FriFri Precision 422 Twin Tank Free Standing Electric Fryer

The FriFri Precision 422 is a free-standing twin-tank electric fryer designed for busy commercial kitchens where consistent frying quality and high throughput are non-negotiable. Each tank operates independently, giving operators the flexibility to fry different products simultaneously without flavour transfer or the need to change oil between runs. The unit runs on three-phase power, with each tank drawing 11kW, and is built in stainless steel throughout.

Where the Precision 422 stands apart from many commercial fryers is in its temperature management. The electronic control system holds oil temperature to within ±1°C of the target setting — a level of precision that matters in practice because temperature drift is one of the most common causes of greasy or unevenly cooked food during a busy service. Tighter temperature control also means less oil absorption, which helps extend oil life and reduce running costs over time. An adaptive cooking feature adjusts timing based on batch size, reducing the risk of undercooking when loading cold product straight from the fridge or freezer.

From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits include:

• Independent tank operation for cooking different products at the same time
• Dedicated cooking programmes for product consistency across shifts
• The xFri filtration system allows hot oil to be filtered in under five minutes without interrupting service
• Hinged elements with two tilt positions make draining and cleaning straightforward
• An optional LiftFri automatic basket-lifting system is available to prevent overcooking at end of cycle

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, and at 79kg the unit will need appropriate floor loading consideration and adequate access for delivery. The 397.5mm width makes it relatively compact for a twin-tank unit, which can be useful where bench or floor run length is limited, but you should still verify that extraction capacity is sufficient for the combined output of both tanks running concurrently.

The Precision 422 is well suited to pub kitchens, casual dining operations, fish and chip restaurants, and contract catering sites where a reliable split-product frying capability is needed throughout a long service period. For very high-volume operations — large central production kitchens or high-turnover quick-service sites — it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity model in the range would better match demand.

If you are unsure whether the Precision 422 is the right fit for your operation, or have questions about electrical supply or extraction requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
