Electric fryer LOTUS 09090831X

An electric fryer with two independent oil tanks and an integrated neutral cabinet keeps fried and held items separate in a single worktop footprint. Each tank heats oil with submerged elements; the heat transfers directly into the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. A thermostat in each tank maintains the set frying temperature, while a second safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats, preventing fire and oil breakdown. The fryer's high power rating drives rapid recovery between batches, so the oil temperature stays stable even when multiple baskets are lowered at once.

The operator loads each basket with food, lowers it into the pre-heated oil, and sets the timer. A visual and audible alarm sounds when the cycle finishes, and the basket is lifted out. The neutral cabinet below provides dry storage at ambient temperature, keeping cooked items warm and ready for plating without further cooking. Two drip trays with mesh screens sit beneath the tanks, collecting oil and food debris for easy disposal.

The unit is built from 2 mm 18/10 CrNi AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, rounded edges, and chrome-plated details. The rear panel is fully enclosed for safety, and the control handles are IPX5-rated for water resistance. Rotating heating elements swing out for cleaning, and the front control panel lifts off to expose all internal parts. Adjustable feet level the fryer on uneven floors.

The 44 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V three-phase supply, typical of large commercial kitchens. The 800x900x900 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the 114 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people. Each tank holds 25 litres of oil, allowing simultaneous frying of different items without flavour transfer. The 50 kg/h capacity supports high-volume service, such as pubs, canteens or event catering.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the baskets, drip trays and mesh screens, then swinging out the heating elements. The front panel lifts off to reach the interior, and all parts are washed in hot soapy water or a commercial degreaser. The oil filter tray simplifies oil changes, and the chrome-plated components resist corrosion.

The model is available in single-tank and dual-tank configurations. This version includes two fryer tanks, a neutral cabinet, four baskets, lids, a tank filter and basket supports. The fryer is listed in the LOTUS professional catering range under heavy-duty frying equipment.
