CASTA LQ/FRG1V22 Gas Fryer with Cabinet and 21 L Tank

A gas fryer heats cooking oil by burning gas beneath the tank, transferring heat through external heat exchangers. The oil circulates around the food in a basket, cooking it evenly and quickly. External heat exchangers keep the combustion chamber separate from the oil, making the unit easier to clean and improving heat transfer efficiency.

The operator fills the 21 L tank with oil, sets the working temperature on the electric thermostat, and ignites the multi-gas burners. Once the oil reaches the set temperature, the basket is lowered into the tank. A working thermostat maintains the oil temperature, while a safety thermostat cuts off the gas supply if the oil overheats. After frying, the basket is lifted, and the oil drains through a chromed brass tap into a stainless steel receptacle with a filter, allowing the oil to be reused.

The fryer is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, including the tank, doors, and adjustable legs. The tank has rounded edges for uniform oil circulation and a wide residue zone at the bottom for easy cleaning. Surfaces in contact with the combustion chamber are coated with vulcanized silicone paint for high-temperature protection. The unit includes a steel oil draining tank with a stainless steel filter, two baskets, and a lid.

Controls include an electric thermostat for precise temperature regulation, a working thermostat to maintain oil temperature, and a safety thermostat to prevent overheating. The gas supply is managed by an electrically actuated valve system, ensuring uniform heat distribution and rapid response to temperature changes.

A 19.0 kW gas power rating provides sufficient heat output for rapid heating and consistent performance in a professional kitchen. The 21 L capacity allows for frying moderate batches of food without overloading the system. The unit's dimensions of 400 mm depth, 900 mm width, and 850 mm height fit into standard worktop spaces, while adjustable legs ensure stable installation on uneven surfaces.

Cleaning involves draining oil through the chromed brass tap into the stainless steel receptacle, removing food residues from the tank's wide bottom zone, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The external heat exchangers simplify access for maintenance, and the magnetic door closure allows easy access to internal components.

The fryer is supplied with baskets, a lid, and an oil draining tank, all designed for professional use. The catalogue places this model in the gas fryer section for commercial kitchens requiring efficient, durable, and safe frying equipment.
