Blue Seal EP518-CB Evolution Series - 1200mm Electric Griddle – Cabinet Base

Blue Seal EP518-CB Evolution Series 1200mm Electric Griddle – Cabinet Base

The Blue Seal EP518-CB is a heavy-duty 1200mm electric griddle from the Evolution Series, mounted on a closed cabinet base and purpose-built for high-volume commercial kitchens. The unit features a 20mm thick mild steel griddle plate with solid, seamlessly welded construction for maximum heat retention and uniform distribution across the entire cooking surface, paired with 16.2kW of heating power operating on a three-phase 400–415V supply.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the EP518-CB integrates practical service features including a stainless steel grease drawer, a 165mm splashback, heavy-duty reinforced control knobs, adjustable feet and rear rollers for repositioning. The cabinet base accepts an optional GN 1/1 four-position racking kit, and the unit is fully modular to suit a match-suite kitchen configuration. Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate variants are available to suit different cooking applications.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly, delivering consistent cooking results across the full 1200 x 480mm cooking surface – ideal for high-output breakfast, burger and protein cooking.
• Thermostatically controlled temperature range of 90–300°C allows precise, repeatable heat management for varied menu items.
• The smooth mild steel plate and stainless steel grease drawer make cleaning fast and straightforward between service periods, supporting rapid kitchen turnaround.
• Adjustable front feet and two rear rollers make it easy to level the unit on uneven floors and reposition it for cleaning or maintenance without heavy lifting.
• The closed cabinet base with a hinged door provides convenient underbench storage, and an optional GN 1/1 four-position racking kit adds structured organisation for one or two bays.
• Fully modular design allows the EP518-CB to be matched with other Evolution Series equipment for a cohesive suite finish in the kitchen line.
• Optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate configurations extend the unit's versatility, with the chrome mirror surface minimising heat loss by trapping more heat at the cooking surface.
• Top weld sealed plate construction prevents food debris and moisture from penetrating joints, supporting hygiene and extending the life of the griddle plate.
• Manufactured in New Zealand with a robust double-skin 304 stainless steel body and heavy-duty 63mm diameter legs, the unit is built to withstand the demands of a busy commercial environment.
