LOTUS Electric Fryer with Neutral Cabinet 25 Litre F25-94ET

A commercial fryer that combines rapid oil heating with a built-in neutral cabinet for holding fried items at serving temperature. The fryer circulates hot oil around submerged baskets, transferring heat evenly to food while maintaining a crisp exterior and fully cooked interior. The neutral cabinet beneath keeps batches warm without further cooking, allowing continuous service during peak demand.

The operator loads raw or pre-prepared food into the two stainless steel baskets, each measuring 13.5 by 45 by 15 cm deep. The baskets lower into the 25 litre oil vat, where heating elements raise the temperature to frying level. A dual thermostat controls the working temperature and cuts power if the oil overheats, triggering both visual and audible alarms. Once the set time elapses, the baskets lift clear of the oil, draining excess back into the vat. The fried items transfer to the neutral cabinet below, where they remain warm and accessible without drying out.

Construction is 18/10 chromium-nickel stainless steel throughout, with a 2 mm thick worktop finished in Scotch-Brite satin. Edges are rounded for safety, and chrome-plated details protect against corrosion. The rear panel shields controls from splashes, while IPX5-rated waterproof knobs allow safe cleaning. Two drip trays with mesh screens collect oil and food debris, and a rotating heating element simplifies vat cleaning. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and a built-in oil filter drain pan eases oil changes.

Controls include a main thermostat for setting frying temperature and a safety thermostat that overrides the main circuit if the oil exceeds safe limits. The alarm system alerts staff when the safety thermostat trips, preventing oil degradation and fire risk.

The 22 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, typical of commercial kitchens with high-demand equipment. The 66 kg weight ensures stability during use but allows repositioning with a trolley. The 400 by 900 by 900 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths while providing both frying and holding space in a single unit.

Cleaning involves removing the front control panel for access to internal components. The rotating heating element lifts clear of the vat, and the drip trays slide out for emptying. The oil filter drain pan collects used oil for disposal, and the stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with standard kitchen degreasers.

Available in single or double vat configurations, the F25-94ET includes baskets, lids, a vat filter and basket supports as standard. The neutral cabinet is integrated into the base, eliminating the need for a separate holding unit.

Catalogued under professional fryers with integrated holding cabinets, this model suits high-volume kitchens requiring continuous frying and immediate service of multiple batches.
