Lincat add third filtration fryer to Opus 700 range

Lincat, the UK’s leading manufacturer of commercial catering equipment, has added a powerful new fryer, with built-in oil filtration, to its heavy duty Opus 700 range of prime cooking equipment. The new fryer, the OE7105/F, which is designed to save money by extending the life of cooking oil by up to 50%, is priced at £3740.

OE7105-FLincat’s new filtration fryer is a variant of the popular Opus 700 electric twin tank (2x7 kW) model, the OE7105. Its introduction follows the successful launch earlier in the year of Lincat’s first Opus 700 filtration fryers: the single tank 22 kW OE7108/F and the twin tank 2x12 kW OE7113/F. These are priced at £3845 and £3965 respectively.

Simple to operate, the new filtration system drains the oil from the tank through the primary filter to remove the largest particles and cooking debris. At the push of a button, the oil is then pumped through a premium carbon pad filter which can remove particles as fine as 0.5 microns (0.0005mm), before being pumped back into the tank ready for use. The whole process takes between four and six minutes for a full tank of oil.

“Cooking oil lasts longer if it is filtered on a daily basis”, said Nick McDonald, Marketing and Export Director of Lincat Ltd. “However if done manually this can be an unpleasant and even hazardous operation. Potential risks arise from the manual handling of oil, including lifting injuries, burning and slipping.  Our Opus 700 fryers, with built in oil filtration, tackle these problems head on.”

He continued…

“The filtration system is supremely easy to use and, in terms of savings on oil, can pay for itself in as little as ten months. But these fryers don’t just save money – they produce better tasting, healthier food thanks to their well filtered oil. As a result they are already proving to be popular additions to the Opus 700 range. The launch of the OE7105/F means that we can now offer a heavy duty filtration fryer to suit the majority of applications.”

Altogether there are eleven fryers in the Opus 700 range. The electric models feature hinged ‘lift-and-park’ elements and the gas models are externally fired. Both of these designs allow unobstructed access to the fryer tanks for ease of cleaning. The tanks have inclined bases and large bore drain valves to aid draining. As with all products in the Lincat Opus 700 range, the new fryers are supplied with a two-year parts and labour warranty as standard.

Overall there are more than 450 products in the Lincat range including: fryers, griddles, grills, ovens and combi steamers as well as beverage equipment, hot cupboards, trolleys and food display merchandisers. Excellent customer service is provided through Lincat’s extensive national and international dealer network.  

Lincat Ltd is part of the Lincat Group of companies. Sister companies IMC Ltd and Britannia Kitchen Ventilation Ltd operate in the commercial catering equipment sector. Lincat Group company Mercury Appliances Ltd designs and manufactures domestic cooking appliances.
