Overview

Austheat AF813R Rapid Recovery Single Pan Electric Fryer 43L with 3 Baskets

The Austheat AF813R is an Australian-made, three-phase freestanding electric deep fryer built for high-volume commercial kitchens where rapid recovery between batches is essential. Carrying 21.5kW of power across its immersion heating elements, it heats to 180°C in approximately 8.5 minutes and delivers a continuous hourly output of around 45kg of fried product, making it a natural fit for fish and chip shops, QSRs, stadiums, aged care facilities, restaurants, cafes, and mining camps.

Built on a 1.5mm stainless steel tank within a robust stainless steel cabinet, the AF813R offers a 43-litre oil capacity and comes supplied with three heavy-duty stainless steel baskets and a pan lid. Its open-pan design accommodates wet batters without modification, while swinging immersion elements provide fast, tool-free access to the smooth tank interior for cleaning. Rear castors and adjustable front legs allow easy repositioning, and optional modular joining covers let multiple units be configured side by side in a seamless bank.

Key Benefits

• Rapid recovery between frying loads keeps output consistent during peak service, reducing customer wait times.
• 21.5kW immersion heating reaches 180°C in around 8.5 minutes, minimising startup downtime at the beginning of service.
• Cook/idle thermostat switching reduces oil temperature during quieter periods, cutting energy consumption and oil degradation.
• Elements swing up and out in seconds, exposing a smooth open tank for quick, thorough cleaning between services.
• Electric immersion elements direct heat straight into the oil, reducing ambient heat output and lowering air-conditioning load on the kitchen.
• No gas flame creates a cleaner working environment, and electric immersion elements can outlast gas burners with lower replacement costs.
• Three stainless steel baskets allow multiple products to be fried simultaneously, supporting an output of approximately 45kg per hour.
• Open-pan configuration supports wet batters without any additional setup, broadening the menu range possible from a single unit.
• Rear castors and adjustable front legs provide full manoeuvrability, and optional joining covers enable modular multi-fryer configurations.
