Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 391381 – 900XP, One Well Electric Fryer 23 liter

Eighteen kilowatts into a single 21–23 lt well gives the 391381 a published output of 37.5 kg/hr, inspired by ASTM F1361. That figure frames this unit as a main-line fryer rather than a support appliance in a ship’s galley.

The supply is 440 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz, so it drops straight onto a standard marine distribution board without a transformer or frequency converter. That matters where the fryer is one of several 900XP modules sharing a galley section: the electrical balance across phases and the total installed load have to sit inside the vessel’s 440 V, 60 Hz hotel services envelope. Net weight is 57 kg, with a shipping weight of 70 kg and a shipping volume of 0.51 m³ at 1080 x 460 x 1020 mm, so the logistics of bringing it aboard and into the galley can be planned against real numbers rather than estimates.

The usable well dimensions are 340 x 400 x 575 mm (width x depth x height). In practice that footprint decides what baskets can be used and how many portions can be dropped per batch. The 21 lt minimum and 23 lt maximum oil capacities set the charge volume, which in turn affects heat-up time and recovery after loading. A thermostat range from 105 °C to 185 °C covers gentle work at the lower end and high-temperature frying at the upper end, so the same well can be used for different products without over-driving the oil. The performance figure of 37.5 kg/hr is tied explicitly to that well geometry and power input, rather than being a generic series claim.

On board, IPX5 water ingress protection is not an abstract number; it is what allows the fryer to stand up to washdown regimes that use spray rather than manual wiping. The Scotch-Brite finished exterior panels are specified to look consistent with other 900XP line equipment while being easier to clean than a mirror finish in a salt-laden atmosphere. Flush-fitting side edges mean adjacent modules can be joined without gaps that trap soil, so the bank of equipment can be treated as a single surface when cleaning crews work the line.

Build and control

• IPX5 rated against water ingress
• Scotch-Brite finished exterior panels
• Flush-fitting side edges for gap-free installation
• Rounded internal corners for cleaning
• Overheat cut-out

Rounded internal corners inside the well reduce the risk of debris sitting in sharp angles, which simplifies daily cleaning and reduces the time the fryer has to be offline between services. The overheat cut-out is the safety backstop that protects the elements and oil if the level drops below the specified 21 lt minimum, or if the thermostat fails; on a vessel, an overheated fryer is both a service interruption and an unnecessary hot spot for the ventilation system to deal with.

This unit is the right choice where a galley needs a single, general-purpose electric fryer in a 900XP line-up with a 440 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz supply and has planned for an 18 kW draw on that section. It is the wrong choice where the concept requires multiple frying wells with segregated oils, or where the electrical allowance per position is lower than 18 kW.
