Lincat Opus 800 OG8111/OP/N 2 x 14 Ltr Natural Gas Freestanding Twin Tank Fryer

A resourceful frying unit that operates with minimal downtime, the Opus 800 Twin Tank Fryer owes its efficiency to its sophisticated filtration system. This system allows used oil to be filtered and used again in the space of five minutes - even while the oil is still hot - which saves you spending on additional oil, cutting both costs and time out of your daily routine. By delicately controlling the frying temperature through the integrated thermostat you have complete control over the cooking process from entry through to draining the basket.

Please Note: As of Feb 2020, the gas hose connection changed to 3/4".

Why should I buy the OG8111/OP/N?

 This powerful, commercial twin tank fryer will cook up to 64 kilos of chips every hour; it also features an efficient integral pumped oil filtration system which will filter oil - even if hot - and have the tank back in service within 5 minutes. If your catering business provides a variety of fried foods to your customers then a twin tank fryer becomes indispensable. This is especially true if contamination is a real issue - for example with vegetarian or vegan options and ‘free-from’ alternatives.

Independently controlled twin tank fryers can cook different foodstuffs at different temperatures; additionally, during out of peak periods, only one tank may need to be in operation at any one time, reducing energy costs. The OG8111/OP/N is part of the new Opus 800 series of commercial cooking equipment from Lincat. Opus 800 units are Lincat’s jewel in the crown - they are highly energy efficient and are intended for long term, heavy duty use in the busiest of catering kitchens. This free standing appliance has an hourly output of 44 kilos of chips from frozen and 64 kilos from chilled - that works out at up to 600 portions per hour.

The fryer requires a 1 phase electric supply and a ½” gas connection; gas hose is available as an optional accessory in lengths of 1000mm and 1500mm. The unit is fitted with castors for manoeuvrability; height adjustable legs are available optionally. The external dimensions are 1070mm(h) x 600mm(w) x 800mm(d); each oil tank has a capacity of 14 litres and dimensions of 190mm x 470mm. Two heavy duty wire spun baskets with full lids are supplied as standard, with batter plates and a stainless steel bucket with pouring spout and handle. Side splashguards are available as options.

The total power to the unit is 32kW with accurate thermostatic control to 190°C - there are 5°C increments from 170°C for accuracy and consistent results. The piezo ignition is easy to use and the externally fired heating gives easy access for cleaning the tank. The fryer sits flush to the wall with a recess for services.

The tank is fully welded of mild steel and the base is inclined for easy draining. Oil drainage is through the body of the fryer. The pumped filtration option enables oil to be filtered and the fryer ready for use again within a few minutes. Oil can be filtered during or after service, or even while it’s still hot; this reduces the chance of spillages and also saves money by extending oil life - and therefore reduces disposal costs too; it also provides cleaner and better tasting fried foods for longer.

A hose and lance are supplied for easy discharge of the oil into a waste container. A two pump filtration option is available for twin tank fryers which will remove cross contamination from either side of the fryer. Opus 800 units feature the latest in technological advances and are heavier, more durable and more powerful than ever. With a uniform depth of 800mm, they provide a bigger cooking area and greater production capacity. Lincat provide a full UK 2 year on site parts and labour warranty on this product.

Pumped filtration option

The integral pumped filtration option enables oil to be filtered and the fryer ready for use again in less than 5 minutes. Oil can be filtered during or after service, even whilst hot, maximising oil life. This eliminates the need to lift heavy containers, reducing contact with hot oil and the chances of hazardous spillages.

This option is supplied with a hose with lance for easy discharge of oil into a waste container.

Gravity filtration accessory (sold separately) 

The integral gravity filtration accessory converts the base model into a fryer with two-stage gravity filtration. This extends oil life, reduces disposal costs and provides a better tasting product for longer.
