Product Description
The Lincat Opus 800 OE8112 is a free-standing, floor-mounted single-tank electric fryer built to the specification of the Opus 800 series — a range designed around the practical demands of continuous commercial service rather than occasional or light use. With a 16-litre tank, it occupies a manageable footprint and is a straightforward choice for kitchens where consistent fried output is needed throughout a service period without the complexity of a twin-tank arrangement.
In a busy working kitchen, the OE8112 holds its own across steady, repetitive service. The close-tolerance thermostat maintains oil temperature reliably between consecutive batches, which matters when consistency at the pass is non-negotiable. Recovery between loads is dependable, and the unit is built for the rhythm of a full service shift 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 joint build-up and simplifies daily cleaning routines
- Close-tolerance thermostat supports repeatable results across back-to-back batches
- Inclined tank base and large-bore drain speed up oil changes between services
- Heavy-duty nickel-plated wire basket supplied as standard
As a free-standing unit, the OE8112 requires adequate floor space that allows safe front access to the drain and element — it is not suited to countertop installation. Overhead ventilation is essential, either via a canopy extraction system or a proximity extract unit positioned directly above the fryer. 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 demands.
The OE8112 is well suited to pubs, cafés, smaller restaurants, and contract catering operations where a dependable single-tank electric fryer covers the core frying requirement without overcomplicating the setup. For sites with lighter or less frequent frying needs, a smaller countertop model may offer a more cost-effective alternative.
If you're weighing up whether this fryer is the right fit for your service volumes or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the Opus 800 series is built for continuous commercial use rather than light or occasional frying, and the OE8112 performs well in steady, back-to-back service conditions typical of a pub kitchen. That said, if your operation runs multiple frying lines simultaneously or has very high peak demand for fried food, it is worth discussing whether a twin-tank arrangement would be a better match for your throughput.
- The OE8112 is a floor-standing unit that requires a suitable electrical supply and adequate overhead ventilation — either a canopy extraction system or a proximity extract unit positioned above the fryer. You will also need to ensure sufficient floor space at the front of the unit for safe access to the drain and element. If you are unsure about your electrical supply capacity or ventilation setup, it is worth confirming these details with your installer before ordering.
- The hinged, lift-out element with safety interlock allows the tank to be cleaned without fully draining the oil, which simplifies daily end-of-service routines. When an oil change is required, the inclined tank base and large-bore drain allow the process to be completed relatively quickly. The fully welded tank construction also helps by eliminating joints where oil residue typically accumulates.
