This offer ends in:
The DCF22L is a twin-basket gas fryer with a 22-litre single tank, powered by a 21kW burner system. It processes batch frying of chips, fish, chicken, and other high-volume fried items. Designed for takeaway kitchens, fish and chip shops, and food truck operations where continuous output is required.
Commercial Application
This unit sits at the core of the frying station during peak service periods. Two independent baskets allow simultaneous cooking of different products or staggered batch cycles. Operators can manage multiple orders without cross-contamination or flavour transfer between products.
The 21kW gas burner provides rapid oil temperature recovery between batches. High-demand periods require consistent oil temperature to maintain product quality and reduce cook times. The 22-litre capacity supports continuous operation without frequent oil top-ups during service hours.
Key Operational Advantages
- 21kW gas burner delivers rapid heat recovery between frying cycles
- 22-litre oil capacity reduces mid-service refills during peak hours
- Twin chrome baskets enable simultaneous cooking of two product types
- Flame failure device cuts gas supply if pilot flame extinguishes
- 90–200°C thermostat range covers all standard commercial frying temperatures
- Stainless steel construction rated for continuous commercial use

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the DCF22L run on LPG or only natural gas?
A: The unit is supplied configured for natural gas. It can be converted to LPG with a jet kit and regulator adjustment. Contact TurcoBazaar for LPG conversion components if required.
Q: What are the oil capacity and basket dimensions?
A: Total oil capacity is 22 litres in a single tank. Twin chrome baskets are included; exact internal dimensions available on request for product load planning.
Q: Does this fryer include flame failure device protection?
A: Yes. A flame failure device automatically cuts the gas supply if the pilot flame extinguishes. The hi-limit thermostat provides additional overheat protection.
Q: Is the DCF22L suitable for installation in a food truck?
A: Yes, if adequate ventilation and gas supply are in place. Weight is 65 kg; mounting and ventilation must meet mobile catering regulations. Consult a Gas Safe engineer for installation compliance.
Q: What is the oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: This model does not include built-in filtration. Operators drain oil via the drain valve for external filtering or disposal. Daily cleaning requires cooling, draining, and manual tank wipe-down between service periods.
