Gas fryer CASTA L9/FLG1V17

The CASTA L9/FLG1V17 is a professional gas fryer designed for commercial kitchens. This unit features two 17-litre tanks, each constructed from 1.5 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel. The tanks are pressed from a single piece, incorporating rounded edges and a large, rounded bowl in the top table to create a wide area for oil expansion.

Fryers operate by heating oil to a specific temperature, into which food is then immersed. In this model, heating is achieved through flame tubes situated inside the tank, equipped with internal fins to maximise heat transfer. The burners are designed for high thermal efficiency. Gas supply is regulated by a mechanic valve, with a safety thermocouple also present. The system provides approximately 1.0 kW of power for each litre of oil.

Operation involves controlling the cooking oil temperature via a valve on the gas supply. The maximum working temperature is set at 190 °C. For safety, a thermostat is fitted to interrupt the gas flow if the oil temperature rises above 235 °C. Both the working and safety thermostat bulbs are located within the tank and are protected against impacts.

This fryer is equipped with piezoelectric ignition for the pilot light, powered by an independent battery. The front door is made of AISI 304 stainless steel and features magnetic closing. For ease of cleaning and maintenance, the unit includes an oil-discharging tap made of chromate-brass, which directs oil into a steel bowl fitted with a stainless steel filter.

The fryer stands on adjustable legs, also made from AISI 304 stainless steel. The overall dimensions are 400 mm in length, 900 mm in width, and 850 mm in height. The appliance has a power output of 16.5 kW and weighs 68 kg.
