LOTUS Electric Fryer 8+8 L F2/8D-64ETX

The LOTUS F2/8D-64ETX is a professional electric fryer designed for demanding catering environments. This unit features a double tank configuration, with each tank holding 8 litres of oil, providing ample capacity for high-volume frying operations.

Electric fryers operate by heating oil using an immersed heating element. The operator lowers a basket containing food into the hot oil, where the heat from the oil cooks the food. Once cooking is complete, the basket is raised, allowing excess oil to drain back into the tank. The double thermostat system manages the oil temperature for consistent cooking results and includes a safety function to prevent overheating.

The sequence of use involves filling each 8-litre tank with oil. The fryer is then switched on, and the temperature is set using the controls. Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, food is placed in the provided baskets and lowered into the oil. After frying, the baskets are lifted, and the food is removed. The fryer is equipped with baskets and lids.

Constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade Stainless Steel, this fryer offers durability and ease of cleaning, complemented by a Scotch-Brite Satin polish finish and chromed details. The 2 mm thick worktop provides a sturdy surface. For maintenance, the heating element rotates, facilitating easy access to the tank for cleaning. A filter with a basket support is integrated into the tank.

Safety features include a double thermostat, one for operation and a separate overheat safety thermostat. When the safety thermostat intervenes, a visual and acoustic alarm system is activated. The unit also has a fixing system.

The power output of 12 kW indicates the rate at which the fryer consumes electrical energy to heat the oil. The voltage requirement is 400 V, supplied via a 3-phase connection, suitable for commercial kitchens. The dimensions are 400 mm in length, 600 mm in width, and 460 mm in height, defining its footprint. The total weight of the unit is 30 kg.

Cleaning is aided by the rotating heating element and the integrated filter system. The catalogue specifies this model for kitchen equipment for ships and as an electric fryer drop-in for ships. The output is rated at 12 kg/h.
