🔹 Condition

Used – Good Working Condition – Fully Tested & Operational

This unit has been professionally inspected and tested to confirm proper operation. The fryer shows considerable cosmetic wear from previous commercial use, including scratches, staining, oxidation, surface residue, worn labels, and corrosion on the removable filter pan, as clearly shown in the photos.

The pressure lid, control panel, temperature control, digital timer, drain system, pressure gauge, and built-in filtration components are present. The equipment is ready for commercial service after proper professional installation, detailed cleaning, and routine maintenance.

Because the original data plate is worn and cannot be read clearly, the model and electrical configuration are based on the supplied equipment information:

Model: FKM-F

Electrical Configuration: 208V / 3 Phase

🔹 Description

The BKI FKM-F is a heavy-duty commercial electric pressure fryer engineered for high-volume fried-chicken and foodservice production. Pressure frying cooks food in a sealed environment, helping reduce cooking time while retaining moisture and producing a crisp exterior.

This floor-model fryer combines a heavy-duty stainless-steel cabinet, manual pressure-lid assembly, electronic temperature control, programmable timing controls, drain system, and an integrated pumped-oil filtration system.

The built-in filtration system allows cooking oil to be filtered and returned to the fry pot, helping remove food particles, maintain more consistent product quality, and extend usable oil life when operated and maintained correctly.

The FKM-F has a published 75 lb. oil capacity, approximately 10.2 gallons, and is intended for demanding restaurants, supermarkets, delis, convenience stores, institutional kitchens, chicken concepts, and other high-production foodservice operations. (BKI Commercial Cooking Equipment)
