FriFri Precision 422 Twin Tank Free Standing Electric Fryer

The FriFri Precision 422 is a free-standing twin-tank electric fryer designed for continuous, high-throughput frying in commercial kitchens. Each tank operates independently, allowing operators to fry different products simultaneously without flavour transfer — a practical advantage in kitchens running varied menus. Three-phase electrical supply powers both tanks, delivering the consistent, sustained heat that busy service periods demand.

Temperature control is a defining characteristic of this fryer. The electronic system holds oil temperature within a very tight tolerance, which has a direct bearing on product quality and oil longevity. When cold product loads are dropped in, the elements recover quickly enough to maintain consistent cook times across successive batches — something that matters considerably during a busy lunch or evening service. The independent tank arrangement also means one side can be held on standby or given a break without affecting the other, which helps manage oil usage sensibly.

For operators, the practical advantages translate into day-to-day reliability:

• Independent tanks allow simultaneous frying of different products without cross-contamination
• Tight temperature regulation reduces oil absorption, improving food quality and reducing oil costs over time
• Programmable cooking cycles support consistency across a team, not just an individual chef
• The xFri filtration system allows hot oil to be filtered during service in under five minutes, maintaining oil quality without lengthy downtime
• Hinged elements with two tilt positions and radiused tank corners make cleaning straightforward at the end of service

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply — this is not a single-phase unit and should be confirmed with your electrician before ordering. At 79kg, the fryer is substantial and will need appropriate flooring and, in most UK commercial kitchen environments, a suitable extraction canopy positioned overhead. The footprint is relatively compact for a twin-tank unit, but access to the rear for servicing and adequate clearance around the unit should be factored into any kitchen layout plan.

The Precision 422 is well suited to mid-to-high-volume operations — pub kitchens, casual dining restaurants, school catering, and similar environments where frying forms a significant part of the menu. If your site runs a very high-volume frying operation across extended service periods, or if you anticipate scaling output considerably, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better long-term fit. Equally, for smaller operations with lighter frying requirements, a single-tank or lower-output model may be more appropriate.
