BHS-G Electric Fryer with Cold Zone – 21 Litre Tank

An electric fryer that keeps oil clean by trapping food debris below the heating element. The cold zone beneath the basket collects fallen particles so they do not burn, discolour the oil or taint the next batch of chips, fish or doughnuts.

The fryer heats a 21 litre tank of oil with an immersed element. A thermostat cycles the power to hold the temperature steady between 110 and 190 °C, letting the operator choose the setting for delicate or robust frying. An indicator light shows when the element is active, and an over-temperature cut-out prevents the oil from rising above the safe limit.

To start, the operator fills the tank to the marked level, sets the dial to the desired temperature and waits for the light to go out. The basket, sized to fit the 21 litre volume, is lowered into the hot oil. When the food is golden, the basket is lifted, drained over the tank and emptied onto a tray. A drain valve at the base lets the oil run into a container with a built-in filter, ready for storage or reuse.

The tank is deep-drawn from AISI 304 stainless steel, giving a seamless interior that resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean. The top plate is embossed to shed spills, and all edges and corners are rounded for quick sanitation. A tall chimney directs fumes upward, keeping the kitchen air clearer and reducing grease build-up inside the appliance.

Electromechanical controls consist of a rotary knob for temperature and an indicator light. The knob adjusts the thermostat smoothly, while the light confirms that power is reaching the element. Additional thermal protection shuts off the element if the oil overheats.

The 21 kW power rating means the fryer requires a dedicated circuit capable of supplying the full load without tripping. The temperature range of 110 to 190 °C covers everything from gentle blanching to rapid frying of frozen products. The overall footprint of 400 mm front-to-back and 930 mm side-to-side fits a standard worktop, while the height of 850 mm to the top of the control panel (1040 mm to the chimney) allows it to stand beneath most extractor hoods. Adjustable round legs let the operator level the unit on uneven floors.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, wiping the tank and top plate, and rinsing the basket. The drain valve and filter container simplify oil changes, and the rounded corners prevent trapped debris. The high chimney and smooth interior surfaces reduce the need for deep scrubbing.

The fryer is designed to connect seamlessly with other GORT LINE 900 units, creating a continuous counter line in a professional kitchen. The appliance body is made of the same high-quality stainless steel as the tank, ensuring durability and a uniform appearance.
