Brand: Empura

Color: Silver

Features:

• PRECISE TEMPERATURE CONTROL: This fryer operates within a temperature range of 200°F to 400°F, controlled by a responsive thermostat for accuracy in high-volume cooking. A 450°F high-limit safety feature prevents overheating, ensuring operator and workplace protection. The millivolt control valve provides dependable performance without relying on external electrical power.
• BUILT-IN REVERSIBLE DRIP TRAY: A unique feature of the EMPURA fryer is its integrated reversible drip tray. Positioned for operator convenience, the tray captures excess oil from freshly cooked products, reducing waste and minimizing mess. When reversed, the tray functions as a secure lid, covering the fryer when not in use to maintain cleanliness and safety.
• HIGH-EFFICIENCY BURNER AND HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEM: The fryer’s cast iron vertical burner works with a stainless steel heat exchanger featuring an integrated baffle to maximize heat transfer efficiency. This design reduces preheat times and supports rapid temperature recovery after adding food, essential for large-scale production runs. The improved heat exchange also helps lower energy consumption compared to less efficient designs.
• COLD ZONE DESIGN FOR OIL PRESERVATION: The stainless steel fryer pot incorporates a cold zone below the burner tubes where crumbs and debris settle away from the cooking area. This design minimizes carbon buildup and helps prevent flavor transfer between batches, extending the life of the cooking oil. By maintaining cleaner oil for longer periods, operations benefit from reduced maintenance costs and improved product taste.
• DURABLE AND EASY TO CLEAN CONSTRUCTION: The fryer features heavy-duty stainless steel construction on the front, fryer pot, hanger plate, and heat exchanger, complemented by galvanized steel sides for structural stability. The stainless steel pot and accessible open design make cleaning straightforward, while the 6' stainless steel legs provide the necessary clearance for thorough floor cleaning beneath the unit.
