Product Description
The Lincat Opus 800 OE8112 is a free-standing single-tank electric fryer built to the specification of Lincat's Opus 800 series — a range designed around the practical demands of commercial kitchen service rather than occasional use. It operates as a standalone floor unit with a 16-litre tank, making it a straightforward choice for kitchens where consistent fried output is required throughout a service period without the footprint of a twin-tank arrangement.
In a working kitchen, the OE8112 performs well across steady, continuous service. The close-tolerance thermostat holds oil temperature reliably between consecutive batches, which matters when results need to be consistent from the pass. Recovery between loads is dependable, and the unit is built to handle the repetition of a full service rather than occasional bursts of use.
Several design details translate directly into operational advantages:
- Hinged, lift-out element with safety interlock allows full tank access for cleaning without draining
- Fully welded tank construction reduces build-up at joints and simplifies daily cleaning
- Close-tolerance thermostat supports repeatable results across consecutive batches
- Inclined tank base and large-bore drain speed up oil changes between services
- Heavy-duty nickel-plated wire basket supplied as standard
Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and adequate overhead ventilation — either a canopy extraction system or a proximity extract unit positioned above the fryer. As a free-standing unit, it needs floor space that allows safe access to the drain and element from the front and is not intended for countertop installation. Kitchens running very high volumes of fried food across simultaneous service lines may find a twin-tank or higher-output unit better matched to their throughput.
The OE8112 is a practical fit for pubs, cafés, smaller restaurants, and contract catering operations where a reliable single-tank electric fryer handles the core frying requirement without overcomplicating the setup. For sites with lighter or occasional frying needs, a smaller countertop unit may offer a more cost-effective solution.
If you'd like to talk through whether this fryer is the right size for your service volumes or kitchen configuration, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is well suited to steady, continuous frying across a single service period in a pub or similar operation. If your kitchen runs high volumes of fried food simultaneously across multiple covers or operates split services with very short turnaround times, a twin-tank configuration may give you more flexibility.
- The OE8112 requires a dedicated electrical supply rated to the unit's specification and must be installed beneath adequate ventilation — either a fixed extraction canopy or a proximity extract system mounted directly above. As a free-standing floor unit, you'll also need sufficient clearance at the front for safe access to the drain and element during cleaning and oil changes.
- The fully welded tank removes the joint lines where grease typically accumulates, making routine cleaning quicker. The hinged lift-out element with safety interlock lets you access the full tank interior without draining the oil first, which is a practical time-saver during a service. When an oil change is needed, the inclined base and large-bore drain are designed to make that process faster and cleaner.
