FriFri Touch 422 Free Standing Twin Tank Electric Fryer TL422H31G0

The FriFri Touch 422 is a free-standing, twin-tank electric fryer designed for busy commercial kitchen environments where consistent output and operational control are priorities. Running on three-phase power, it provides two independent frying tanks with a combined capacity of 15 litres, giving operators the flexibility to run different products simultaneously or maintain a continuous service flow during peak periods.

In a working kitchen, the Touch 422 earns its place through reliability and throughput. The adaptive cooking system monitors batch size and adjusts cooking times accordingly, which matters considerably when loads vary between covers — a common reality in any busy service. The optional LiftFri automatic basket-lifting system removes food from the oil at the end of the cooking cycle, reducing the risk of overcooking during busy periods when staff attention is divided. The ColourCue traffic-light status display gives a clear at-a-glance read on fryer state — useful in a loud, fast-moving kitchen where checking a screen in detail is not always practical.

From an operational standpoint, several features make day-to-day management more straightforward:

• 24 programmable icon-driven menu items allow consistent results across different operators and shifts
• The 4.3-inch QPad touchscreen is straightforward to navigate and reduces training time
• Onboard energy monitoring covers usage over 8 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, and 28 days — useful for managing running costs
• Hot oil filtration mid-service is possible and can be completed in under five minutes, minimising downtime
• Hinged elements with two tilt positions and radiused tank corners simplify cleaning at the end of service

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which should be confirmed with your electrician before ordering. At 79kg, the unit needs careful positioning and adequate access for delivery and installation. The footprint is compact relative to the output, but ventilation requirements should be checked against your kitchen's extraction capability. USB-based software updates mean the control system can be kept current without engineer visits for firmware changes.

The Touch 422 is well suited to mid-to-high-volume operations — busy pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, contract catering sites, and similar environments where frying forms a significant part of the menu. The twin-tank configuration suits operators running multiple fried products or needing a degree of redundancy during service. For sites with lighter frying demands, a smaller single-tank model may be a more practical fit; for very high-volume dedicated frying operations, a larger-capacity unit may be worth considering.
