Roller Grill FD 50+80 13 Ltr Double Electric Fryer

The Roller Grill FD 50+80 is a countertop double tank electric fryer with a combined capacity of 13 litres, split across a 5-litre and an 8-litre basin. The two tanks operate independently, each with its own heating element and thermostat, allowing different foods to be fried simultaneously at different temperatures or simply keeping oils separate by food type.

In a busy café or small restaurant kitchen, having two tanks running independently makes a practical difference during service. The larger 8-litre tank handles high-demand items such as chips, while the smaller 5-litre tank takes flavour-strong foods — garlic mushrooms, samosas, battered fish — without contaminating the main chip oil. This approach extends oil life in both tanks and keeps flavours cleaner, which matters in tight kitchens where oil management directly affects running costs and food quality. The unit's cold zone beneath the element also helps reduce oil degradation by limiting the temperature at which food particles settle.

From a practical standpoint, this fryer is straightforward to operate and maintain:

• Removable element head and oil pan simplify daily cleaning and oil changes
• Safety micro switch prevents the element operating unless correctly positioned
• Secondary safety thermostat provides an additional layer of protection for operators
• Heat-resistant basket handles reduce burn risk during busy service
• Supplied with two separate plugs and cables for independent socket connection

Being a countertop unit, the FD 50+80 requires adequate worktop space and suitable 13-amp socket access for each tank. It does not require hard-wired installation, which suits smaller sites without dedicated electrical infrastructure for catering equipment. It is not designed for very high-volume output — a standalone fish and chip shop or large-volume quick-service operation would typically require a heavier-duty freestanding model with greater oil capacity and faster recovery.

This fryer is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and similar light-to-medium service environments where a compact footprint and the flexibility of two separate oil tanks genuinely earns its place on the pass. Sites needing significantly higher throughput or larger oil volumes would benefit from considering a higher-capacity alternative from the range.
