Hobart Ecomax HEFRG77A Twin Tank Gas Fryer
£3,809.00(£4,570.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Hobart Ecomax HEFRG77A is a floor-standing twin tank gas fryer built for continuous commercial frying. It houses two independent oil wells, each served by its own burner assembly, which means operators can run different products or different oils simultaneously without any crossover. The stainless steel construction throughout is appropriate for the wear and cleaning demands of a professional kitchen.
In a busy service, the twin tank configuration earns its place by preventing the bottleneck that a single tank creates under sustained demand. Because each well operates entirely independently, a temperature drop caused by a heavy batch in one tank has no effect on the other. Each burner handles its own recovery, keeping wait times short during peak periods. The arrangement also supports continuous operation — one tank can stay live while the other is being filtered, drained, or cleaned, which is a practical advantage in kitchens that cannot afford downtime mid-service.
Key operational advantages include:
- Dual independent tanks for running different products or oils simultaneously
- Continuous service capability — one tank can remain live during maintenance of the other
- Stainless steel construction supports durability and straightforward cleaning
- Gas operation suits kitchens where gas is the established energy source
- Supplied with baskets and lids as standard, ready for service from installation
Installation requires a gas supply at the appropriate pressure and flow rate for the combined burner demand, and this should be assessed and connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before the unit goes into service. At 97kg, positioning needs to be planned in advance — the floor must be capable of supporting the loaded weight, and adequate clearance is needed around the unit for both ventilation and safe operation. A canopy extraction system positioned to capture frying vapours effectively is essential in almost all commercial settings. Access to both drain valves should be confirmed during planning, as routine oil management depends on it.
This fryer is well suited to mid- to high-volume operations — fish and chip shops, pub kitchens, hotel restaurants, and contract catering environments — where consistent frying output across a full service is a practical requirement. It is a reasonable choice where a single tank would create a throughput limitation, provided the site has the gas infrastructure and ventilation to support a unit of this capacity. For sites with even greater demand or those running multiple frying stations, a heavier-duty configuration may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen and service volumes, the team is available to help you work through the options before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is a twin tank fryer the right choice for my service volume?
A twin tank fryer is generally appropriate where a single tank would create a bottleneck during peak service — typically operations producing sustained frying output across a full service period, such as fish and chip shops, busy pub kitchens, or contract catering sites. If your frying demand is relatively modest or intermittent, a single tank unit may be a more practical fit; if you are running a very high-volume or multi-station operation, a heavier-duty configuration may be worth discussing.
What are the key installation requirements for this fryer?
The HEFRG77A requires a gas supply at the correct pressure and flow rate for the combined burner demand — a Gas Safe registered engineer must assess and connect the supply before the unit is used. You will also need a suitable canopy extraction system positioned to capture frying vapours, sufficient floor loading capacity for the unit at operational weight, and clear access to both drain valves for routine oil management.
Can I run different oils or products in each tank at the same time?
Yes — because each tank operates entirely independently with its own burner and thermostat, you can run different oils or different product types simultaneously without any crossover. This is one of the practical advantages of a twin tank configuration, particularly for kitchens that need to keep allergen-controlled or flavour-sensitive products separate.
