Electrolux Professional Deep Fat Fryer 391383 – 900XP, Two Wells Electric Fryer 23 liter

Two wells at 21–23 lt each and a quoted performance of 75 kg/hr set the 391383 up for a high-throughput fry station in a compact footprint. Installed power is 36 kW on a 440 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz supply, so the unit is aligned with typical shipboard electrical systems rather than a shore-only kitchen spec.

On board, that 36 kW draw and 75 kg/hr capacity belong in the electrical and HVAC planning as much as the galley layout. A 440 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz connection fits directly into marine switchboards that already serve other 900XP or thermaline appliances, reducing the need for special feeds. The IPX5 rating means the fryer can live in a wet-cleaned galley where spray guns are used at the end of service, which is the norm on passenger and offshore vessels. At 115 kg net weight and 0.95 m³ shipping volume, the unit is substantial enough to be treated as a fixed appliance that will be bolted or welded down to meet both stability and sanitation rules.

Each well is dimensioned at 340 mm width, 575 mm height and 400 mm depth, giving a deep oil column that matches the 21 lt minimum and 23 lt maximum fill. That volume allows the fryer to absorb frozen loads without excessive temperature drop, which is what underpins the 75 kg/hr performance figure inspired by ASTM F1361. The thermostat range from 105 °C to 185 °C covers low-temperature work such as blanching or holding, through to standard deep-frying temperatures, so one well can be run cooler while the other takes the main production duty if the menu demands it.

The 900XP series format means this fryer can be lined up flush with adjacent modules. Flush-fitting side edges create a continuous surface without soil traps between units, which matters under USPH-style inspection regimes where any open seam between appliances becomes a cleaning risk. Shipping dimensions of 1020 mm width, 1080 mm height and 860 mm depth should be checked against doorways, hatches and lifts on the route from the loading point to the galley; moving a 120 kg gross-weight appliance through a completed accommodation block is not trivial if the clearances are tight.

Build and control

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

The overheat cut-out is the key protection against oil breakdown and fire in the event of mis-set controls or an empty well being energised, and should be checked as part of commissioning. The Scotch-Brite finished exterior panels give a consistent surface that hides minor scratching while still being smooth enough for daily cleaning, which is important where pot-washing is done with abrasive pads.

This fryer is the right choice where a galley needs sustained high output from a dedicated fry line on a 440 V/3 ph/50–60 Hz supply, with the flexibility of two independently loaded wells. It is less suitable for a small pantry or snack station that only fries occasionally; in those spaces a single-well unit or a smaller series can save both power and deck area.
