Available Options
The drn8+8 is a countertop LPG fryer with dual 8-litre tanks and independent basket controls. It delivers 11 kW total heating power for continuous batch frying in takeaway restaurants, fish and chip shops, and food trucks. Each tank operates with an 8-step thermostat ranging from 110°C to 190°C.
Commercial Application
This unit handles parallel batch production during peak service hours. Two operators can work simultaneously on separate product lines—one basket for battered fish, the other for chips or chicken. Independent temperature zones prevent flavour transfer between product types.
During evening rush periods, the dual-tank configuration maintains output flow while one basket drains. The 11 kW burner system recovers oil temperature within 90 seconds between batches. Continuous operation runs for 4-6 hours without cooldown intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the drn8+8 operate on natural gas or only LPG?
A: This model is configured for LPG operation with a 37 mbar regulator. Natural gas conversion requires a different orifice jet and regulator adjustment performed by a gas-safe technician. TurcoBazaar can supply conversion kits upon request.
Q: What are the internal basket dimensions and maximum load weight per tank?
A: Each basket measures approximately 24 × 18 × 10 cm and holds 3-4 kg of product depending on density. Oil displacement limits maximum load to prevent overflow during immersion. Basket capacity supports 12-15 portions of battered fish or 6-8 portions of bone-in chicken per cycle.
Q: Does the flame failure device cut gas supply automatically?
A: Yes, the FFD thermocouple detects pilot flame temperature. If the pilot extinguishes, the electromagnetic valve closes the gas line within 60 seconds. Manual reset via the control knob is required to restore operation.
Q: Can this fryer be installed in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?
A: The 19 kg weight and countertop format suit mobile installations with adequate ventilation and LPG supply. Secure the unit to prevent movement during transport. Local regulations may require external venting and fire suppression equipment in enclosed vehicles.
Q: How is oil filtered and how often should tanks be drained for cleaning?
A: Each tank has a bottom drain valve for oil transfer to external filtration or disposal containers. Filter oil daily in high-volume operations or every 40-50 batch cycles. Full tank cleaning with degreaser is recommended weekly or when oil shows carbon buildup on tank walls.
