Freestanding Commercial Fryers

Commercial Freestanding Fryers for Professional Kitchens

Freestanding fryers are designed for commercial kitchens that require dedicated frying capacity and consistent performance during busy service. Unlike compact countertop equipment, a floor-standing fryer provides a dedicated cooking station and is well suited to restaurants, takeaways, pubs, cafés, hotels and other professional catering environments.

Our range includes different capacities, power options and tank configurations, making it easier to choose a commercial fryer that suits your menu, available kitchen space and expected level of output.

Gas and Electric Freestanding Fryers

Choosing between a gas fryer and an electric fryer will depend on your kitchen setup, available utilities and operating requirements. Both can provide the high cooking temperatures required for professional frying, but their installation requirements differ.

Gas Commercial Fryers

Gas freestanding fryers are a popular option for busy commercial kitchens where gas services are already available. Our range includes models configured for natural gas (NG) as well as LPG commercial fryers for businesses that require an LPG-compatible setup.

Electric Commercial Fryers

An electric freestanding fryer can be a practical alternative where a suitable electrical supply is available. Electric models provide a dedicated floor-standing frying station without requiring a gas connection, although the electrical requirements should always be checked before installation.

Single Tank and Twin Tank Commercial Fryers

Tank configuration is an important consideration when selecting a fryer. A single tank fryer provides one main frying area and can be suitable for kitchens with a focused fried-food menu or more moderate frying requirements.

A twin tank fryer provides separate frying areas, giving commercial kitchens greater flexibility when preparing different foods. Separate tanks can also help kitchens organise production during busy periods and keep different fried products apart.

Choosing the Right Fryer Capacity

Fryer capacity should reflect both the amount of food being cooked and the demands of your busiest service periods. Higher-capacity fryers can support greater production, while smaller models may be more appropriate where kitchen space or frying demand is limited.

When comparing freestanding commercial fryers, consider the capacity per tank, number of tanks, power type, connection requirements and overall dimensions. Checking these specifications together will help you choose equipment that fits both your workflow and installation requirements.

What Can a Commercial Fryer Be Used For?

Freestanding fryers are suitable for a wide range of commercial foodservice applications and can be used for high-demand fried menu items throughout service.

• Chips, fries and potato products
• Battered fish and seafood
• Fried chicken and breaded products
• Onion rings and other battered vegetables
• Frozen appetisers and side dishes
• Other high-volume fried foods

Freestanding Fryers for Restaurants and Takeaways

For restaurants, takeaways and other high-volume food businesses, the fryer often forms a core part of the cooking line. A suitable professional fryer should provide enough capacity for peak service while fitting comfortably into the available kitchen layout.

Businesses producing several fried menu items may benefit from a twin tank configuration, while kitchens primarily frying one type of product may prefer the simplicity of a single tank machine. The best configuration will depend on menu size, expected throughput and how the kitchen is organised during service.
