Detalles del producto
R&M manufactures the donut fryer in three fuel configurations for markets where electricity supply is expensive, unstable or unavailable. The RMT-100B runs on LPG or natural gas, the RMT-100BU adds a micro-computer panel with 2,300 pcs/hour throughput, and the RMT-100A is a gas-and-electric 2-in-1 unit that switches between fuel sources.
Gas or Electric Donut Fryer: The Practical Difference
The choice between a gas and electric donut fryer comes down to three factors — local energy pricing, supply reliability, and how quickly the fryer needs to recover temperature between batches.
- Gas donut fryer — faster heat recovery after each batch drops the oil temperature; typically lower running cost where LPG or natural gas is affordable; requires a gas connection and appropriate ventilation
- Electric donut fryer — more precise thermostatic control; no combustion or flue requirement; better suited to enclosed kitchens and locations with stable, reasonably priced electricity
- Dual fuel (2-in-1) — switches between gas and electric operation, protecting production continuity where either supply can be interrupted

Why the 50 W Power Rating Matters
The gas models draw only 50 watts — enough to run the motor, extruder and control circuit. Heat comes entirely from the gas burner. For operations in regions where electricity is unreliable or where a 6 kW electrical connection would require costly infrastructure work, this makes the gas donut fryer significantly easier and cheaper to install than an electric equivalent.
Where Gas Donut Fryers Make Commercial Sense
- Africa and the Middle East — LPG is widely available and typically cheaper per unit of heat than grid electricity
- South and Southeast Asia — high ambient temperatures and variable grid supply favour gas heating
- Mobile and event catering — LPG cylinders allow operation without mains power
- High-volume shops — faster thermal recovery between batches sustains higher effective throughput
RMT-100BU: Micro-Computer Control at 2,300 pcs/hour
The RMT-100BU is the highest-output double row unit in the gas range. The micro-computer panel provides digital temperature readout, programmable frying time, an auto/manual mode switch and a piece counter — useful where multiple operators share the machine and settings need to be repeatable across shifts.
Preguntas frecuentes
Is a gas donut fryer cheaper to run than electric?
In most markets where LPG or natural gas is readily available, yes — gas typically costs less per unit of delivered heat than grid electricity. The gap is widest in regions with high electricity tariffs. Calculate using your local gas and electricity prices, since the ratio varies significantly by country.
What gas connection does the machine require?
The RMT-100B and RMT-100BU accept LPG (propane/butane cylinder) or piped natural gas. The regulator and connection type are specified at the order stage to match your local standard. Adequate ventilation is required, as with any commercial gas fryer.
Can the dual fuel model switch between gas and electric mid-production?
The RMT-100A is designed so the operator can select the heat source before starting a run. Switching mid-batch is not recommended as the thermal profile differs between the two heating methods.
Is propane (LPG) compatible?
Yes. Both gas models run on propane/LPG or natural gas. Specify which at the order stage so the correct injector and regulator are fitted.
Can these be upgraded to four rows?
Yes. All three gas models can be customised to a four-row configuration for higher output. Contact us with your target throughput and we will confirm the specification and pricing.
