Deep Fryers

Looking to equip your commercial kitchen with a high-performing frying solution?

Whether you're running a café, bistro, or large-scale food outlet, choosing the right commercial deep fryer can improve food quality, speed, and staff efficiency.

More About Deep Fryers

At Atlantic Equipment, we stock a complete range of commercial deep fryers—from countertop units for casual cafes to heavy-duty floor-standing models designed for high-output operations. Deep fryers come in gas or electric configurations, with variations like single-tank, twin-tank, or tube-style fry pots for different food volumes and types.

Types of Deep Fryers

Gas deep fryers typically offer faster heat recovery and lower operational costs for high-volume kitchens. Electric fryers, on the other hand, are more energy-efficient and easier to install, making them ideal for smaller venues without gas lines. Understanding your kitchen's throughput and utility access will help you make the best decision.

Installation Considerations

Most commercial fryers require proper ventilation with a Type 1 hood to handle grease-laden vapors. Larger fryers may also require 3-phase power connections to achieve efficient heat-up times. Always check clearance needs and oil filter accessibility during installation planning.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular oil filtration and deep cleaning of your fryer's heating elements and tanks are vital to prolong performance and prevent fire hazards. Units with built-in filtering systems reduce downtime and labor costs.

Choosing the Right Capacity

Fryer oil tank sizes range from 10L to over 30L per well. Consider the number of batches you'll need per hour and the type of food being prepared. Twin-tank models allow for simultaneous cooking of different items without flavor crossover.

Return on Investment

Investing in a high-quality deep fryer ensures faster cook times, oil longevity, and energy savings. Over time, these benefits lead to lower food waste, better-tasting products, and consistent service during peak business hours.

Deep Fryers FAQs

What’s the difference between gas and electric commercial deep fryers?

Gas deep fryers tend to have faster heat recovery and are ideal for high-volume kitchens with gas supply access. Electric deep fryers are more energy-efficient and may offer better temperature consistency. They’re ideal for smaller kitchens or locations without gas lines.

What installation requirements are needed for commercial deep fryers?

Most commercial deep fryers require a stainless steel Type 1 exhaust hood to manage grease vapors. High-capacity units may need a 3-phase power supply. Always ensure proper floor clearance and oil drain access per your local regulations.

How do you clean and maintain a commercial deep fryer?

Daily tasks include filtering the oil, wiping down external surfaces, and cleaning baskets. Weekly or biweekly, perform a boil-out of the fry pot using fryer cleaner. Regular servicing of thermostat and drainage systems extends operational life and performance.

How do I determine the right oil capacity for my fryer?

Select based on output. A 15L fryer suits light-duty operations. For high-demand settings, consider 25L+ capacity fryers or twin-tank configurations. Large batch foods like chips or chicken benefit from tube-style fryers with higher capacities and oil filtration systems.

Why choose a commercial deep fryer over a basic countertop model?

Commercial deep fryers offer faster recovery times, higher oil capacities, better temperature control, and built-in oil filtration for quality and consistency. They’re designed to handle continuous use without performance loss—critical during peak service hours.
