Measure every doorway and turn on the delivery path; the narrowest side of the fryer is its 17.38" width, and the crate is 25" on its narrowest side. The voltage is set at the factory, so confirm your building's voltage and phase with us before ordering.
Auto lift
Two lifters per well raise the baskets when the timer ends, one half basket at a time or both together, so food comes out on time even when the crew is busy. The lift motor sits inside the cabinet, so the footprint stays the same.
Computron 8000 control
Each well has its own Computron 8000 with 10 programmable cook cycles, melt and idle modes, load compensation and filter tracking on a 16-character display.
Built-in filtration
The fryer filters its oil and returns it to the vat in minutes. Frequent filtering stretches oil life and keeps food quality steady.
Fast recovery
High-efficiency immersed elements recover temperature quickly, and a cold zone under the elements helps extend oil life. The fryer earns the ENERGY STAR mark.

Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
3-phase power with a separate connection for each well. Each well draws 14.4 kW: 39.9 A at 208V; 37.2 A at 220-240V; 37.2 A at 240V; 23 A at 400V; 17.5 A at 440-480V. A qualified electrician installs the cord and plug on site.
What does the .03 in the model number mean?
It is a Henny Penny configuration code on the OEA 321. Henny Penny does not publish what each code covers, so call us to confirm the voltage and options before you order.
Will it fit through my door?
The fryer is 17.38" wide, 37.38" deep and 54.63" high; the crate is 40" x 25" x 65". Measure doorways and turns on the delivery path first, and leave 30" in front to pull out the filter pan.
Which fry baskets come with it?
Henny Penny ships 1 full basket or 2 half baskets per well, chosen at order, plus a basket support for each vat. Tell us which baskets you want when you order.
How does the auto lift work?
When a cook cycle ends, the lifters raise the baskets out of the oil automatically. Each well has two lifters, so two half baskets can run on separate timers or together.
What does the warranty cover?
Henny Penny's limited warranty covers parts for 2 years and labor for 1 year from installation, and the fry pot for up to 7 years from manufacture: years 1-3 with parts, labor and freight covered, years 4-7 as a replacement pot or credit with freight and labor paid by the owner. Register the fryer on the Henny Penny website within 10 days of installation, or the warranty is not honored.
