MBM MAGISTRA PLUS 700 Electric Fryer 6+6 Litre Dual Tank

A professional electric fryer with two independent 6 litre tanks heats oil by submerged armoured stainless-steel elements. The elements transfer energy directly into the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. A built-in thermostat monitors the oil and cycles the elements on and off to hold the chosen frying temperature between 90 °C and 190 °C. This steady heat cooks food uniformly, seals the surface for crispness, and prevents the oil from breaking down too soon.

To begin, the operator fills each tank with 6 litres of clean frying oil. The thermostat is set to the required temperature—lower for delicate items, higher for thicker cuts. Once the oil reaches the set point, a basket of food is lowered into the hot oil. The large cold zone beneath the heating elements collects crumbs and debris, keeping the oil cleaner and extending its usable life. After the set frying time, the basket is lifted out, drained over the tank, and the food is transferred to a holding area. The process repeats as long as the fryer is in use.

The entire unit is built from 1 mm AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, including the tanks, body and front drainer. The tanks are moulded with rounded corners and continuously welded to the worktop, eliminating crevices where food particles can lodge. Armoured electric heating elements inside each tank tilt outwards for thorough cleaning. A safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats, while a large stainless-steel filter on the oil-collection tank traps debris when the oil is drained.

Controls are simple: a thermostatic dial for each tank sets the oil temperature between 90 °C and 190 °C, and a safety thermostat indicator shows when the unit is operating within safe limits. The 10.5 kW power rating (5.25 kW per tank) requires a 400 V 3-phase supply, the standard circuit in professional kitchens. The 35 kg weight means the fryer can be moved with a trolley but is stable on a worktop once in place. Its 400 mm depth, 714 mm width and 250 mm height fit neatly between other counter-top appliances, while the 140 mm tank width leaves ample room for standard frying baskets.

Cleaning follows the construction: the rounded, welded tanks and tilting elements allow hot oil to be drained through the front outlet into the collection tank. The stainless-steel filter catches debris, and the cold zone can be wiped clean once the oil is removed. The 1 mm stainless-steel surfaces are resistant to corrosion and can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 700 is a dual-tank model; single-tank versions are listed under the same brand. It is categorised in the catalogue under electric fryers for professional catering.
