Roller Grill FD 80DR 16 Litre Double Electric Fryer

The Roller Grill FD 80DR is a double-tank electric fryer designed for continuous frying in commercial environments. Each tank operates independently, allowing operators to run different products simultaneously — chips alongside fish, for example — without cross-contamination of flavours or the need to change oil between batches. The compact footprint makes it a practical choice where counter space is limited but frying volume is a genuine operational requirement.

In service, the FD 80DR is well suited to steady, moderate-volume frying output. The cold zone beneath the heating element means that food debris settles away from the active fry area, which slows oil degradation and extends usable oil life between changes — a meaningful running cost consideration over weeks of service. The independent thermostat controls on each tank allow temperature management per product, which is useful when frying items with different requirements side by side.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Removable element head and oil pan for thorough, straightforward cleaning
• Safety micro switch ensuring the element is correctly seated before operation
• Secondary safety thermostat providing an additional layer of operator protection
• Heat-resistant basket handles for safe removal during busy service periods
• Cold zone design helping to prolong oil life and reduce waste

Installation is straightforward relative to gas alternatives — no gas supply, flue, or interlock ventilation is mandated by the appliance itself, though local extraction requirements should always be confirmed with your building regulations and ventilation installer. A suitable electrical supply will be needed; it is worth confirming your existing circuit capacity before ordering. The unit sits on a countertop, so a stable, heat-resistant surface at a safe working height is required.

The FD 80DR is a sensible fit for cafés, fish and chip takeaways, small restaurants, and catering operations where a reliable twin-tank electric fryer is needed without the complexity of a larger floor-standing unit. It is not intended for very high-volume frying operations running continuous double shifts, where a heavier-duty model with greater oil capacity would be the more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this fryer matches your service volume or kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
