Standing Fryer · Founder Batch · Kitcho Flagship
The Big One.
Finally, a fryer that keeps up.
Floor-standing · Dual-cylinder high capacity · Deep-cooling oil filtration system — Made for shops that fry 80–200kg a day.
Only 20 units in the first batch for founding members: on-site testing eligibility, founder pricing, lifetime tank warranty.
✓ Application-based · No deposit required ✓ Full refund if not selected
✓ Limited to 20 units, standard price resumes after mass production
The Industry Reality · The Three Deadlocks of High-Capacity Stores
If the daily frying volume exceeds 80kg, the countertop machine becomes the bottleneck.
And for big-name landing machines, the quote takes about 3 weeks.
3~5 weeks
Traditional big brands’ inquiry cycle · You still don’t know the price
£4,500+
Typical quote for same-level floor furnace · Installation extra

The Flagship, In Four Numbers
Four flagship metrics—each one aimed at high-performing stores
Dual-cylinder, dual-line concurrency · About 40% higher than mainstream ground machines · One machine handles Friday night peak
1.5kg frozen load into the fryer · Oil temperature back to 180°C · Second basket not at constant temperature
Deep cooling area, built-in gravity oil filter · Save £1,200 on fuel per year (actual measurements see specifications)
Seamless Stretch Stainless Steel Trough · First 20 Units Come with Upgraded Lifetime Pan Guarantee
Core Engineering · The Economics of Cold Regions
Integrated stretch groove body, cryogenic zone.
Why does oil often use 40% in math?
Valentine took 65 years to prove it, and we’re doing it again with modern techniques: the tank is made from a single stretched stainless steel sheet—no welds, no hidden corners for residue; a deeper cold zone is left under the heating tube so debris sinks and cools down, no longer carbonizing and contaminating the whole tank of oil.
One-piece stretched pan body (Single-Sheet Pressed Pan): No welds = no leak paths, no cleaning dead spots = shift cleaning is 5 minutes faster
Deep Cold Zone: Sediments sink into the low-temperature area and stop carbonizing — the oil’s lifespan is determined by this, 40% of the service life
Built-in gravity oil filtration: finish filtering oil back into the tank in 10 minutes after closing —— standard filter paper, no specific consumables required
The Flagship, In Four Numbers
What you want isn’t ‘pay first and wait in line’—it’s to see the real device, check the actual test data, and then decide. The first batch was designed based on this logic:
- On-site testing qualification: Before mass production, your store can book a Dartford test day—1.5kg frozen load, stopwatch in your hands.
- Founder Price: First batch locked price, about 15% lower than the mass production standard price (confirmation required only after approval)
- Lifetime pan body warranty: The first 20 units have an exclusive Lifetime Pan Guarantee (will be adjusted to 10 years after mass production)
- Priority installation: first batch production schedule, on-site installation and debugging get priority
- Your store is entering the case library: test data from founding users will be added to the Why Kitcho case page (optional attribution)
Apply for a founding batch seat
Within 48 hours after filling it out, an engineer will call back to confirm the working conditions and power requirements — if they don’t match, we’ll be straightforward and let you know, so we won’t waste your time.
