Overview

Waldorf FNB8224E Bold 450mm Twin Pan Electric Deep Fryer

The Waldorf FNB8224E is a 450mm wide twin pan electric deep fryer from the Waldorf Bold range, designed to deliver consistent, high-volume frying in demanding commercial kitchen environments. Each pan holds 12 litres of oil and the unit achieves a production rate of 31kg per hour, making it well suited to busy fish and chip shops, pubs, clubs, canteens and catering operations. The fryer is manufactured from bull nose welded 1.5mm 304 stainless steel with a splashback included as standard, and front panels finished in black vitreous enamel. Other colour options are available to suit kitchen fit-outs.

Each fry pan is heated by three 2.83kW stainless steel heating elements that hinge out on a counterbalanced mechanism, providing straightforward access for cleaning and servicing. A mechanical thermostat with a range of 90 to 200 degrees Celsius gives operators precise temperature control, while a fail-safe over-temperature safety cut-out and an element tilt switch add an important layer of protection. The unit ships with two standard baskets and a stainless steel lid, and is built on heavy-duty 150mm legs with adjustable feet. As a fully modular unit it integrates neatly into the Waldorf Bold suite of equipment.
