The Roband Frypod FR111 11L Electric Single Pan Benchtop Fryer is an innovative, high-performance commercial Deep Fryer engineered specifically for Australian commercial kitchens, cafes, takeaway shops, food trucks, pubs, and catering venues. Featuring an 11-litre oil capacity and a double basket layout inside a single pan, this compact 555mm wide benchtop unit allows chefs to conserve valuable counter space while simultaneously preparing individual orders or coordinating menu items with different cooking times.

Designed and manufactured in Australia for demanding commercial environments, the Frypod FR111 boasts refined heating element responsiveness and tightened operational temperature control. By minimizing oil temperature drop when cold or frozen foods are added, it ensures rapid thermal recovery, reduced oil absorption in foods, extended oil life, and perfectly crisp results shift after shift. Built with a modern brushed stainless steel finish, a dual-lock swing-back element, a removable splashguard with bash plate, and an intelligent mechanical safety lock, this high-output fryer operates on a single-phase 15 Amp power supply (3,450W) and delivers a production capacity of up to 12.5 kg of frozen chips or 14 kg of thawed chips per hour.

Why Choose the Roband Frypod FR111 Single Pan Double Basket Fryer?

Choosing the Roband Frypod FR111 Benchtop Fryer equips commercial kitchens with a space-saving, ultra-responsive, and safe frying station built to maintain food quality and optimize daily oil management.

Key reasons commercial kitchen operators specify the Roband Frypod FR111 include:

• Double Basket Flexibility in a Single Pan: Dual independent chrome wire baskets (215mm W x 215mm D x 137mm H, 1 kg capacity each) fit within one 11L oil tank, enabling simultaneous cooking of separate orders without expanding your bench footprint.

• Precision Temperature Control & Rapid Recovery: Honed element response maintains tight temperature bands during heavy load drops—reducing oil absorption, cutting oil degradation costs, and delivering crisp, non-greasy fried food.

• Dual-Position Swing-Back Elements: Heating elements swing back and lock into two secure positions—one position for draining excess oil back into the tank and a second position for complete, effortless oil tank removal.

• Interlocked Mechanical Safety Lock: Simple yet clever safety lock prevents users from removing heating elements while powered on, and prevents the unit from being switched on when elements are disengaged.

• Removable Splashguard & Integrated Bash Plate: Functional stainless steel splashguard catches oil splatters during basket shaking and directs oil back into the pan, keeping cooking stations clean and hygienic.

• Bevelled Tank Removal Lip: Bevelled exterior body edge provides an ergonomic handhold for fast, safe lifting and draining of the removable oil tank.

• Comprehensive Safety Systems: Equipped with a safety over-temperature cut-out, element capillary guard, isolating power switch, and insulated cool-touch basket handles.

• High Output Production: Delivers a high-volume hourly output of up to 12.5 kg of frozen chips or 14 kg of thawed chips, heating from +25°C to +180°C in just 18 minutes.

• Durable Brushed Stainless Steel Exterior: Sleek, modern brushed stainless steel housing resists stains, corrosion, and heavy daily wear in high-turnover kitchens.

• High-Output 15 Amp Power Supply (3,450W): Operates on 240V single-phase 15A power to deliver 3.45 kW of thermal heating performance.

Technical Specifications

Electrical Supply Requirement: The Roband FR111 draws 3,450W (3.45 kW) and requires a dedicated 15 Amp single-phase power outlet for safe installation (it cannot be plugged into a standard 10A socket).

Delivery & Freight Notice: Commercial equipment requires dedicated freight handling. Please contact our friendly sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential address.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Pre-Heating: Position the Frypod on a flat, heat-resistant countertop. Ensure the mechanical safety lock is engaged and connect to a dedicated 240V 15A outlet. Fill the oil tank between the MIN and MAX level indicators before switching on power and setting the target temperature (+25°C to +180°C).

2. Double Basket Frying: Load up to 1 kg of food per basket. Lower the baskets into the hot oil once the thermostat indicator light confirms operating temperature. Use the two separate baskets to coordinate dishes with varying fry times simultaneously.

3. Daily Hygiene & Oil Management: At the end of trading shifts, allow oil to cool safely. Lift the heating elements into the first lock position to drain oil off the elements, or move to the second lock position to lift out the removable oil tank and splashguard for thorough cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the advantages of a double basket single pan fryer like the Roband FR111?

The double basket configuration allows kitchen staff to fry two separate food items or individual meal orders simultaneously within a single 11L pan—preventing food batches from sticking together while keeping the equipment footprint compact (555mm wide).

2. How does the Roband Frypod technology extend oil life?

The Frypod's element responsiveness minimizes temperature drops when cold or frozen food is introduced. Maintaining tighter, consistent cooking temperatures prevents food from absorbing excess oil and reduces thermal stress, extending usable oil life and lowering operating costs.

3. What electrical outlet is required for installation?

The Roband FR111 draws 3,450W on single-phase 240V power and requires a dedicated 15 Amp power socket (it will not plug into a standard 10A wall outlet).

4. How do the element locking mechanisms assist with cleaning?

The heating elements feature a dual-position swing-back hinge. The first position locks the element above the pan to allow oil to drip back into the tank, while the second position locks it completely clear so the oil pan and splashguard can be removed for washing.

5. What safety features prevent accidental operation?

The unit features an integrated mechanical interlock safety switch that cuts electrical power automatically whenever the element assembly is raised, preventing heating elements from operating outside the oil tank.
