LOTUS BSD-64EMX Single-Phase Fry Dump with Infra-Red Heater

A fry dump transfers hot chips from the fryer basket directly onto the serving surface without spillage or cooling. The infra-red heater above the worktop keeps the chips at serving temperature while the perforated false-bottom tank below collects any oil or crumbs that drip from the basket, preventing them from reaching the work surface.

The operator lowers the loaded fryer basket into the dump, releases the chips onto the worktop, and withdraws the empty basket. The infra-red element activates automatically, maintaining warmth until the chips are portioned. A perforated false bottom inside the tank allows oil to drain away from the chips, reducing greasiness and keeping the worktop clean.

Fabricated from 18/10 CrNi AISI 304 grade stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish finish, the unit includes a 2 mm thick worktop for durability and chromed details for corrosion resistance. The fixing system secures the dump to the work surface, preventing movement during use.

Controls are minimal: the infra-red heater operates on a single-phase 230 V supply, matching standard UK commercial circuits. The 1.47 kW power rating indicates a low electrical load, suitable for kitchens with existing fryer circuits. The compact footprint of 400 x 600 mm fits between fryers and serving stations, while the 20 kg weight allows repositioning by two staff members without equipment.

Cleaning involves wiping the worktop and chromed surfaces with a damp cloth, removing oil residue from the perforated false-bottom tank, and ensuring the infra-red heater remains free of grease to maintain efficiency. The stainless steel construction resists staining and corrosion, requiring only routine maintenance to preserve appearance and function.

The BSD-64EMX is a single-phase model designed for integration into professional catering setups, positioned in the catalogue under fryer accessories for chip handling.
