Commercial Deep Fryers

Benchtop vs Freestanding Commercial Fryers

Commercial fryers come in two main formats. Benchtop models are compact, easy to move, and ideal for smaller venues or kitchens with limited space. Freestanding floor models are built for continuous, high-output frying and are common in fish and chip shops, pub kitchens, and fast-food operations. Many freestanding units also feature built-in oil filtration systems, which extend oil life and reduce running costs over time.

Single Tank vs Twin Tank

Single tank fryers allow for bulk frying with large baskets, great during a lunch rush. Twin tank or split pan fryers let you fry two different food types at two different temperatures at the same time, which is ideal if your menu covers chips, crumbed chicken, seafood, or other items that can't share oil without affecting flavour.

What to Look for When Buying a Commercial Deep Fryer

• Oil capacity: match the tank size to your expected volume. Small cafés often manage with 8–15 litres, while busy takeaways may need 20 litres or more per vat.
• Heat recovery time: how quickly the oil returns to temperature after adding food matters a lot during a service rush.
• Ease of cleaning: removable tanks and smooth internal surfaces make a big difference at the end of a long shift.
• Safety features: look for overheat cut-outs and insulated basket handles as standard.
• Australian compliance: gas units must meet AS 4563 and AS/NZS 5601, and electric models should carry AS/NZS 60335 certification.

Industrial Deep Fryers for High-Volume Kitchens

If you're running a high-throughput operation, an industrial deep fryer gives you the output capacity and build quality to keep up with demand service after service. These heavy-duty units are designed to run all day without skipping a beat, and they're built from commercial-grade stainless steel to handle the heat, grease, and scrubbing that comes with a busy kitchen.
