BHS-G Electric Fryer with Cold Zone & Electronic Control

A single 21 L vat heats frying oil while a cold zone beneath the element keeps food debris from scorching on the tank bottom. The oil stays cleaner, lasts longer and needs less filtering between batches.

The fryer heats the oil with an electric element submerged below the working level. A cold zone forms where the oil is cooler near the tank floor, so crumbs and batter fall through the basket and settle without burning. This reduces off-flavours and extends the life of the oil. The deep-drawn AISI 304 stainless steel tank holds the oil and resists corrosion, while the rounded edges and embossed top plate make wiping down the exterior quick and thorough.

To start, the operator fills the tank to the marked level, closes the drain valve and sets the desired temperature on the electronic panel. The control displays the current oil temperature and allows precise adjustment from 110 °C to 190 °C. A timer can be programmed for each batch; when the countdown ends, an audible alarm sounds. The solid frying fat melting function gently warms the oil to liquefy solidified fat before normal frying begins. Standby mode reduces energy use when the fryer is not in active service.

The fryer is loaded by lowering the basket into the hot oil. The basket measures 140 mm deep, 400 mm long and 120 mm high, matching the vat dimensions. After frying, the basket is lifted out and drained over the tank. Used oil is removed through the drain valve at the base, which directs the oil into a container fitted with a filter to catch debris.

The appliance body is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, with a high chimney that prevents oil vapour from entering the interior. Rounded corners and an embossed top plate simplify cleaning, while the hair-joint connection system allows seamless alignment with other GORT LINE 900 units for a continuous worktop. Height-adjustable round legs ensure stability on uneven floors, and additional thermal protection prevents the oil from overheating.

The 21 kW power rating requires a dedicated three-phase circuit, which is typical for professional fryers of this capacity. The temperature range of 110 °C to 190 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat frying, allowing the fryer to handle delicate items like fish as well as robust chips and battered products. The 400 mm width, 930 mm depth and 850 mm to 1040 mm height give a compact footprint that fits standard worktop layouts while leaving room for the chimney to vent safely.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, wiping down the tank and exterior, and rinsing the basket. The drain valve and filter container simplify oil changes, and the smooth stainless steel surfaces resist staining and allow quick sanitisation. The electronic control panel is wiped with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the display.

This model is part of the GORT LINE 900 series and connects smoothly with other units in the range. The appliance is CE approved and tested for professional use.
