Electric Fryer for ships LOTUS 16090330X

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 far faster than air, sealing the surface of the food while keeping the interior moist. A thermostat maintains the set temperature, while a second safety thermostat cuts power if the first fails, preventing overheating. This method gives crisp results without the fluctuations of a hob or the fuel handling of a gas fryer.

The operator fills the tank with oil to the marked level, then switches the fryer on and sets the desired temperature. Once the oil reaches the set point, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the oil. A timer or visual check determines when the food is ready; the basket is then lifted out and drained over the tank. The lid reduces heat loss and splashing, while the basket holder keeps the basket steady during draining. A drain tap at the base allows oil to be removed for filtering or replacement without tilting the unit.

The fryer is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, with a 1 mm thick top, rounded edges and chrome-plated components. The Scotch-Brite satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches, while IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs allow safe cleaning with a hose. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking system secures the feet in place.

The fryer operates on a 400 V three-phase supply, drawing 7.15 kW. This power level supports rapid recovery of oil temperature after food is added, allowing continuous frying without a drop in performance. The 10 L capacity refers to the volume of oil the tank holds, determining the amount of food that can be fried at once. The fryer weighs 21 kg, light enough for one person to move with care, while its 300 mm depth, 600 mm width and 280 mm height fit on a standard worktop or counter.

The basket measures 200 mm by 300 mm by 100 mm, giving a clear guide to the size of food portions that can be fried at one time. The dual thermostat system includes a primary thermostat for temperature control and a secondary safety thermostat that cuts power if the oil overheats. Overheat protection further guards against damage from prolonged high temperatures.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, then wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The rounded edges and satin finish prevent food debris from sticking, while the water-resistant knobs allow the control panel to be rinsed without risk of damage. The fryer is available in single or double tank versions, each supplied with basket, lid and basket holder.
