LOTUS Electric Fryer F13-64ET for Professional Kitchens

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil with submerged elements, circulating the heat evenly through the tank. The basket lowers into the hot oil, cooking food quickly while sealing the surface for a crisp finish. This method transfers heat faster than air, so large batches are ready in minutes without drying out. The oil volume and heating power determine how much food can be cooked at once and how quickly the temperature recovers after each load.

The operator fills the 13 L tank with fresh oil, then sets the dual thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oil reaches the set point, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the tank. A timer or visual check signals when the food is done; the basket is lifted, drained and emptied. The lid reduces heat loss and splashing, while the basket holder keeps the basket steady during draining. When the service is finished, the built-in drain tap empties the oil for filtering or disposal.

The fryer is built from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The worktop is 1 mm thick with rounded edges, and chrome-plated components resist corrosion. IPX5-rated control knobs withstand water jets during cleaning. The tank, basket, lid and basket holder are removable for thorough cleaning. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking system secures the fryer in place during use.

The 10.95 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase circuit, the standard supply for heavy-duty catering equipment. The 13 L oil volume allows consistent frying without frequent refills, while the 10 kg/h capacity matches the output of a busy service. The 52 kg weight means the fryer can be moved with a trolley but is stable once positioned. The 400 × 600 mm footprint fits on a standard worktop, leaving space for preparation alongside.

After each service, the tank, basket and lid are removed and washed. The drain tap simplifies oil changes, and the rounded edges prevent food debris from collecting. The IPX5-rated knobs can be wiped down with a damp cloth without risk of water ingress. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains level.

The F13-64ET is available with a single or double frying tank. Both versions include the basket, lid and basket holder. The catalogue places this fryer in the professional electric fryer range for intensive use.
