Roller Grill FD 80D 16 Litre Double Tank Electric Fryer

The Roller Grill FD 80D is a double-tank countertop electric fryer with a combined 16-litre oil capacity split across two independent basins. Each tank operates independently, allowing different foods to be fried simultaneously without flavour transfer — useful in any operation where fish, meat and vegetable items are on the menu at the same time. The unit is supplied with two plugs and cables, which means it can be connected to standard socket outlets without requiring hardwired installation.

In a busy service environment, the FD 80D is capable of handling a meaningful throughput of fresh or frozen product. The cold zone beneath the heating element is a practical design detail: food debris sinks below the active cooking area rather than burning in contact with the element, which slows oil degradation and reduces the frequency of oil changes. This matters in any operation where oil cost and quality are being managed carefully.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Twin independent tanks allow simultaneous frying of different food types
• Cold zone design extends oil life and helps maintain frying quality during service
• Removable element head and oil pan simplify daily cleaning and end-of-service maintenance
• Safety micro switch prevents operation unless the element is correctly positioned
• Secondary safety thermostat provides an additional layer of protection for operators

Because the unit runs from standard plug connections, installation is straightforward — there are no specialist electrical requirements, and no gas or water supply is needed. It sits comfortably on a countertop and is suited to kitchens where worktop space is limited. The compact format does mean oil capacity per tank is modest, so operators running a very high-volume frying operation continuously through a long service period should consider whether a larger-capacity floor-standing unit would be more appropriate.

The FD 80D is well suited to cafés, snack bars, small restaurants, and catering operations where a reliable countertop double fryer covers the menu without the footprint or cost of a full-size range. For sites with more demanding frying volumes, or where frying is a primary revenue line rather than a supporting item, a higher-capacity alternative from the range may be worth discussing.
