Pitco SE18S-SSTC Free Standing Electric Fryer 38Ltr

The Pitco SE18S-SSTC is a free-standing electric fryer built for continuous commercial use. It runs a single 38-litre tank with twin basket capacity and solid state temperature controls, giving operators repeatable, stable frying conditions without the complexity of programmable systems. It is a straightforward, reliable fryer intended for kitchens that need consistent output across a full service.

With a rated output of 54kg per hour, this unit is well suited to high-throughput frying sections — fish and chip operations, pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, and casual dining sites where the fryer is running hard throughout both lunch and evening service. Solid state controls provide accurate temperature management, which matters for oil longevity as much as for product consistency. Recovery between batches is dependable, and the twin basket arrangement allows staggered drops to help maintain steady service flow.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Solid state controls reduce the risk of temperature overshoot and protect oil quality
• Twin basket configuration supports continuous batch frying without interruption
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
• 54kg/hr output covers high-demand service periods without the unit labouring
• Free-standing format allows flexible positioning within the frying station

At 93kg and with a footprint of 498mm wide by 975mm deep, this is a substantial piece of kit that requires a firm, level floor position and adequate clearance to surrounding surfaces. As an electric model, it requires a suitable three-phase supply in most installations — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before ordering. Ventilation requirements will depend on your existing canopy arrangement, and local building regulations regarding extraction should be considered.

This fryer is a practical choice for mid-to-large commercial kitchens with consistent frying demand. Smaller operations with lighter or intermittent frying requirements may find a lower-capacity model more appropriate, while very high-volume sites running multiple frying lines may benefit from a heavier-duty unit with a larger tank or greater output rating.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volumes or installation setup, we are happy to talk it through — getting the right fryer in place first time saves considerable disruption later.
