Blue Seal EP516-B Evolution Series - 900mm Electric Griddle – Bench Model

Blue Seal EP516-B Evolution Series 900mm Electric Griddle – Bench Model

The Blue Seal EP516-B is a 900mm bench-model electric griddle from the Evolution Series, engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens requiring consistent, reliable cooking performance. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, it features a 20mm thick smooth mild steel griddle plate that retains and evenly distributes heat across a generous 900 x 480mm cooking surface, making it ideal for breakfasts, burgers, seafood and any high-turnover menu items.

Powered by 12kW heating elements operating on a 400–415V three-phase supply, the EP516-B is designed for straightforward installation, easy daily cleaning and simple servicing. A stainless steel grease drawer, top-weld-sealed plates and heavy-duty reinforced control knobs all contribute to a unit built to withstand the demands of a busy professional kitchen. Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate configurations allow the griddle to be specified to suit different cooking requirements.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate excels at heat retention and even distribution, reducing hot spots and delivering consistently cooked food across the entire surface.
• A single thermostat control zone spanning 90–300°C allows precise temperature management across the full 900mm cooking width, simplifying operation during busy service periods.
• Top-weld-sealed plates prevent grease and food debris from penetrating joints, making daily cleaning faster and more thorough.
• The stainless steel grease drawer captures drippings efficiently and slides out for quick emptying and cleaning, reducing downtime between services.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make positioning and levelling straightforward, allowing the unit to be relocated easily for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate configurations let operators choose a cooking surface suited to specific menu items such as vegetables, fish or premium proteins.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs are built to withstand the rigours of continuous commercial use, maintaining reliable thermostat operation over the long term.
• A 165mm splashback provides practical protection for walls and surrounding equipment, reducing cleaning requirements in the surrounding area.
• Compact bench-model footprint integrates into existing kitchen layouts without requiring floor space, while four 63mm diameter 304 stainless steel legs with adjustable feet offer stable, hygienic support.
