The Frymaster RE180 17KW High-Production Electric Fryer is engineered for commercial kitchens requiring high-volume frying capacity, fast recovery performance, and effective sediment management. Designed with an expansive 18" × 18" frying area and an 80 lb. oil capacity, the RE180 is particularly suited for high-production menu applications such as bone-in chicken, fresh-breaded products, and large-batch frying operations. The fryer achieves ASTM-tested energy efficiency ratings of 83%, supporting reduced operating costs while maintaining strong production output of up to 84 lbs. of French fries per hour.

The fryer features proprietary self-standing, swing-up, low-watt density heating elements that provide efficient heat transfer while simplifying cleaning and maintenance access. A durable RTD 1° compensating temperature probe and digital controller system deliver rapid heat response and accurate temperature management to improve product consistency and extend oil life. The deep cold zone, sloped frypot bottom, and large sediment collection area help maintain oil quality and support easier cleaning routines. Stainless steel frypot construction, cabinet sides, and door panels enhance durability in demanding foodservice environments. Optional accessories such as CM3.5 controllers, basket lifts, spreader cabinets, and built-in filtration configurations provide additional operational flexibility for larger commercial kitchen operations.
