These clever units combine powerful electric heating elements with built-in filtration systems that extend oil life by up to 50%, dramatically cutting your ongoing costs. With capacities ranging from compact 8L single tanks to hefty 22L models, they're designed for everything from small cafés to busy fish and chip shops. After 50 years kitting out commercial kitchens, we've seen how these fryers pair brilliantly with commercial griddles for a versatile cooking station that keeps customers coming back!

Essential Buying Considerations
Capacity and Volume
Single tanks (8-12L) suit cafés and small restaurants—perfect for modest outputs.
Twin tanks (16-22L) handle busy fish shops and fast-food outlets—ideal for high demand.
Consider your peak hour portions—each 8-10L fryer produces roughly 20-25kg of chips per hour.
Power and Efficiency
Check power ratings (typically 3-9kW)—higher power means faster recovery times.
Look for energy-efficient models with insulated tanks—saves electricity during service.
Consider commercial oil filters as companion products for extended filtration options.
How Commercial Electric Filtration Fryers Work
These intelligent fryers take traditional deep-frying to the next level! The electric elements heat oil quickly and efficiently to your set temperature—typically between 130-190°C. The magic happens with the built-in filtration system, which circulates oil through fine mesh filters, removing food particles and impurities that cause oil degradation. Most models feature a simple filtration process activated by a lever or button, channeling oil through filters into a separate holding tank. In just minutes, the oil returns clean—extending its usable life, preserving food flavour, and saving you significant costs on replacement oil!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Electric Filtration Fryers
To maximise your fryer's performance, filter oil at least once daily—ideally after busy periods when the oil is still warm but not hot.

Remember to calibrate temperature settings periodically, as accurate temps extend oil life and ensure consistent cooking.
