Electric Fryer for ships LOTUS 09090431X

An electric fryer that combines rapid oil heating with an adjacent neutral cabinet, keeping fried items warm and organised while the next batch cooks. The fryer heats a fixed volume of oil with submerged elements; the neutral cabinet maintains a lower, steady temperature without additional power, using residual heat from the fryer section. This pairing lets the operator transfer baskets directly from oil to holding space, reducing handling and keeping portions at serving temperature until plating.

Two baskets, each sized for a single batch, lower into the oil vat. The operator sets the working temperature on the main thermostat, while a second, independent thermostat monitors for overheating and cuts power if the oil exceeds safe limits. Once the oil reaches the set point, a visual and audible signal confirms readiness. The operator loads the baskets with food, lowers them into the oil, and starts the timer. When the timer expires, the baskets lift automatically, draining oil back into the vat. The operator then slides the baskets into the neutral cabinet, where the residual heat keeps the food warm without further cooking.

The construction is 18/10 CrNi stainless steel throughout, with a 2 mm worktop, rounded edges and satin Scotch-Brite finish for durability and ease of cleaning. Chrome-plated details and a rear protective panel protect against corrosion and wear. The control handles are IPX5-rated for water resistance, allowing safe cleaning with a hose. Two drip trays with strainers sit beneath the vat, collecting oil and food debris for easy disposal. The front control panel lifts away, giving full access to internal components for thorough cleaning. Rotating heating elements simplify vat cleaning by allowing the operator to reach every surface. Adjustable feet ensure the unit sits level on uneven floors, and an oil filter draining pan is included for quick oil changes.

The 22 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400/440 V supply, typical for high-demand commercial kitchen equipment. The 25 litre oil volume supports a throughput of 25 kg of food per hour, suitable for medium to high-volume frying. The 66 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, while the 400x900x900 mm footprint fits into a standard worktop run or can be placed against a wall with rear access. The neutral cabinet is integrated into the same footprint, eliminating the need for separate warming equipment.

Cleaning involves daily oil filtration and strainer emptying, weekly vat and element cleaning, and monthly removal of the control panel for internal access. The rotating elements and removable drip trays reduce the time and effort required for upkeep.

The F25-94ETX is a dual-vat model; single-vat versions are also available. The unit is categorised under professional fryers with integrated neutral cabinets.
