Why Choose Our Fryer Heating Elements?
Fast Recovery
Optimized watt density keeps surface temperatures uniform, reducing scorching and extending oil life.
Clean Operation
Serpentine geometry creates a deep cold zone so crumbs settle away from the hot face.
Durability
304/316 stainless or Incoloy sheaths resist corrosion, sugar/carb build‑up, and caustic cleaning.
Serviceability
Hinged or lift‑out designs, quick‑disconnect leads, and replaceable high‑limit kits.
Quality Control
100% dielectric, insulation resistance, and leak testing before shipment.
Global Compliance
CE, UL components, RoHS. Custom labeling and documentation per region.

What is a deep fryer heating element?
A deep fryer heating element is a resistive immersion heater that sits in the oil to quickly reach and hold 150–190 °C (300–375 °F). Built as nichrome wire inside a stainless/Incoloy sheath packed with MgO, bent into U/Ω loops with terminals. Typical tabletop power 2–6 kW. Has thermostat and high-limit cutoff. Maintenance: keep sheath clean, filter oil, and never dry-fire.
What is an air fryer heating element?
An air fryer heating element is a resistive heater mounted above the cooking chamber, paired with a high-speed fan. It’s usually an exposed nichrome coil (sometimes sheathed). Power ~1.2–1.8 kW; it heats air to ~80–200 °C (175–400 °F). Cooking relies on forced-air convection plus some radiant heat. Controls include a thermostat and high-limit cutoff. Maintenance: keep the top assembly degreased and vents clear; don’t wet electrical parts.
How to Choose the Right Element
Match Power to Vat Size & Throughput – Larger vats and busy menus need higher kW.
Consider Menu & Oil Care – Battered/breaded foods benefit from low watt density.
Pick the Right Geometry – Serpentine banks for open‑pot; helical/flat for compact units.
Voltage/Phase Availability – Align with site power to reduce wiring cost.
Maintenance Plan – Choose hinged or lift‑out designs for daily cleaning; add filters.
Quick Selector:
Countertop 8–15L: 2–6 kW @ 120/208–240V
Open‑pot 20–25L: 12–18 kW @ 208–240V, 1‑/3‑phase
High‑volume 25–30+L: 18–21 kW @ 208–480V, 3‑phase
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Installation:
Securely attach the flange to the fryer tank.
Ensure the heating element is fully submerged to prevent burnout.
Cleaning:
Use non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the stainless steel finish.
Descaling every 500 operating hours is recommended.
Safety Check:
Inspect cables monthly for wear.
Test auto-shutoff functionality quarterly.
Here are 5 original FAQs tailored to ElekHeat’s deep fryer heaters
A: Installation is straightforward—our heaters feature universal clamps and anti-slip mounting brackets compatible with fryer tanks up to 24” wide. No specialized tools are needed, and the process typically takes under 15 minutes.
A: Absolutely. Our 304 stainless steel heating tubes resist buildup from thick oils or rendered fats. For optimal performance, pair the EK-300 or EK-600 models (3kW–6kW) with heavier oils, as their higher wattage prevents temperature drops during frying.
A: Yes! The IP65-rated waterproof casing protects against moisture, steam, and oil splatter. This makes them ideal for outdoor food trucks, humid kitchens, or environments where frequent equipment washing is required.
A: Yes. Precise ±1°F accuracy prevents oil from overheating, which extends fryer oil lifespan by maintaining consistent temperatures. This reduces frequency of oil changes and lowers long-term operating costs.
A: The EK-600 requires a 380V power supply, standard in industrial facilities. For facilities with lower voltage systems (e.g., 220V), we offer custom configurations—contact our team at sale@elekheat.com for tailored solutions.
