Buffalo 600 Series Free Standing Double Electric Fryer 2x 8Ltr

The Buffalo 600 Series freestanding double electric fryer is a twin-tank unit designed for continuous frying in busy commercial kitchens. Each tank holds 8 litres of oil and is fitted with its own 6kW heating element, giving a combined output of 12kW across the pair. The unit runs on three-phase 400V and requires a hardwired connection — it is not a plug-in appliance.

In a working kitchen environment, the dual-tank arrangement allows operators to run different products simultaneously — chips in one tank, chicken or seafood in the other — without cross-contamination of flavour or oil. The independently controlled tanks mean one side can be shut down during quieter periods to reduce running costs, while the other remains ready for service. Recovery times are reasonably quick for a unit in this class, which matters during a busy lunch or dinner service when the fryers are in near-constant use.

From a practical standpoint, the 600 Series fryer offers several features that make day-to-day operation more straightforward:

• Hinged heating elements that lift clear of the tanks for easier internal cleaning
• Front-mounted drain taps on each tank for controlled, safe oil changes
• Stainless steel construction throughout, supporting hygiene and longevity
• Single large basket per tank, suited to bulkier items without restricting capacity

Installation requires a three-phase 400V supply and a hardwired connection by a qualified electrician. Given the heat output, adequate ventilation above the unit is essential — a canopy extract system positioned correctly above the cook line is the standard approach. The unit is freestanding, so it can be positioned as a standalone piece or integrated into a 600-series cook line alongside compatible appliances.

This fryer is well suited to mid-volume operations: pub kitchens, casual dining restaurants, staff canteens, and similar sites where frying forms a regular part of the menu but not the entire output of the kitchen. It is a practical, reliable choice at this capacity level. For higher-volume sites with heavy continuous frying demands — fish and chip shops or high-throughput fast-food operations, for example — a heavier-duty unit with larger tank capacity may be more appropriate.
