Overview

Austheat AF822 Freestanding Electric Fryer – Twin Tank, 2 x 15 Litre

The Austheat AF822 is an Australian-made freestanding electric fryer built to 800 Series commercial standards and manufactured locally by Roband. It houses two independent 15-litre tanks (30 litres combined), each with its own controls, allowing operators to run different temperatures at the same time, prevent cross-flavour contamination, or power down a single tank during quieter periods to reduce energy consumption. The unit suits high-volume foodservice venues including restaurants, quick service outlets, aged care facilities, stadiums, fish and chip shops, takeaway businesses, and café environments.

Electric immersion elements heat the oil directly rather than the surrounding air, which lowers ambient kitchen temperature, eliminates open gas flames, and delivers fast recovery between loads. The AF822 is designed for straightforward daily maintenance: elements swing up and clear in seconds to expose a smooth, unobstructed tank interior, while a removable front door and lockable 1-inch drain per tank simplify end-of-service cleaning. Rear castors and adjustable front legs allow easy repositioning, and the unit integrates modularly with other Austheat 800 Series equipment using the optional tank joining cover (SS1794).

Key Benefits

• Two independent tanks allow different products to be fried at different temperatures simultaneously, completely preventing cross-flavour contamination.
• A single tank can be switched off during slow trading periods, cutting electricity consumption while keeping partial service running.
• Immersion elements heat oil directly rather than the surrounding air, keeping ambient kitchen temperatures lower and working conditions more comfortable for staff.
• Rapid heat-up to 180°C in approximately 10 minutes and strong load recovery supports an output of around 32 kg of fried product per hour.
• Swinging elements and a smooth, open tank interior with no internal obstructions make thorough end-of-service cleaning fast and require minimal labour time.
• A cook/idle switch linked to dual thermostats enables easy toggling between active frying and standby mode, trimming running costs across a full service day.
• Each tank is protected by a manual-reset over-temperature safety cut-out, with a secondary backup thermostat providing an additional layer of protection for both the operator and the equipment.
• Rear castors and adjustable front legs make repositioning simple, and modular joining capability allows the fryer to integrate cleanly into a broader Austheat 800 Series cooking line.
