The Frymaster FPRE217 is a dual high-efficiency electric fryer battery designed for commercial kitchens that require strong frying output, precise temperature control, and integrated oil management. Each open frypot provides 50 lbs. of oil capacity with 17 kW input, using Frymaster’s proprietary self-standing, swing-up, low-watt density heating elements to deliver efficient heat transfer, long service life, and easier access for cleaning. The RTD 1° compensating temperature probe helps maintain accurate oil temperatures, reduce overshoot, and support consistent product quality during continuous frying.

The built-in filtration system is housed within the fryer battery, helping save floor space while making daily oil maintenance faster and more practical. Its large-capacity filter pan, 4 GPM pump, 1/3 H.P. filter motor, rear oil flush, deep cold zone, and stainless crumb catcher help remove sediment efficiently and extend oil life. With stainless steel frypots, doors, and cabinet construction, CM3.5 controls, melt cycle, boil-out mode, casters, and optional basket lifts or external oil discharge, the FPRE217 is well suited for QSRs, cafeterias, institutional kitchens, and high-volume restaurants focused on production consistency and lower operating costs.
