INHOSPAN FE60 Professional Electric Fryers – 18 Litres

INHOSPAN FE60 Professional Electric Fryers – 18 Litres

Product description

The INHOSPAN FE60 range comprises three professional countertop electric fryers, each with an 18-litre capacity. The FE60-A, FE60-B and FE60-C models share the same tank, dimensions and stainless steel construction. Their main difference is the available electrical power: 5, 10 or 15 kW.

Choosing your FE60 model

• FE60-A – 5 kW: the lowest installed power in the range.

• FE60-B – 10 kW: intermediate power.

• FE60-C – 15 kW: the highest power in the FE60 range.

All three versions have the same capacity. The choice therefore depends mainly on the required power and compatibility with the available electrical supply. The preferred model can be selected directly from the product variants.

Professional design

The FE60 combines an 18-litre conical stainless steel tank with a removable heating element. Its circular tank, with a diameter of 600 mm, provides a generous cooking surface for preparing churros and other light or delicate fried products.

• Stainless steel tank and frame.

• Removable heating element for easier access to the tank.

• Thermostatic temperature control.

• Minimum and maximum oil level markings.

• Handles integrated into the frame.

• Recommended maximum operating temperature: 200 °C.

Professional applications

The INHOSPAN FE60 range is particularly suitable for preparing churros, doughnuts and other light or delicate fried products. Its countertop design allows it to be installed on a professional cooking station with sufficient space for its dimensions.

Are gas and electric kW ratings equivalent?

A kilowatt is the same unit of power whether it is used for gas or electrical equipment. However, a 10 kW electric fryer and a 10 kW gas fryer do not necessarily transfer the same useful power to the oil. Their efficiency and production capacity may therefore differ.

For the FE60 range, the 5, 10 and 15 kW ratings refer to the nominal electrical power of the heating element. On a gas fryer, the stated kW rating generally refers to the burner's thermal input. Some of this energy may be lost before reaching the oil, particularly through exhaust gases and heat transfer losses.

There is therefore no universal conversion factor for directly converting gas kW into electric kW. When comparing fryers, other factors must also be considered, including oil capacity, tank design, heating system, temperature control and heat recovery time during service.

Key point: the nominal kW rating alone is not enough to compare the actual power transferred to the oil or the production capacity of an electric fryer and a gas fryer.

Electrical installation: checks before ordering

INHOSPAN's FE60 documentation indicates 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase configurations, depending on the model and order. The manufacturer also mentions a connection cable, but does not specify a single circuit breaker rating, cable cross-section, plug type or residual-current protection for the entire range.

Before installation:

• Confirm the exact voltage and electrical configuration of the model being ordered.

• Check that the site's electrical supply is rated for the selected power: 5, 10 or 15 kW.

• Do not determine the plug type, cable cross-section or protective device rating from the kW figure alone.

• Have the connection and protective devices checked by a qualified professional in accordance with the site's electrical installation and applicable regulations.

Maintenance

The stainless steel construction and removable heating element provide easier access to the tank and main surfaces for routine cleaning and maintenance.
