KELOO Commercial Electric Fryer Freestanding 16L Single Tank 5kW - EF161C

A proper floor-standing fryer at working height. 16 litres of oil, 5kW behind it, and a drain tap so nobody is lifting a hot tank to change the oil. The EF161C is the step up from a countertop fryer to equipment that holds temperature through a full evening service. Oil volume is what actually determines fryer performance. A bigger tank drops less when frozen product goes in, which means shorter cook times, crisper results and less oil absorbed into the food. Key features 16L oil capacity - holds temperature under load instead of crashing when a basket goes in 5kW element - fast recovery between baskets, which is what keeps a queue moving Oil drain tap - drain into a container rather than lifting a full tank of hot oil 340 x 530 x 940mm (W x D x H) - freestanding at standard 900mm working height, lines up with your benches 50-190°C thermostat - full frying range with accurate control Temperature limiter and micro switch - safety cut-out on overheat and on element lift Single tank, single basket - simple, and the whole tank works one product at a time Stainless steel construction - built for daily commercial cleaning Specification Overall dimensions 340 x 530 x 940mm (W x D x H) Capacity 16L Tanks / baskets 1 tank, 1 basket Power 5kW Voltage 220-240V Temperature range 50-190°C Safety devices Thermostat, temperature limiter, micro switch Oil drain Tap Model EF161C Typical uses Fish and chip shops, chicken and burger takeaways, pub kitchens, street food units, and canteens running chips and fried sides through a full service. Choosing your fryer KELOO runs countertop fryers (EF-101V, EF-102V at 10L per tank) and freestanding fryers (EF161C, EF162C at 16L per tank). Countertop suits low volume and tight kitchens; freestanding is what you want if frying is a core part of the menu. On tanks: a single tank is simpler and cheaper, but everything you fry shares the same oil - if you cook fish and chips in the same fryer, flavours transfer. Two tanks let you keep them separate and give you a spare when one is draining. Good to know At 5kW this fryer needs a dedicated commercial supply - it draws well beyond a standard 13A socket. Please check your electrics before ordering. Filter oil daily and change it on condition rather than on a calendar: dark, smoking or foaming oil costs you more in product quality than it saves in oil. Never move a fryer with hot oil in the tank, and always allow it to cool fully before draining.
