Built on the success of Opus 700, the new 800 series is larger, heavier, more durable and more powerful. Opus 800 products can be configured in multiple ways to meet the needs of the busiest commercial kitchen in both a suite or standalone units. With a stylish new look, Opus 800 is engineered to deliver enhanced performance, energy efficiency and serviceability.

Lincat has developed and integrated three innovative technologies to take gas fryer energy efficiency to a new level.

In summary the combination of these technologies means that the Vortech Gas Fryer attains greater heat at the start of the process and delivers that heat to where it is most needed, thus losing less energy in to the atmosphere and providing greater fuel efficiency, environmental benefits and cost savings.

Firstly the pre-mix burner is made from an advanced metallic alloy mesh and is housed in a sealed combustion chamber. Air is driven in to the combustion chamber by an electric fan and is mixed with the gas in such a way as to ensure optimum combustion efficiency. This technology generates heat in the region of 900°C to 1000°C, which is typically around 25% hotter than a standard fryer.

Secondly the Vortech Gas Fryer has a residual heat recovery system, which means that unlike other fryers it wastes very little heat. Hot combustion gases, which would evaporate in to the atmosphere in normal fryers, are directed around the tank in a unique, multi-pass design. Pins create turbulence to extract the maximum possible heat energy, which is then channelled in to the fryer tank instead of being lost in the atmosphere.

Lastly the Opus 800 Vortech Fryer has an intelligent electronic temperature control system. Standard mechanical thermostats can only react to the temperature of the cooking oil and can take time to reach the required temperature. The Vortech Fryer is much smarter. The intelligent electronic thermostat measures both the temperature and rate of temperature change, rapidly modifying the burner's heat output accordingly. The frying temperature therefore remains stable, which enables better cooking results as well as offering additional energy savings.
