Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3TB Triple Vat Electric Fryer with Auto Lift and Built-In Filtration - Split Right Vat, 208V 3-Phase
Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3TB Triple Vat Electric Fryer with Auto Lift and Built-In Filtration
The Atosa CookRite AEFF-50-3TB is a three-vat electric fryer battery with an automatic basket lift system and 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. Fully programmable electronic controls raise the baskets automatically when the timer ends, so product comes out on time even when the line gets busy.
It's built for high-volume quick-service restaurants, chicken concepts, and busy full-service kitchens that need to run fries, proteins, and allergen-sensitive or specialty items side by side without cross-contaminating oil.

Auto Basket Lift
When a cook cycle ends, the auto lift system raises the baskets out of the oil automatically. That prevents overcooked or oil-soaked food when cooks are pulled away, keeps results consistent from shift to shift, and frees your crew to work other stations.
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-50-3TB uses Atosa FP-1728-5 filter paper (100 sheets per box).
