Convotherm CFXP 251

Convotherm Flexx Pro CFXP 251 Electric Multi-Pan Unit

The Convotherm Flexx Pro CFXP 251 is a high-capacity electric multi-pan unit engineered for large-volume commercial food production. The unit offers a 250-litre pan with compatibility for four full-size 1/1 GN pans, a 340mm depth cooking surface spanning 83dm², and consolidates an extensive range of cooking methods — including frying, braising, grilling, searing, boiling, broiling, sous-vide and batch production — into one compact, efficient system that reduces equipment footprint and simplifies kitchen workflow.

Precision and automation are central to the CFXP 251, which features electromechanical variable-speed tray tilting across a 2009mm span, a 12-inch colour touchscreen with live cook progress display, storage for up to 800 programmable recipes with as many as 12 steps each, an independent automatic basket arm with integrated detection sensors, precision water dosing to 1 decilitre accuracy, and a multipoint core temperature probe. The base and frame cover are fabricated from 304 grade stainless steel, while the 3mm thick tray is formed from 316 grade stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and corrosion resistance in demanding hospitality and institutional environments.

Key Benefits

• Brings together multiple cooking functions — including frying, braising, grilling, searing, boiling, broiling and sous-vide — within a single piece of equipment, cutting the number of appliances required and reclaiming valuable kitchen space.
• Variable-speed electromechanical tray tilting simplifies draining and food handling during busy service periods, improving throughput speed and reducing manual effort for kitchen staff.
• A recipe library holding 800 programs, each supporting up to 12 individual cooking steps, standardises food quality across shifts, accelerates staff training and reduces the risk of inconsistent results.
• Automatic water filling with 1 decilitre dosing precision removes guesswork from liquid management and improves cooking repeatability across high-volume batches.
• An independent automatic arm handles the raising and lowering of baskets, with built-in proximity detection that identifies basket arm position and halts operation accordingly, minimising operator contact with hot loads and improving workplace safety.
• The multipoint core temperature probe delivers precise internal food temperature monitoring, reducing the risk of under or overcooking across large batch quantities.
• Food safety compliance is supported through onboard HACCP data recording with the ability to export logs via USB, streamlining audit documentation for institutional and catering operations.
• A wide operating temperature range spanning 30°C to 250°C accommodates delicate sous-vide applications through to high-heat searing and grilling within the same unit.
• An integrated retractable hand shower allows pan cleaning and rinsing to be carried out directly at the unit, saving time during and after service.
