Wells WVAE110FT Twin Turbo Ventless Electric Fryer, Two 55 lb. Vats, Built-In Hood and ANSUL Fire System, 208/240V
Description
A hood and double-vat fryer in one cabinet, so you can fry where a Type 1 hood and ductwork are impractical or too costly.
The Wells Twin Turbo WVAE110FT is a ventless electric fryer with two 55 lb. vats, each powered and controlled on its own, under a built-in recirculating hood. Wells describes it as Certified Type 1 compliant and UL 710B approved, with a 3-stage baffle, HEPA and carbon-charcoal filter system and a self-contained ANSUL R-102 fire suppression system. Each vat has a 10.1" programmable touchscreen, automatic basket lifts and semi-automatic paperless oil filtration. It suits c-stores, coffee shops, concessions and other sites with no hood space.

Two 55 lb. vats
Each vat is powered and controlled on its own. Drop four baskets individually or two double-size baskets.
Built-in ventless hood
Self-contained filtration reduces emissions below the NFPA 96 and UL 710B limits using the EPA 202 test method, so no outside venting is needed.
3-stage filtration
A baffle filter with grease cup, a HEPA filter and a carbon-charcoal filter remove without tools. Airflow sensors watch performance continuously.
Safety interlock
The fryer will not run if filters are missing or clogged, or in a fire. The ANSUL R-102 system meets NFPA 96 Chapter 13.
Touchscreen control
Each vat has a 10.1" touchscreen with programmable recipes, temperatures and cycle times, one-touch recipe repeat and automatic basket lifts.
Oil care built in
Auto oil-life monitoring and semi-automatic paperless oil filtration cut labor and clean oil more efficiently.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Wells asks owners to report shipping damage promptly after delivery.
- Shipping weight is 1,000 lb. Plan a liftgate or forklift, enough people, and check doorways against the 32-1/8" width and 76-3/8" height.
- A licensed electrician hardwires each vat to 208V or 240V, single or three phase, sized for the amps in the spec table.
- The ANSUL fire protection system must be charged and certified by an authorized ANSUL distributor after installation and before first use. Wells makes this the operator's responsibility.
- The manual pull station can be moved to the egress path, or a second station added, by an authorized ANSUL representative.
Questions buyers ask
Does it need a hood or duct?
No outside venting. Wells describes it as a Certified Type 1 compliant, UL 710B approved recirculating hood system. Final approval rests with your local authority.
How much oil and product does it handle?
Two 55 lb. vats, each independently powered and controlled. You can drop four baskets individually or two double-size baskets.
What power does it need?
208V or 240V, single or three phase, hardwired. Each vat draws 56 A at 208V or 48 A at 240V single phase; on three phase each vat draws 48 A per line at 208V or 42 A at 240V.
What has to happen before the first use?
An authorized ANSUL distributor must charge and certify the fire suppression system after installation.
What maintenance do the filters need?
All three filters remove without tools. The interlock stops cooking if a filter is missing or clogged, so keep spare baffle, HEPA and carbon filters on hand.
Which certifications does it carry?
The Wells spec sheet shows cULus Listed (file E146882) and NSF/ANSI 4 marks.
What warranty does it have?
Wells equipment carries a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation, with repairs by a Wells authorized service agency. Ask us about the specific terms for this ventless system.
