Omcan CE-CN-0040-208-1 40 lb Electric Floor Fryer, 12 kW, 208V / 60Hz / 1Ph, Deep Cold Zone

SKU47740 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 47740 Electric Deep Fryer

The Omcan CE-CN-0040-208-1 is a 40-pound electric floor fryer that runs on 208V single-phase power at 12 kW, drawing 58A. Single-phase is available in locations where three-phase service is not installed, though the higher amperage draw requires a dedicated circuit. With 40 pounds of oil capacity and two fryer baskets included, this unit handles the continuous frying demands of busy restaurants, fast food operations, and cafeterias. A deep cold zone with a forward-sloping bottom captures food particles and crumbs below the active frying zone, which extends oil life and keeps fried food cleaner.

40-Pound Oil Capacity with Deep Cold Zone

Forty pounds of oil gives you enough thermal mass to maintain consistent frying temperature even when you drop a full basket of frozen product into the pot. The deep cold zone at the bottom of the frying pot sits below the heating elements, where oil temperature is significantly cooler. Breading crumbs, batter fragments, and small food particles settle into this zone instead of circulating in the active frying area, burning, and contaminating your oil. The result is cleaner-tasting fried food and oil that lasts longer between changes. The forward-sloping bottom of the cold zone directs sediment toward the drain for easy removal during oil changes.

Stainless Steel Frying Pot with Oil Drain Extension

The frying pot is stainless steel, which resists corrosion from the acids that develop in cooking oil over time. The front panel is also stainless steel, while the sides are galvanized for cost efficiency on non-visible surfaces. An oil draining extension lets you drain spent oil directly into a disposal container without lifting a heavy pot full of hot oil, which is both a safety and efficiency improvement. Two fryer baskets (6.5" x 12.24" x 6" each) come included, sized to handle standard portions of fries, chicken, fish, and other fried items. An on/off power switch provides simple operation. Note that a power cord is not included and field installation of the electrical connection is required.

    The Omcan 47740 Electric Deep Fryer

    About Electric Fryers

    Commercial electric fryers are built for kitchens that don't have a gas line or need more precise temperature control. They're easier to install than gas models and deliver steady results, batch after batch. If you're running a cafe, a small electric fryer covers the basics. For high-volume restaurants, go with a large floor model. Just make sure your electrical setup can handle the load.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Electric countertop fryers: Compact units that sit on a prep counter. Good for smaller operations, tight spaces, or as a backup fryer station.
    • Electric deep fryers: Full size floor units with higher oil capacity. Built for high-volume kitchens where frying is a core part of the menu.
    • Commercial double deep fryers: Two separate vats in one unit. Lets you fry different items at the same time without flavor transfer.
    • Small commercial electric fryers: Compact countertop models for lower volume operations or kitchens with limited space.
    • Large electric deep fryers: High capacity floor units for restaurants and foodservice operations running continuous frying through multiple services.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Oil capacity: Countertop fryers hold 15 to 30 pounds of oil. Floor models go from 40 up to 80 pounds or more. Choose based on your menu and how much you fry during peak hours.
    • Wattage and voltage: Most commercial electric fryers need 208V or 240V power. Standard outlets won't cut it. Check your kitchen's electrical panel before you buy.
    • Temperature control: Electric fryers give you tighter control than gas. If you want every batch the same, pick a model with digital controls.
    • Number of vats: Single vat fryers are fine for simple menus. Double vat models let you fry different foods at once without mixing flavors.
    • Recovery time: Higher wattage means the fryer bounces back faster between batches. This is key during rush periods.
    • Filtration system: Built-in filtration helps your oil last longer and cuts down on costs. Not every model has it, so check before you buy.
    • Installation: You won't need a gas line, but you do need a licensed electrician for the hookup. Make sure your panel and breakers can handle the fryer.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a commercial electric fryer and a gas fryer?

    Electric fryers are easier to install because you don't need a gas line. They give you better temperature control and are the go-to in kitchens where gas isn't an option. Gas fryers heat up and recover faster, and usually cost less to run if you're frying all day. If you need precision or don't have gas, electric is the way to go.

    What size commercial electric fryer do I need?

    It comes down to your menu and how much you fry at once. For low volume or backup, a small countertop fryer is enough. If frying is a main part of your business, go with a large floor model for more oil and faster recovery. Plan on 1 to 1.5 pounds of oil for every pound of food you fry per hour.

    Are commercial electric fryers good for restaurants?

    Yes. Electric fryers are a solid choice if you don't have a gas line or need tight temperature control. They're easy to install and handle a wide range of menu items. You'll see them in smaller restaurants, cafes, and anywhere gas isn't practical.
