Overview

Blue Seal EP516-LS Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle on Leg Stand

The Blue Seal EP516-LS is a heavy-duty 900mm electric griddle mounted on a dedicated leg stand, forming part of the fully modular Evolution Series range. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it features a solid 20mm thick mild steel cooking plate with top weld sealed construction for maximum heat retention and even heat distribution across the 900 x 480mm cooking surface, with precise thermostatically controlled temperatures ranging from 90 to 300°C. Powered by 12kW heating elements on a 400-415V three-phase supply, the EP516-LS is engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens handling breakfasts, burgers, seafood and more.

The leg stand is built from 63mm diameter heavy-duty 304 stainless steel tube at 1.2mm wall thickness, configured with a pair of adjustable feet positioned at the front and a pair of rollers at the rear to allow easy repositioning while maintaining stability. A suite-matching undershelf and a 165mm splashback are included as standard, and the framed top design allows direct connection to adjacent Evolution Series units, making the EP516-LS a practical freestanding solution that integrates seamlessly across 450mm, 600mm, 900mm and 1200mm suite configurations.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick mild steel cooking plate retains and distributes heat evenly across the full surface, reducing hot spots and improving cooking consistency.
• Thermostatically controlled temperatures from 90 to 300°C allow accurate adjustment to suit different ingredients and cooking styles.
• Top weld sealed plate construction prevents food debris and grease from penetrating joints, simplifying cleaning and extending plate life.
• A stainless steel grease drawer collects drippings for quick, hygienic disposal and fast turnaround between service periods.
• The rear roller and front adjustable-foot configuration makes repositioning the unit straightforward while keeping it stable on uneven floors.
• Fully modular design with a framed top allows direct connection to adjacent Evolution Series griddle units for a matched suite finish.
• Optional ribbed mild steel or chrome mirror plate surfaces provide versatility for different menu items, with the mirror chrome option minimising heat loss by trapping more heat at the cooking surface.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs withstand the demands of continuous commercial use and remain easy to operate in high-pressure service environments.
