Large capacity open fryers
With auto lift
General Information
The 340 series large capacity
open fryers from Henny Penny are
designed to offer maximum frying
surface area within a reasonable
footprint. These high volume open
fryers feature a larger, shallower fry
well that produces more consistent
frying results with items that float
when cooking.
The quiet, dependable auto lift
mechanism is designed into the
large-capacity 340 series open fryer
without adding one square inch to
the footprint. This feature promotes
perfect results without constant
monitoring and can significantly
increase productivity in lightly staffed
operations.
Henny Penny’s unique highefficiency heat-exchange design
Auto lift open fryer, model OEA-342.
produces extremely fast temperature
recovery—typically in seconds—
MODEL OEA-342 2-well electric
OGA-342 2-well gas
without requiring excess oil to retain
heat. Fast recovery speeds up
production, saves energy, and
preserves frying oil quality by reducing
temperature fluctuations.
Built-in filtration system filters hot
frying oil in under 4 minutes, with no
separate pumps or pans required. Hot
filtered oil returns directly to each fry
well. Quick, easy and frequent filtering
extends shortening life and can result
in significant savings in time and
direct shortening costs.
The OEA/OGA-342 auto lift open
fryer features two fry wells with two
lifters each for half or full-basket
loads. Henny Penny’s heavy-duty
stainless steel rectangular fry pot
promotes fast, even cooking and
comes with a 7-year warranty—the
best in the business.
