LOTUS Confectioner's Fryer 24 Litre FPE-25 for Professional Kitchens

A confectioner's fryer heats a deep, wide vat of oil to transform dough into golden, crisp sweets. Electric sheathed elements beneath the oil transfer heat evenly, while a basket lowers the dough pieces into the oil and lifts them out when done. The shallow, broad tank of the LOTUS FPE-25 is shaped for frying delicate items like churros, doughnuts and fritters without crowding, so each piece cooks at the same rate and colour.

The operator fills the 24 litre tank with oil, sets the operating thermostat to the required temperature and switches the fryer on. Once the oil reaches the set point, the basket is loaded with dough pieces and lowered into the oil. A second, safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats. When the sweets are cooked, the basket is raised and rested on the chromed lift-up bracket to drain. A front oil-drain tap allows the oil to be emptied without tilting the tank, and the entire resistance box can be removed for thorough cleaning.

The fryer is fabricated from 1 mm thick CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish finish. Rounded edges and a rear splash-back protect the worktop, while adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors. Chromed details include the basket rest and lid handles.

The 10.2 kW power rating requires a three-phase 230 V supply, the standard for professional catering equipment that draws heavy loads. The 40 kg weight allows the fryer to be moved with a trolley but is stable once in place. The 800 × 700 × 250 mm footprint fits under standard worktops and leaves space for the basket to be lifted clear.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the resistance box and washing the tank and basket in hot water. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining, while the satin finish hides minor scratches from daily use.

The FPE-25 is supplied with a basket and lids, and is designed solely for sweet frying in professional kitchens.
