The Avantco 177EF40 series electric floor fryers are engineered for high-volume commercial environments, offering faster recovery times compared to traditional gas models. These units are designed to handle a variety of fried foods, from chicken wings to mozzarella sticks, ensuring consistent, golden-brown results.

Key Features and Construction

Each unit is built with a durable stainless steel frypot, door, and backsplash, paired with galvanized steel sides to withstand the daily demands of a busy kitchen. The fryers feature fully submerged heating elements that provide superior heat absorption and quick recovery times. The sloped bottom design and integrated drain pipe facilitate efficient oil removal, simplifying the cleaning and maintenance process.

Technical Specifications

The series includes models with varying voltage and phase configurations to suit different electrical setups:

• 177EF40B: 208V, 1 Phase, 40 lb. oil capacity
• 177EF40C: 208V, 3 Phase, 40 lb. oil capacity
• 177EF40D: 240V, 1 Phase, 40 lb. oil capacity
• 177EF40E: 240V, 3 Phase, 40 lb. oil capacity

Operation and Maintenance

The built-in thermostat allows for intuitive mechanical control, reacting to varying load capacities to maintain the desired temperature. The wide cold zones within the fry tank are designed to trap sediment, which helps conserve oil and prevents flavor transfer between different food items. Regular cleaning of the frypot and proper management of the drain system are essential for maintaining optimal performance and extending the life of the equipment.
