Electric Fryer for ships LOTUS 06090430X

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a consistent temperature, allowing food to cook quickly and evenly in a wire basket lowered into the oil. The oil transfers heat rapidly, creating a crisp exterior while sealing moisture inside. A thermostat maintains the set temperature, preventing fluctuations that can lead to undercooked or greasy results. Overheat protection cuts power if the oil exceeds safe limits, while a safety thermostat provides a secondary safeguard. The process is continuous, with batches loaded and removed in sequence, making it suitable for high-volume service where speed and consistency matter.

To operate the LOTUS F13-64ETX, fill the tank with oil to the marked level, then plug the unit into a 400 V 3-phase supply. Set the desired temperature using the water-resistant control knob, and allow the oil to heat. Once the indicator shows the temperature is reached, lower the basket into the oil using the chrome-plated holder. Load the basket with food, ensuring even distribution to avoid overcrowding. After the set cooking time, lift the basket and allow excess oil to drain before transferring the food to a tray. The lid can be closed when the fryer is not in use to reduce heat loss and protect the oil from debris. A built-in drain tap allows oil to be removed for filtering or replacement without tilting the unit.

The fryer is constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The worktop is 1 mm thick with rounded edges, reducing the risk of damage to surfaces or hands. Chrome-plated components, including the basket holder, resist wear and maintain a professional appearance. The control knobs are rated IPX5, protecting against low-pressure water jets during cleaning. Adjustable feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, while a locking system secures the fryer in place to prevent movement during use.

A power rating of 10.95 kW indicates the load on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 400 V 3-phase circuit capable of handling the demand without tripping. The 13 L oil volume determines the maximum batch size, while the basket dimensions of 210x300x100 mm set the usable space for food. A throughput of 10 kg per hour reflects the fryer's capacity for continuous frying, balancing speed with quality. The unit's footprint of 400x600 mm fits into standard worktop layouts, while its 52 kg weight requires two people to move safely, though the adjustable feet allow it to be positioned without lifting once in place.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the built-in tap, then removing the basket, lid and basket holder for washing. The stainless steel tank can be wiped down with a non-abrasive cloth, while the Scotch-Brite satin finish resists scratches and hides minor marks. Removable components simplify access to corners and crevices, reducing the risk of oil residue build-up. The IPX5-rated knobs can be cleaned with a damp cloth without risk of water ingress.

The F13-64ETX is available with a single or double frying tank, each supplied with a basket, lid and holder. The single-tank version is suited to kitchens with moderate frying demands or space constraints, while the double-tank model allows different foods to be fried simultaneously at separate temperatures.

This fryer is categorised under professional electric fryers in the LOTUS range, designed for intensive use in commercial kitchens.
