since they are normally under protective guards on each side of the vessel. The side elements
are identical, and have the same part number for both the left and right side.
The elements in both types are normally wired for three-phase power, but may be wired
single-phase if permitted by local electrical code and the wire size is adequate.
Unlike the Frymaster electric elements, most Dean elements do not tilt, or lift out of the
frypot. They are mounted through the front wall of the vessel. The notable exception are the
Ultimate Electric (UE) models which have Frymaster-type tilting elements.
Ultimate Electric Models
Ultimate Electric fryers use a tilt-element
system similar to Frymaster's electric fryers.
The Dean 18UE fryer is a new style fryer
manufactured by Dean Industries. Originally
built for KFC, it is now being sold to other
restaurants. It is a high-volume fryer with a
built-in filtration system. The frypot design
differs from all other Dean designs.
Production began in October 1998, with
several prototypes in service in various parts
of the world. It incorporates a combination
of Dean and Frymaster technology, including
Frymaster components such as elements and
controllers.
Dean has built other tilt element fryers based
on the 18UE prototype. KFC and Taco Bell
use the 18E and 14E fryers. The 18E is
essentially a 18UE fryer with a KFC-1
Computer and KFC-style drain system.
The 14E has a 14" x 14" cooking area, while the 18E has an 18" x 18" cooking area. A third
18UE variant is the Frymaster EH1721 fryer that shares many common components with the
original 18UE.
