Description
The Frymaster FPRE180 17KW is a high-production electric fryer designed for commercial kitchens that require strong frying output, effective sediment handling, and integrated oil filtration. Built around an 80 lb. oil capacity frypot with a spacious 18″ × 18″ frying area, the fryer is engineered for high-volume applications including bone-in chicken, fresh-breaded products, and other high-sediment menu items. Its ASTM-tested 83% energy efficiency and ability to produce up to 84 lbs. of French fries per hour make it a strong solution for operators focused on throughput and operating efficiency.
The FPRE180 features Frymasters proprietary self-standing, swing-up, low-watt density heating elements that improve heat transfer while allowing easier access for cleaning and servicing. The digital controller system provides constant temperature display, melt cycle, boil-out mode, and responsive temperature management through a robust RTD 1° compensating temperature probe. Built-in filtration enhances oil management and simplifies routine maintenance, while the deep cold zone, rear flush capability, and forward-sloping frypot bottom help remove sediment and maintain oil quality. Stainless steel frypot construction, cabinet sides, and doors provide durability and sanitation advantages in demanding commercial foodservice environments.
