Electric fryer MBM MFRE94A

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a set temperature, then holds it steady while a basket of food is lowered into the oil. The hot oil transfers heat rapidly and evenly, cooking the food through without drying it out. A thermostat cycles the heating elements to maintain the chosen temperature, while a safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats. The large cold zone beneath the heating elements collects food particles, preventing them from burning and extending the usable life of the oil.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 900 is loaded by filling the 18 L stainless steel tank with oil up to the marked level. The operator sets the desired temperature on the thermostatic control, then switches the unit on. Once the oil reaches the set point, a signal indicates the fryer is ready. The basket is filled with food, lowered into the oil, and timed manually or by observation. After cooking, the basket is lifted out and drained over the tank. A front drainer collects excess oil, and a stainless steel filter in the oil collection tank traps particles when the oil is changed.

The fryer is constructed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, 1 mm thick, with continuous welding and rounded corners on the tank to prevent food and oil from collecting. The tank is fixed to the worktop with welded seams, making it stable and easy to clean. Armoured stainless steel heating elements inside the tank tilt outwards for thorough cleaning. A large cold zone beneath the elements reduces oil degradation, and a safety thermostat ensures the oil temperature stays within safe limits.

Controls include a thermostatic temperature regulator that sets the oil temperature between 90 °C and 190 °C, and a safety thermostat that cuts power if the oil overheats. The unit operates on a 400 V three-phase supply, drawing 16 kW of power, which requires a dedicated circuit in a professional kitchen. The 18 L oil volume allows batch frying of larger items without overcrowding, while the 56 kg weight ensures stability on the worktop but may require two people to move.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the outlet system into the collection tank, then tilting the heating elements outwards to access the tank interior. The rounded corners and continuous welding simplify wiping down surfaces, and the stainless steel construction resists corrosion from oil and cleaning agents.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 900 is a single-tank fryer with no additional variants listed. It is categorised under professional electric fryers in the MBM range.
