LOTUS Electric Fryer 18 Litre Single or Double Tank F18D-64ETX

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil with submerged elements, transferring energy directly into the liquid. The oil then conducts heat evenly around the food in the basket, cooking it quickly and creating a crisp outer layer while sealing moisture inside. Because the oil is held at a consistent temperature, the fryer can maintain a steady throughput without the delays of reheating, making it a continuous production unit for a professional kitchen line.

The operator loads the basket with food, lowers it into the pre-heated oil and sets the timer. A double thermostat controls the operating temperature and cuts power if the oil overheats, while a visual and acoustic alarm sounds if the safety thermostat trips. Once the timer ends, the basket is lifted out, drained and emptied, ready for the next batch.

Fabricated from 18/10 CrNi AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish, the unit has a 2 mm thick worktop and chromed details. The heating element rotates out of the tank for cleaning, and a built-in filter with basket support keeps debris out of the oil. Fixing points on the base allow the fryer to be secured to the floor or worktop.

A 15.9 kW power rating means the fryer requires a 400 V three-phase supply, the standard circuit for heavy-duty catering equipment. The 18 litre oil volume allows a throughput of 15 kg of food per hour, balancing capacity with a compact footprint of 400 mm depth, 600 mm width and 460 mm height. At 30 kg, the unit can be moved by two people and positioned on a worktop or floor stand without structural reinforcement.

Cleaning involves rotating the heating element out of the tank, removing the filter basket and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches, while the chromed details protect high-wear areas from corrosion.

Available in single or double tank configurations, each tank includes its own basket and lid.
