Commercial Gas Range & Twin Deep Fryer Fabrication — Nairobi Hospitality Client

A custom stainless steel four-burner gas range integrated with twin deep fryers, fabricated for a hospitality client in Nairobi.

Introduction

EMOST Techniques Ltd fabricated a custom stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment unit — a four-burner gas cooking range integrated with twin deep fryers — for a hospitality client in Nairobi. The piece was built as a single combined cooking station, engineered for the demands of a working restaurant or hotel kitchen. It is representative of the commercial kitchen equipment Kenya hospitality operators need when replacing or upgrading line cooking equipment with a durable, food-safe, all-stainless setup.

The challenge

Hospitality kitchens need cooking equipment that holds up to daily commercial use, meets basic food-safety and hygiene expectations, and fits the kitchen's existing layout and gas supply. A standard imported unit does not always match the exact footprint, burner count or fryer configuration a specific kitchen needs. This client needed a range and fryer combination built to their kitchen's requirements — four gas burners paired with two deep fryers — rather than a fixed off-the-shelf configuration, with the construction standard (all stainless steel, food-grade work surfaces) that commercial kitchen operations require.

The Approach

How the unit was built

STEP / 01
Consultation & scope

Requirements were established with the client: burner count, fryer count, and the combined range-and-fryer configuration.

STEP / 02
Design

The unit was laid out as one integrated piece: cooking range on one side, twin fryer stations on the other, sharing a common stainless steel structure.

STEP / 03
Fabrication

Stainless steel sheet was cut and formed for work surfaces, rear splash guard, lower storage/support sections and legs, then welded into a unified base structure.

STEP / 04
Component fitting

Four gas burners with heavy-duty grates and front-mounted knobs on the range side; two fryer stations with hinged, handled covers on the fryer side.

STEP / 05
Finishing

Surfaces finished to a smooth, brushed stainless steel standard suited to food-service environments.

STEP / 06
Delivery & handover

The completed unit was delivered to the client's Nairobi kitchen.

The Outcome

What was delivered

EMOST Techniques Ltd delivered a single, integrated stainless steel cooking station combining a 4-burner gas range and a twin deep fryer unit for the client's Nairobi kitchen. The unit was built entirely in stainless steel — work surfaces, rear guard, lower support structure and legs — with gas burners, control knobs and hinged fryer covers fitted as one combined piece rather than separate units.

Before hiring a fabricator in Kenya

  • Registration. Confirm the fabricator is EBK-registered, particularly for equipment involving gas lines and structural welding.
  • Material specification. Ask which stainless steel grade will be used for work surfaces versus structural components — they don't always need the same grade.
  • On-site survey. A fabricator should assess your kitchen's actual space, gas supply and layout before finalising a design, rather than quoting from a generic spec sheet.
  • Gas safety sign-off. For gas-burner equipment, confirm how burner fitting and gas connections are checked before handover.
  • Warranty and service terms. Ask what's covered if a burner, control knob or weld joint needs attention after installation.
FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Commercial kitchens in Kenya typically run stainless steel cooking ranges, deep fryers, prep tables, cold rooms, and ventilation/HVAC systems. Many operators combine cooking functions — such as a gas range and fryer station — into a single fabricated unit to save space and simplify installation. This project is an example of that combined approach.
Look for stainless steel construction, the burner count your kitchen's volume actually requires, heavy-duty burner grates, and accessible front-mounted controls. Confirm the range is sized and configured for your kitchen's layout and gas supply rather than buying a generic import.
A commercial kitchen typically needs a stainless steel fryer with a hinged, handled cover for safety and heat retention, sized to the kitchen's service volume. Pairing fryers with the cooking range in one fabricated unit, as in this project, keeps the frying station integrated with the rest of the line.
EMOST Techniques Ltd, an EBK-registered fabrication and engineering company based in Ruiru, Kiambu County, fabricates stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment — including gas ranges and fryer units — for hospitality clients in Nairobi and nationwide.
Confirm EBK registration, ask what stainless steel grade will be used, and check whether the fabricator will survey your kitchen on-site before designing the equipment. See the checklist above for the full list of checks.

This project shows how EMOST Techniques Ltd approaches the commercial kitchen equipment Kenya hospitality operators rely on: a stainless steel gas range and twin deep fryer unit built as one integrated station, sized to the client's actual burner and fryer requirements.
