Austheat AF812 Freestanding Electric Fryer, 2 baskets

Austheat AF812 Freestanding Electric Fryer, 2 Baskets

The Austheat AF812 is an Australian-made freestanding electric deep fryer designed for high-volume commercial frying in cafes, takeaways, restaurants, fish and chip shops, QSRs and institutional kitchens. Built by Roband, it features a single 33-litre pan, robust 1.5mm stainless steel tank construction, and a 14.6kW three-phase electric supply that delivers approximately 32kg of fried product per hour with a heat-up time of around 10 minutes to 180°C.

Electric immersion elements swing up and out of the pan in seconds for fast, thorough cleaning of the smooth open tank, while a cook/idle switch linked to dual thermostats keeps operating costs down during quieter periods. Rear castors and adjustable front legs make repositioning straightforward, and the modular design allows multiple Austheat fryers to be joined side by side using the optional tank joining cover (SS1794).

Key Benefits

• Large 33-litre oil capacity sustains continuous high-volume output without frequent oil top-ups, keeping service moving during peak periods.
• Reaches 180°C in approximately 10 minutes and recovers rapidly between batches, supporting a productive output of around 32kg of fried food per hour.
• Cook/idle switch linked to dual thermostats lets operators drop to a lower holding temperature during quieter periods, directly reducing electricity consumption.
• Swing-out immersion elements clear the tank completely in seconds, making cleaning faster and more thorough compared to fixed-element designs.
• Electric operation generates less ambient heat than gas alternatives, contributing to a cooler, more comfortable kitchen environment and potential air-conditioning savings.
• Manual-reset over-temperature safety cut-outs protect the fryer and staff if temperatures exceed safe limits, with a secondary thermostat providing an additional layer of backup protection.
• Rear castors combined with adjustable front legs allow the unit to be manoeuvred easily for repositioning or deep cleaning underneath.
• Modular joining capability means additional Austheat fryer units can be paired side by side using the optional cover (SS1794), scaling capacity without a full equipment replacement.
• Australian-made construction by Roband, with an easy-to-clean lockable 1-inch drain, supports reliable long-term performance in demanding foodservice environments.
