B&S Black Single Pan Rapid Fryer RF-1

B&S Black Single Pan Rapid Fryer RF-1

The B&S Black Single Pan Rapid Fryer RF-1 is a high-output commercial gas fryer engineered for the demands of busy restaurant, café, hotel and catering kitchens. Part of the B+S Black Range, a staple line refined over more than 65 years, this freestanding unit is constructed from AISI 304 grade stainless steel with a 2mm-thick stainless steel tank, combining exceptional durability with the hygiene and easy-clean surfaces required in professional kitchen environments. Manufactured in Italy, it measures 625mm wide and is supplied on an integrated stand with a front access panel for servicing.

Delivering up to 135 MJ/h on both natural gas and LPG through a single energy-efficient target burner, the RF-1 achieves rapid, even heat distribution across its 20-litre single cool-zone tank. The cool zone design minimises food particle burning, extending oil life and maintaining consistent fry quality. Temperature is managed via an oil thermostat with a safety cut-out, and a piezo ignition with flame failure device ensures safe, reliable lighting for every service. Two baskets are included, making it well suited to high-volume frying during peak periods.

Key Benefits

• The energy-efficient target burner distributes heat evenly throughout the oil, improving fry consistency and reducing gas consumption during busy service periods.
• A central cool zone at the base of the tank keeps fallen food particles away from direct heat, slowing oil degradation and reducing the frequency and cost of oil changes.
• Fast temperature recovery after each basket load helps maintain throughput during peak service, minimising wait times and keeping food quality consistent.
• The over-temperature safety cut-out switch protects both the equipment and kitchen staff by automatically shutting off the burner if the oil reaches an unsafe temperature.
• Piezo ignition with a flame failure device provides quick, reliable lighting and automatically cuts gas supply if the flame is extinguished, supporting safe kitchen operation.
• Front access to all components simplifies routine maintenance and servicing, reducing downtime and the need for specialised access arrangements.
• Compatibility with both natural gas and LPG gives operators flexibility to suit the gas supply available at their site.
• Robust AISI 304 stainless steel and vitreous enamel construction resists corrosion, withstands the rigours of a commercial kitchen, and is straightforward to clean to food-safe standards.
• The freestanding integrated stand design keeps the unit stable and self-contained, making installation and kitchen layout planning straightforward.
