FriFri Touch 422 Free Standing Twin-Tank Electric Fryer TL422M31G0

The FriFri Touch 422 is a free-standing, twin-tank electric fryer designed for continuous, high-volume frying in professional kitchen environments. Each tank holds 15 litres of oil, and the unit is operated via a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface that gives kitchen teams straightforward access to 24 programmable cooking profiles. The controls are icon-driven and designed to be readable quickly during service, which matters when staff are moving fast and noise levels are high.

In a working kitchen, consistency is as important as throughput. The Touch 422 uses adaptive cooking logic that adjusts frying times based on batch size — so a smaller load doesn't receive the same cycle as a full basket, reducing the risk of overcooking during quieter periods. The optional LiftFri automatic basket lift removes food from the oil at the end of the cycle without operator intervention, which helps maintain consistent results when attention is divided across multiple stations. A traffic-light status display — the ColourCue system — gives a clear at-a-glance read on fryer state without requiring staff to interpret text prompts under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the Touch 422 addresses several areas that typically create friction in busy frying sections:

• Onscreen oil quality monitoring helps operators judge when filtration or oil changes are needed
• Hot oil filtration mid-service is supported, with the fryer typically returning to operation in under five minutes
• Energy consumption data is logged over rolling 8-hour, 24-hour, 7-day, and 28-day periods, supporting cost visibility
• USB-based software updates allow the operating firmware to be updated without engineering visits
• Hinged elements with two tilt positions and radiused tank corners make cleaning more straightforward at the end of service

Installation requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before ordering. At 79kg the unit will need appropriate handling on delivery and positioning, and adequate ventilation above the fryer should be in place, typically via an extraction canopy. The footprint is relatively compact for a twin-tank floor-standing unit, but bench and access space around the fryer should be considered during kitchen planning.

The Touch 422 is well suited to fish and chip shops, pub kitchens, casual dining restaurants, and contract catering operations where consistent fried output across a full service is a routine expectation rather than an occasional requirement. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands or where multiple frying positions are needed, a larger-capacity floor-standing model may be worth considering. For lower-volume sites or where counter space is the constraint, a smaller countertop fryer may be a more proportionate choice.
