that cuts power if oil temperature exceeds safe operating range. Thermostats control normal operation between 50°C and 190°C. No flame failure device is present as this is an electric-only appliance.
