Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 391382 – 900XP, Two Wells Electric Fryer 23 liter

Seventy‑five kilograms per hour is the quoted performance for the 391382, delivered from two electric wells each working between 21 and 23 litres of oil. That level of throughput fits a galley where deep frying is a production process in its own right rather than a once‑per‑day task.

At 36 kW connected load on a 400 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz supply, this 900XP fryer is an electrical and thermal anchor point in the cook line. The supply has to be planned for on the main distribution board from the start; treating it as an afterthought risks overloading a sub‑board and underestimating the heat it will add to the galley if extraction and HVAC are marginal. For a refit, the existing 400 V three‑phase capacity needs to be checked against that figure instead of assuming equivalence with a smaller legacy unit.

Each usable well measures 340 mm in width, 575 mm in height and 400 mm in depth. Those dimensions translate into a generous fry area without pushing oil depth beyond the specified band. The capacity is declared as 21 litres minimum and 23 litres maximum per well, a range that protects the heating elements from exposure and leaves room for oil expansion and foaming. Operating practice and crew training have to respect that bracket; it is not a suggestion, it is part of the safety envelope.

The thermostat range runs from 105 °C to 185 °C. Within that span, a chef can blanch product at the lower end, hold batches in the middle of the range and finish at higher temperatures, all without leaving the fryer’s control band. The performance figure is described as “inspired by ASTM F1361, ensuring max productivity,” which means the 75 kg/hr output is not an arbitrary claim but linked to a defined test procedure for fryers.

Net weight is 115 kg, with a shipping weight of 120 kg. Packed dimensions of 1080 mm in height, 1020 mm in width and 860 mm in depth give a shipping volume of 0.95 m³. On a vessel this matters at three points: checking deck loading where the fryer will sit, confirming that crate and later the bare unit can move through doorways and lifts, and agreeing how it will be fixed down on its base or plinth once in position.

Build and control

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

IPX5 protection is practical in a galley where cleaning is done with spray rather than only with cloths, as it allows washdown of the exterior within the limits of the rating. The Scotch‑Brite finish on the exterior panels helps the fryer keep a presentable surface under daily cleaning, and flush‑fitting side edges let it sit tight to adjacent 900XP modules without soil‑traps between frames. The overheat cut‑out backs up the thermostat and oil‑level discipline; if something goes wrong, it removes power from the elements before temperatures climb into the danger zone.

This unit is the right choice where a 36 kW twin‑well fryer is a planned part of the main line on a 400 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz system and where 75 kg/hr of frying capacity is used in service. It is the wrong choice in a pantry or small crew galley with limited electrical headroom or sporadic frying, where a smaller, lower‑load fryer would meet demand without tying up this level of power and deck space.
