Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3T Triple Vat Electric Fryer with Built-In Filtration - Split Right Vat, 208V 3-Phase
Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3T Triple Vat Electric Fryer with Split Vat and Built-In Filtration
The Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3T is a three-vat electric fryer battery with built-in oil filtration. The left and middle vats are full 50 lb vats, and the right vat is split into two 25 lb halves, giving you four separate oil zones for 150 lb of total capacity. Each 50 lb vat runs on 17 kW and each split half on 8.5 kW, all managed by fully programmable electronic controls.
It's built for high-volume quick-service restaurants, chicken concepts, and busy full-service kitchens that need to run fries, proteins, and specialty or allergen-sensitive items side by side without sharing oil.

Split Vat for Separate Oil
The right-hand vat is divided into two 25 lb halves with independent 8.5 kW heating. Use them for smaller batches, specialty items, or products you want to keep out of your main fry oil, such as fish, gluten-free items, or allergen-sensitive menu items.
Built-In Filtration
The built-in filtration system with pump lets your crew filter oil right at the fryer. Oil drains into the filter pan underneath, passes through filter paper, and pumps back into the vat, with no buckets, no lifting hot oil, and no separate portable filter to store. Filtering regularly removes crumbs and carbon that break oil down, which helps oil last longer.
The AEFF-50-3T uses Atosa FP-1728-5 filter paper (100 sheets per box).
