BINDING/JAMMING PROBLEMS

Noisy, jerky or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their bushings. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate® or similar lightweight white grease to the rod and bushings to correct the problem.

With the modular basket lift, another possible cause of binding is improper positioning of the motor, which prevents the gear from correctly engaging the teeth in the rod. To correct the problem, loosen the screws that hold the motor in place and move it forward or backward until the rod has just enough slack to be rotated slightly.

MOTOR AND GEAR PROBLEMS

With the modular basket lift, the most likely problem to be encountered in this category is erratic motion of the lift due to a worn drive gear. Failure to keep the lift rod and bushings properly lubricated will cause unnecessary wear of the gear. The problem is corrected by replacing the worn gear.

If the lift cycles correctly but fails to remain in the up position (i.e., goes up, but then slowly settles back down into the frypot), the problem is a failed motor brake. A failed motor brake cannot be repaired and requires replacement of the motor itself.

If power is reaching the motor but the motor fails to run, the motor is burned out and must be replaced.

ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS

Within this category are problems associated with the relays, microswitches, capacitors, resistors, interface board, wiring, and controls. The most common problem in this category is a lift that continuously travels up and down. This is usually caused by a microswitch that is out of adjustment. Troubleshooting the electronics of a modular basket lift is simply a process of verifying current flow through the individual components up to and including the motor. Using a multimeter set to the 250 VAC range, check the connections on both sides of the component for the presence of the applied line voltage. The schematic below and the wiring diagram on page 1-16 can identify the components and wiring connection points.

The RE80 is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital control panel, allowing operators to adjust frying temperatures and times with precision. This technology contributes to better food quality and consistency by enabling users to program specific frying cycles for different menu items. The panel also includes built-in diagnostics that provide real-time feedback on machine performance, alerting operators to potential issues before they become problems.

The Frymaster RE80’s design prioritizes safety and ease of use. It incorporates safety features such as an automatic shut-off system and a cool-to-the-touch exterior to prevent burns during operation. The unit is ergonomically designed to facilitate easy loading and unloading of baskets, making it more user-friendly for busy kitchen staff.

In terms of capacity, the RE80 is robust, allowing for a high volume of food to be fried simultaneously. This feature is crucial for establishments that experience large customer volumes, ensuring that service remains swift and efficient even during peak hours.

Furthermore, the Frymaster RE80 is built with durability in mind. Constructed from high-quality materials, it can withstand the everyday rigors of a commercial kitchen. The unit’s components are designed for easy maintenance, with quick access to filters and oil drains that simplify routine cleaning tasks.

Environmental considerations also play a role in the Frymaster RE80’s design. The machine operates with energy-efficient technologies that reduce its overall carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable kitchen operation.

In conclusion, the Frymaster RE80 represents a blend of technology, safety, and efficiency in commercial frying equipment. With its oil management system, digital controls, capacity for high-volume frying, and durable design, it's an ideal choice for foodservice operators aiming to enhance their frying operations while maintaining food quality and operational efficiency.
