Description
A single 45-50 lb. high efficiency fryer with its own filter and a programmable computer, for kitchens that fry all day and filter every night.
The RHEF-45-1-CM packs a 45-50 lb. stainless steel tank, three 33,000 BTU in-shot burners and a built-in filter into a 15.5" wide cabinet. Royal rates it at 63% energy efficiency and a production capacity of 71 lbs. per hour, and it is ENERGY STAR listed. The 8-product computer stores cook times and temperatures, so every shift fries the same way. It suits restaurants, chicken and fish shops and bars that want filtration without a separate filter cart.

Measure the line under the hood and the 30" aisle in front of the fryer: the filter pan slides out the front, so that space must stay clear.
Built-in filtration
An 8 gpm filter pump returns oil through the wash-down hose; Royal says a normal filter cycle takes about 5 minutes. Royal Plus and Ultra-Plus versions return oil through the bottom of the tank.
High efficiency burners
Three in-shot burners at 33,000 BTU/hr each (3 × 33,000 = 99,000 BTU/hr) heat the oil through Royal's heat exchanger, with 63% efficiency and "zero" recovery time.
8-product computer
The CM computer stores cook times, temperatures and alarms for 8 product buttons, with a melt cycle for solid shortening and a built-in boil-out mode.
Safe drain
A 1 1/4" full port drain valve with an interlock switch shuts the burners off whenever the drain is open.
Mobile, welded cabinet
Stainless steel tank and cabinet on a fully welded frame, standard on casters, with automatic pilot ignition and 100% safety shut-off.
Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP and the filtration type when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.
- A qualified gas installer must connect it with a manual shut-off valve following local codes; no external regulator is needed. On casters, Royal calls for a quick-disconnect flexible connector and a restraining device.
- Plug the filter into a grounded 115V 3-prong receptacle; boil out the new tank before the first fill.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
How much oil does it hold?
The stainless steel tank holds 45-50 lbs. of oil or shortening, and the cooking area is 13 1/2" x 14 3/8".
Does it need electricity as well as gas?
Yes. Royal lists 115V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz at 7 A plus 1.5 A per tank, which is 8.5 A for this single-tank unit. It plugs into a grounded 3-prong outlet with a 6' cord.
Does it need a gas regulator?
No external pressure regulator is required. Connect it to a 3/4" NPT gas line at the rear with a manual shut-off valve; manifold pressure is 4" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane.
What is the difference between the filtration options?
Standard filtration returns the filtered oil through the wash-down hose. Royal Plus returns it through the bottom of the tank, and Royal Ultra-Plus returns it through the bottom of the tank or the wash hose. Pick one when you order.
What does the CM control do?
It is an 8-product computer: each button stores its own cook time, temperature and alarms. It also has a melt mode for solid shortening and a 30-minute boil-out mode for cleaning.
How much clearance does it need?
6" at the rear and sides from combustible walls, 0" from non-combustible walls, plus 30" of aisle in front to remove the filter pan.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal covers RHEF fryers and their filter systems for 2 years parts and labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture). The stainless steel fry tank has a 10-year prorated warranty and the welded frame a lifetime warranty. Labor is covered when an authorized Royal service agency does the work.
How do I clean it?
Filter the oil at the end of each day and wash the baskets, crumb screen and filter pan. Once a week, drain the tank and run a boil-out with a non-chlorine commercial boil-out product.
