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.
