Automatic Clamshell Contact Grill, 9 kW, 180 portions/hr

The FKI GL 9001 is an automatic clamshell contact grill for high-volume burger, steak and protein cookery, drawing 9 kW at 3×400 V and delivering up to 180 patties per hour on its 385 × 430 mm frying surface. Made in Denmark from stainless steel, it suits fast-casual restaurants, hotel kitchens, catering operations and QSR environments where consistent throughput and cook repeatability are non-negotiable.

A motorised upper pan opens and closes automatically at the start and end of each cook cycle, removing operator guesswork and reducing handling time. The electronic control panel offers 6 programmable cooking programs with independent temperature control for upper and lower pans, plus an Eco power-saving function to cut energy use during quiet periods. Grease is captured in an external side-mounted drawer for straightforward service-line cleaning, and optional Teflon pan foil further simplifies maintenance.
