The Mercury MEF-L5-DA-2 is a high-performance twin tank electric fryer engineered for demanding commercial environments such as cafes, food trucks, and small restaurants where space is at a premium but throughput remains critical. With a total 10-litre capacity (split across two 5-litre tanks), this unit provides the flexibility to manage high-volume orders of chips, chicken, or fish simultaneously without flavour transfer. Its compact footprint makes it an essential asset for kitchens requiring reliable, heavy-duty frying capabilities within a restricted countertop area.
Built for longevity and safety, the unit is manufactured with a high-grade stainless steel body and features a high-limit thermal safety cut-out to prevent overheating. Operationally, the fryer is highly efficient; it is fitted with two 13A plugs, meaning no hardwiring is required for immediate installation. The dual-element design (2 x 2.8kW) ensures that each tank operates independently, providing a savvy solution for operators looking to reduce energy costs by powering down half the unit during off-peak hours.
Maintenance is streamlined through a practical design that includes removable head units and micro-switches for safe handling during cleaning. The inclusion of stainless steel lids helps maintain oil hygiene and heat retention when the unit is not in active use. Delivered with two durable baskets and backed by a 1-year parts and labour warranty, the MEF-L5-DA-2 represents a secure investment in consistent, commercial-grade performance.
