Lincat Opus 800 Vortech High Efficiency Gas Fryer, Propane, Model- OG8115/OP/P

Lincat OG8115/OP/P Opus 800 Vortech Propane Gas Fryer with Pumped Filtration – 16 Litre

The Lincat OG8115/OP/P Vortech is a premium high-efficiency propane gas fryer designed for busy commercial kitchens where frying output, energy consumption and cooking oil costs really matter.

Delivering up to 51kg of chips per hour from a compact 400mm wide footprint, the Vortech combines exceptional frying performance with Lincat’s advanced gas heating technology and integral pumped oil filtration.

The result is much more than a conventional commercial fryer. The OG8115/OP/P has achieved an independently BSI-tested energy efficiency of 97%, helping high-volume operators significantly reduce wasted energy compared with conventional gas frying.

Oil costs are targeted too. The integral two-stage pumped filtration system allows the cooking oil to be filtered while hot, removing food debris and contaminants which contribute to oil deterioration. Lincat states that regular filtration can extend cooking oil life by up to 75%, potentially delivering substantial ongoing savings in kitchens using large quantities of frying oil.

Why Choose Vortech Over a Regular Opus Filtration Fryer?

Lincat’s standard Opus filtration fryers already provide the convenience and oil-saving benefits of integral filtration. Vortech goes a significant step further by combining pumped filtration with Lincat’s exceptionally efficient Vortech gas heating system.

For businesses operating their fryers heavily every day, the additional initial investment can therefore be offset by lower ongoing gas and cooking oil costs.

Vortech technology is also proven in major UK hospitality operations. Lincat’s published case study with Marston’s reported that the pub operator selected Vortech following equipment trials, highlighting its energy efficiency, rapid recovery and reduced heat output into the kitchen. Despite the higher purchase cost, Marston’s estimated a payback period of approximately nine months in its operation through energy and oil savings.

Actual savings and payback will vary according to usage, energy prices, oil costs and operating practices.
