Austheat

Austheat is the Australian gas fryer and cooktop brand for cafés, takeaway shops and small commercial kitchens — single-tank gas fryers in 450 mm and 600 mm widths across 14.5, 16.6 and 21.5 kW burner outputs, dual-tank 450 mm fryers at 14 kW, and matched gas cooktop modules. Sealed-burner stainless construction, fast oil recovery for chip and breaded-protein menus, and the kind of straightforward gas fryer firepower that suits café and takeaway budgets — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

Austheat's range targets the café, takeaway and small-kitchen segment with single- and dual-tank gas fryers at price points well below premium imports. The catalogue covers four fryer footprints: the workhorse Austheat Single Tank Fryer 450mm 14.5kW as the standard café entry, a higher-output 450 mm 16.6 kW variant for faster oil recovery, larger 600 mm single-tank units at 16.6 kW and 21.5 kW for higher-volume QSR and fish-and-chip duty, and the dual-tank 450 mm 14 kW variant for venues that need menu separation (chips on one side, breaded protein on the other) without giving up bench space.

Construction targets daily commercial use without the price tag of premium imports. Tanks are heavy-gauge stainless with deep cold zones that catch crumbs and breading below the heating element, sealed-burner systems prevent oil drips reaching the gas train, and brass-grade gas valves and ignitors are sized for continuous-duty service. Baskets are heavy-duty wire with deep mesh that holds product securely during oil lifts, and basket lift mechanisms are spring-loaded or counterweighted for one-handed operation during peak service.

Where Austheat fits is the operator who needs proper commercial gas fryer firepower at café-budget pricing. The 450 mm single-tank format fits standard café benches without bespoke installation, the higher-kW variants give better oil recovery for venues running frozen chips or breaded chicken that drop oil temperature on basket entry, and the dual-tank format saves the bench space of running two separate single-tank units. Australian gas compliance and AGA certification are built in, and the brand sits at a price point that lets small operators specify a real commercial fryer rather than adapting a domestic unit or a cheap import.

Commercial Kitchen Company stocks the Austheat range with nationwide delivery and access to genuine spare parts — burner heads, ignitors, thermocouples, drain valves, basket hooks and baskets — backed by Australian after-sales support. Whether you're outfitting a single 450 mm fryer for a café upgrade, a 600 mm 21.5 kW for a fish-and-chip shop needing fast recovery on chip baskets, or a dual-tank for a takeaway running separated menus, our team can spec the right Austheat fryer for your menu and shift volumes — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.
