LOTUS Fryer 10+10 Litre Dual-Tank Professional Electric Fryer

A professional electric fryer with two independent 10-litre vats heats oil in each tank using sheathed elements submerged below the oil line. The elements transfer heat directly into the oil, raising its temperature evenly so that food cooks at a steady rate once the basket is lowered. A fan-free design relies on natural convection within the oil to keep the temperature uniform across the vat, eliminating cold spots that can leave food undercooked or greasy.

The operator fills each vat with fresh oil, sets the operating thermostat to the required temperature, and waits for the oil to reach the set point. Once the ready indicator lights, the basket is loaded with food, lowered into the oil, and timed. A second, high-limit thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats, protecting both the appliance and the oil from breakdown. When the timer sounds, the basket is lifted and rested on the chromed lift-up arms to drain. Lids fitted to each vat reduce heat loss and splashing while the fryer is in use or idle.

The fryer is fabricated from 1 mm thick CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade stainless steel finished in a Scotch-Brite satin polish. Rounded edges and a rear splashback simplify cleaning and reduce injury risk. Chromed details include the basket rests and control knobs. A removable resistance box allows full access to the interior for thorough cleaning. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and an oil filter drain pan is included for safe oil disposal.

Controls consist of two operating thermostats—one for each vat—and two overheat safety thermostats. Each operating thermostat sets the oil temperature for its tank, while the safety thermostats act as a failsafe against runaway heating.

The 12 kW power rating indicates the load the fryer places on the electrical supply. A 400 V three-phase neutral connection or a 230 V three-phase connection is required, both at 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with standardised commercial kitchen circuits. The 65 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two-person lift. The 800 × 700 × 850 mm footprint reserves a dedicated space on the worktop or floor, with clearance for rear ventilation and splashback access.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the resistance box, and washing the interior and exterior with non-abrasive cleaners. The satin finish resists fingerprints and minor scratches, while the rounded edges prevent dirt accumulation. The included oil filter drain pan simplifies oil changes and reduces spillage.

The FME-2/10 is a dual-tank model; a single-tank variant is also available under a separate article number. The fryer is categorised in the professional catering equipment catalogue under electric fryers, dual-tank configurations.
