The Frymaster FPRE117 is a high-efficiency electric fryer system engineered for commercial kitchens that require dependable production capacity, integrated oil management, and consistent frying performance. Built around Frymaster’s RE17 platform, the FPRE117 combines a 50 lb. open-pot fryer with a space-saving built-in filtration system designed to improve oil longevity, reduce labor requirements, and maintain consistent product quality during high-volume operation.

The fryer utilizes proprietary self-standing, swing-up, flat-bar, low-watt density heating elements that provide efficient heat transfer while supporting easier maintenance access and long service life. Its RTD 1° compensating temperature probe continuously responds to cooking load variations, helping maintain accurate oil temperatures and minimizing temperature overshoot that can shorten oil life. A deep cold zone and rear oil flush system further assist with sediment removal, preserving oil quality and simplifying daily cleaning procedures.

The integrated filtration system is designed directly into the fryer battery cabinet, allowing filtration cycles to be completed in less than five minutes while neighboring frypots remain operational. The system includes a large-capacity filter pan, stainless steel crumb catcher, 1/3 H.P. filter motor, and 4 GPM pump for efficient oil circulation and maintenance. ENERGY STAR® qualification and ASTM energy efficiency ratings exceeding 83% make the FPRE117 suitable for operators seeking reduced utility consumption and lower long-term operating costs.

With stainless steel construction, programmable CM3.5 controls, boil-out mode, melt cycle functionality, and optional accessories such as basket lifts and spreader cabinets, the FPRE117 is well suited for quick-service restaurants, institutional foodservice, convenience stores, and high-output commercial frying applications.
