Double your frying capacity, prevent allergen cross-contamination, and serve consistently crispy menu items with the Apuro CU619-A Twin Tank Countertop Electric Fryer. Engineered for space-conscious cafes, takeaways, food trailers, mobile catering setups, and busy pub kitchens, this high-output twin vat fryer pairs dual independent 2.8kW immersion elements with precision German-engineered EGO thermostats to keep up with demanding service tickets.
Independent Twin-Tank Versatility & Energy Savings
Featuring two completely isolated 5-litre oil vats (10-litre total capacity), the Apuro CU619-A allows kitchens to fry distinct menu items simultaneously without flavour or allergen transfer. Keep hot chips and gluten-free items strictly segregated from battered fish, calamari, or crumbed chicken. Because each tank is fitted with its own independent power lead, master switch, and thermostat dial, operators can run a single 5L tank during quiet trade to cut energy consumption in half and preserve the oil life of the unused tank.
Precision EGO Thermostats & Digital Timers
Equipped with premium EGO dial thermostats spanning 60°C to 190°C, this fryer ensures pinpoint temperature accuracy and fast thermal recovery between baskets. Each tank features an integrated digital timer with an audible countdown alarm and visual ready indicator lights, allowing staff to standardise cook times across shifts, eliminate undercooked tickets, and slash costly food wastage. Built-in thermal safety cut-out sensors automatically isolate power if temperatures exceed safe thresholds.
Commercial Stainless Steel Build with Dual 10A Plugs
Constructed entirely from heavy-duty commercial stainless steel, the CU619-A disassembles rapidly for easy end-of-shift washdowns. Each tank includes a sub-element batter protection plate to trap crumbs in the cool zone below the element, extending oil life. To avoid costly 15A or three-phase rewiring, the unit is fitted with two separate standard Australian 10 Amp power leads, offering ultimate plug-and-play flexibility on commercial benchtops. Heavy-duty wire baskets with stay-cool grips and stainless steel night lids come included as standard.

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation
To preserve frying oil quality, prevent carbon accumulation, and maintain heating element efficiency:
-
Oil Draining & Filtration: At the close of trade, allow the oil to cool to a safe handling temperature (under 40°C). Lift out the element control heads and sub-element protection plates. Slowly lift out the individual stainless steel oil tanks and pour the spent oil through a commercial oil filter cone into an approved disposal container.
-
Tank & Basket Washdown: Wash the removable stainless steel tanks, wire baskets, and element protection plates in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a neutral commercial kitchen degreaser. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely before refilling with fresh oil. Never introduce wet baskets into hot oil.
-
Element Head Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel heating elements and exterior control head casing using a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Never submerge the electric control heads, power cords, or plugs in water, and never spray them with a pre-rinse spray gun.
-
Regular Tank Boil-Out: To remove stubborn, sticky polymerised oil residues, fill the empty tanks with clean water and a diluted, food-safe commercial fryer boil-out cleaner. Heat to a gentle simmer for 15 minutes, turn off the power, drain, scrub with a non-scratch nylon sponge, and rinse thoroughly. Neutralise with a splash of diluted white vinegar, dry thoroughly, and reassemble.
-
Night Lid Deployment: Place the stainless steel lids over the oil vats whenever the fryer is inactive or turned off overnight to prevent airborne contaminants, moisture, and dust from degrading oil quality.
Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines
The Apuro CU619-A is designed for rapid countertop integration across commercial catering environments:
-
Dual 10A Electrical Connection: The fryer features two separate power leads, each fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug. For safe operation when running both 2.8kW tanks simultaneously, plug each lead into separate electrical circuits or ensure the power point circuit can handle the combined electrical load without tripping safety breakers. Avoid using domestic adapters or multi-plug power boards.
-
Benchtop Setup: Position the fryer on a flat, level, sturdy, and heat-resistant commercial stainless steel workbench. Ensure the non-slip rubber feet are firmly seated to prevent movement during busy service.
-
Clearances & Ventilation: Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 100 mm at the rear and sides of the unit for heat dissipation. Operate the fryer under a commercial kitchen exhaust hood or well-ventilated prep canopy compliant with AS 1668.2 to extract grease-laden cooking vapours.
-
Separation from Open Flames & Water: Maintain a minimum distance of at least 400 mm between the open fryer wells and any adjacent open-flame cooking equipment (such as gas chargrills or open burner ranges) to eliminate the risk of grease splash ignition. Keep the unit safely away from washdown sinks and spray hoses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this fryer have two separate power leads?
Each 5-litre tank is powered by its own heavy-duty 2.8kW heating element. To keep the appliance compatible with standard Australian single-phase 10A power points (avoiding the need for expensive 15A or three-phase hardwiring), each element is wired to its own dedicated 10A plug. You can plug each lead into separate wall sockets to run either one tank or both tanks simultaneously.
Can I run just one tank during quiet trade?
Yes. Because each tank has its own dedicated power lead, on/off master switch, and EGO thermostat dial, you can operate a single 5-litre tank during quiet service periods. This cuts power consumption in half, reduces utility costs, and extends the life of the oil in the unused vat.
How does the twin tank design help prevent allergen cross-contamination?
Having two completely isolated oil tanks allows commercial operators to cook allergen-sensitive items (such as gluten-free chips) in one tank while frying battered seafood, crumbed chicken tenders, or wheat-based snacks in the other. Since the oils never mix, flavours and allergens remain strictly segregated.
What is the benefit of the EGO thermostats?
German-engineered EGO thermostats are the commercial industry benchmark for precision temperature regulation. They respond rapidly to temperature drops when cold baskets are lowered, recovering heat quickly to ensure chips and snacks absorb less oil and emerge crisp, golden, and properly cooked.
Does the unit have safety cut-out protection if oil gets too hot?
Yes. Each element assembly is equipped with an automatic thermal safety cut-out sensor. If the oil reaches dangerously high temperatures or if the unit is accidentally powered on without sufficient oil in the tank, the safety switch automatically cuts power to the heating element to prevent oil scorching, element burnout, and fire hazards.
