Overview

Roband FR15 Single Pan Frypod 5L Electric Bench Fryer

The Roband FR15 Frypod is an Australian-made, single-pan electric bench fryer with a 5-litre oil capacity, built from 304 stainless steel and designed to deliver consistent frying results in cafes, canteens, takeaways, bars and other busy commercial kitchens. Running on a standard 10-amp plug-in connection at 2,300 watts, it fits comfortably on the countertop without requiring dedicated wiring, and its compact footprint makes it an efficient choice where bench space is at a premium.

The FR15 has been engineered with a tightly controlled temperature band that minimises oil temperature drop when food is loaded, which means less oil absorption in the final product and a longer usable oil life. With a chip output of 7 kg of thawed chips per hour (6.5 kg frozen) and an 11-minute heat-up time, it keeps pace with consistent service demand while a suite of thoughtful safety and cleaning features reduce both risk and daily maintenance effort.

Key Benefits

• Plugs into a standard 10-amp outlet with no special electrical installation required, making it fast to deploy or relocate in any venue.
• Tight temperature regulation minimises oil temperature drop during loading, producing more evenly cooked food with less oil absorbed and extending oil life.
• Outputs up to 7 kg of thawed chips per hour, supporting continuous service in moderate-volume operations.
• Safety lock system prevents the element from being removed while the machine is on, and prevents the machine from being switched on if the element is removed, protecting staff at all times.
• Elements swing back and lock in two positions for draining oil or full tank removal, making oil changes and cleaning faster and safer.
• Bevelled fryer body edge creates a natural lip so the tank lifts out cleanly without spilling, simplifying end-of-day cleaning.
• Removable splashguard with bash plate returns splashed oil to the pan during cooking, keeping the work area cleaner and reducing waste.
• Versatile fryer lid fits with the basket handle facing forward or folded over the control panel, allowing more compact storage when the unit is not in use.
• Australian-made construction backed by Roband's established service and support network.
