Product Description
The Lincat Opus 800 OE8112 is a free-standing single-tank electric fryer built to Lincat's Opus 800 series specification — a range designed specifically for the demands of commercial kitchen service. It operates as a standalone unit with a 16-litre tank, making it a practical choice for kitchens where consistent fried output is needed throughout service without the footprint of a twin-tank configuration.
In a working kitchen environment, the OE8112 is well suited to steady, continuous frying across a service period. The close-tolerance thermostat maintains oil temperature reliably, which matters when consecutive batches are going in and consistent results are expected from the pass. The inclined tank base and large-bore drain make oil changes quicker and cleaner — a practical advantage when turnaround time between services is tight.
Key operational features worth noting:
- Hinged, lift-out element with safety interlock allows full tank access for cleaning without draining
- Fully welded tank construction simplifies cleaning and reduces build-up at joints
- Close-tolerance thermostat supports repeatable results across batches
- Inclined tank base and large-bore drain speed up oil changes
- Heavy-duty nickel-plated wire basket supplied as standard
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation — either an extraction canopy or a proximity extract system positioned above the unit. As a free-standing fryer, it needs floor space that allows safe access to the drain and element from the front. The unit is not designed for countertop installation. If your kitchen runs high volumes of fried food across simultaneous service periods, a twin-tank or higher-output unit may be more appropriate.
The OE8112 is a sensible fit for pubs, cafés, smaller restaurants, and contract catering operations where a reliable single-tank electric fryer handles the bulk of frying requirements without overcomplicating the setup. For sites with lighter, occasional frying needs, a smaller countertop unit may offer a more cost-effective solution.
If you're not certain whether this unit is sized correctly for your service volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The OE8112 is well suited to a pub kitchen with moderate frying output — think chip service alongside mains rather than a dedicated high-volume fish and chip operation. If your kitchen is consistently pushing large quantities of fried food across both covers simultaneously, a twin-tank or higher-output unit would handle that load more comfortably and reduce the risk of oil temperature drop between batches.
- As an electric free-standing fryer, the OE8112 requires a suitable hardwired electrical connection — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before installation. You'll also need adequate overhead extraction in place, either a traditional canopy or a proximity extract system. The unit should be positioned to allow clear frontal access for draining and element removal.
- The hinged lift-out element with safety interlock means the tank can be accessed and wiped down without the element being permanently in the way, which makes routine cleaning more practical. The fully welded tank removes the crevices that tend to trap grease on older designs, and the large-bore drain and inclined base mean oil changes are quicker than on units with flat-bottomed tanks and smaller drain valves.
