Electric Fryer for ships LOTUS 18090430X

A commercial fryer built for continuous use in professional kitchens. An electric element raises the oil to the chosen temperature, with heat distributed evenly throughout the vat. The fryer holds the oil at a constant temperature, ensuring food cooks quickly and evenly without absorbing too much oil. A secondary safety thermostat disconnects power if the oil becomes too hot, reducing fire risk and helping the oil last longer.

The operator places food in the basket and lowers it into the hot oil, frying until the timer indicates it is done. A lid can be closed to minimise splashing and retain heat when the fryer is not in use. Once frying is complete, the basket is lifted, drained, and emptied onto a drip tray or work surface. A tap at the base of the vat allows oil to be drained for cleaning or changing without tilting the unit.

Constructed from 18/10 grade AISI 304 stainless steel, the fryer resists corrosion, high temperatures, and cleaning chemicals. The exterior features a Scotch-Brite satin finish to conceal fingerprints and minor scratches. Rounded edges and chrome-plated parts enhance durability. Handles are IPX5-rated for water resistance, ensuring safe use with wet hands. Adjustable legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, and a locking mechanism prevents the legs from moving during operation.

Controls include a main thermostat for setting the frying temperature and a safety thermostat that cuts power if the oil exceeds safe limits. Overheat protection provides additional safety against electrical faults. The fryer runs on a three-phase 400/440 V supply and draws 10.95 kW, requiring a dedicated circuit to maintain consistent performance.

The 13 litre capacity indicates the volume of oil the vat can hold, determining the maximum batch size. The basket measures 28 cm by 29 cm, providing the space available for food. The unit weighs 48 kg, so it should be moved with a trolley or by two people. Its dimensions of 400 mm by 705 mm allow it to fit on a standard worktop or as part of a bank of fryers.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, removing the basket and lid, and washing the vat with a non-abrasive pad and detergent. The stainless steel construction allows sanitising with commercial cleaning agents. The Scotch-Brite finish helps hide signs of daily wear. Adjustable legs should be checked regularly to ensure the unit remains stable.

This model is a single-basket fryer with a three-phase electrical supply. It comes with one basket, one lid, and a basket hanger for safe storage.
