Roband FR28 Double Pan Frypod 2 x 8lt

Roband FR28 Double Pan Frypod Counter Top Fryer 2 x 8Lt

The Roband FR28 Frypod is an Australian-made, double pan electric bench top fryer offering two independent 8-litre tanks, each powered by a 3,450W element on a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Built from 304 brushed stainless steel with quality metal control knobs, it delivers a capable output of 21 kg of thawed chips or 20 kg of frozen chips per hour, making it well suited to cafes, canteens, takeaways, bars and busy foodservice venues.

Roband has engineered the Frypod's elements for rapid response to temperature drops, tightening the operating temperature band so oil temperature remains stable under load. This consistent thermal performance means less oil is absorbed into food, longer oil life, and reliably crisp results batch after batch. Thoughtful safety and cleaning features throughout the design reduce downtime and simplify daily operation.

Key Benefits

• High throughput of up to 21 kg of thawed chips per hour keeps pace with busy service periods without slowing the kitchen down.
• Responsive elements minimise oil temperature drop when food is loaded, reducing oil absorption for crispier results and extended oil life.
• Independent dual pans allow two different products to be fried simultaneously, maximising menu flexibility on a compact countertop footprint.
• The safety lock mechanism prevents elements from being removed while the machine is on, and prevents the machine being switched on with elements removed, protecting staff from burns and equipment damage.
• Elements swing back and lock in two positions for draining oil and full tank removal, making oil changes and cleaning straightforward without specialist tools.
• The splashguard with integrated bash plate returns splashed oil back into the pan during cooking, keeping the work surface cleaner and reducing waste.
• A 13-minute heat-up time means the fryer reaches operating temperature quickly, supporting fast kitchen set-up at the start of service.
• Australian-made construction with a 12-month warranty backs reliability and ensures local service support.
