Commercial Deep Fryer Basket is used for holding food in commercial deep fryers with welded wire mesh baskets that drain oil quickly and stand up to constant heating and handling. ANSI 2 food equipment is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ANSI 2 food equipment Means for Commercial Deep Fryer Basket
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ANSI 2 food equipment. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
