Why this free standing fryer earns its place
The 422 is FriFri's answer to the question: what if you need reliable frying in a compact footprint, but also want the oil-management features that keep running costs down? At just 397.5mm wide, it slides into kitchens where the 622 wouldn't fit, yet it still brings the intelligence of professional frying: mechanical thermostat that locks temperature within ±8°C, pressed stainless steel tank for durability, and hinged elements that make draining and cleaning efficient.
The heart of the 422 is its gravity filtration system—a built-in feature that extends oil life by up to 75% compared to unfiltered frying. That's not marketing copy; that's the difference between changing oil weekly and changing it monthly. When you're running oil costs, that's real money. Optional electric filtration (the xFri filter system) lets you filter with a button press, returning cleaned oil straight to the tank between batches.
The 22kW power on three-phase is modest compared to industrial-scale fryers, but it's designed for what it is: steady frying in restaurants, cafés, and takeaways where the fryer isn't the hero but it has to be reliable. Low-watt-density elements mean heat recovers quickly and oil never scorches—quality that outlives cheaper fryers by years.
