Overview

Benchstar IF3500S-AL Single Tank Auto Lifting Induction Fryer

The Benchstar IF3500S-AL is a commercial single tank induction fryer with a fully automated basket lifting system. Once the programmed cook time is complete, the basket raises itself without any manual intervention, eliminating the need for constant operator supervision and directly addressing common kitchen challenges such as overcooking during busy service, large oil temperature swings, inconsistent results, and difficulty standardising operations with limited staff.

Powered by high-efficiency electromagnetic induction technology, the IF3500S-AL achieves 90% energy utilisation efficiency, making it approximately 35% more efficient than conventional electric fryers. Precise touchscreen temperature control holds oil within a 2°C variance, the stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean, and a cold zone at the base of the tank keeps food crumbs away from the active frying area to maintain oil quality and food flavour over extended service periods.

Key Benefits

• Automated basket lifting removes the risk of food being left in the oil too long during a busy service, improving consistency and reducing waste.
• Oil temperature is maintained within 2°C of the set point, compared to more than 10°C variance typical of analogue fryers, delivering repeatable, consistent food quality every cook.
• 90% energy utilisation efficiency reduces running costs significantly compared to conventional electric frying equipment.
• Up to 5 custom cooking programs can be saved and recalled, making it easier to standardise recipes and train new staff.
• The cold zone design keeps fallen food crumbs from burning in the hottest part of the oil, extending oil life and preserving flavour.
• Induction heating generates less ambient heat than gas or conventional electric fryers, contributing to a cooler and more comfortable kitchen environment.
• Overheating and overvoltage protection safeguards both the unit and kitchen staff during continuous high-volume operation.
• Full stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands the demands of a commercial kitchen while remaining easy to wipe down and sanitise.
