How much oil does a floor fryer hold?

Many standard floor fryers hold roughly 35 to 50 pounds of oil, and high-volume models hold more. The exact capacity is on the specification sheet, listed in pounds or litres. Size the pot to your peak basket loads rather than your average, since an undersized fryer loses temperature and cooks slowly when it is busiest.

What does it mean to buy fryers in a battery?

A battery is two or more floor fryers joined side by side into one line, often with a shared filtration system built into one cabinet and sometimes a dump station for holding cooked food. A battery lets you dedicate pots to different foods, such as fries in one and breaded fish or chicken in another.

Does a floor fryer need a fire-suppression system?

Fryers are generally expected to sit under a commercial exhaust hood with a fire-suppression system that covers the fry pots, and many jurisdictions require it. Requirements vary, so confirm the arrangement with your local fire department, building official and hood contractor before the fryer is installed.

Commercial Floor Fryers in Canada

Floor fryers are full-size, free-standing fryers built for the volume of a quick-service restaurant, pub, fish and chip shop or busy institutional kitchen. They are sized by the oil capacity shown on the specification sheet, and are often installed side by side in batteries that share a filtration system. They run on natural gas, propane or electricity, depending on the model.

About commercial floor fryers

Before you buy

Measure the width available under the hood, since a battery grows quickly once a separate filter unit or a dump station for holding cooked food sits beside the fryers.
Decide on built-in filtration before ordering, because an integrated filter pumps oil through the filter without staff carrying hot oil across the kitchen.
Ask for the gas input or electrical load of each fryer in the battery and hand it to your gas fitter or electrician well before the installation date.
Check the oil capacity against your menu, since a larger pot handles bigger basket loads and holds temperature better but takes more oil to fill and change.
Plan how used oil will leave the building, whether in a disposal caddy, through a pump to a bulk oil tank or by a collection service, before the fryer arrives.
