Some entrepeneurs want a frying range that allowes them to work fast. Lots of chips in little time. That certainly applies to Niels Faessen of Happy Frites Welten. “People here only wait about four minutes for their order,” he says.

Happy Frites Welten in Heerlen is known for good chips, tasty snacks and friendly service. People further enjoy a homemade stew, goulash, chicken satay, meatballs and satay sauce, among others.

Niels Faessen opened the business in early 2019. The place does have tables and chairs, but customer mostly come for take out. He works with a Florigo frying range with blue neon lighting, give his business a unique look.

Rapid flow

In addition to the quality of his products, being able to work quickly is very important to Niels. “Before people pay for theur order, the chips or snacks are often already going in the frying pan. They only have to wait four minutes to get their food. It’s a big place, so when we get busy, we can’t have people wait too long.”

Almost no temperature drop

How many chips are served on a busy day? “On Fridays 140 to 150 pounds. At 2:30 p.m. we start pre-cooking and continue that during rush hour. They finish fast in the second frying pan and we can cook off a lot at once. When all the baskets are full, there is almost no temperature drop.”

Active Triple Filtration

Niels’ frying range is equipped with Active Triple Filtration. This advanced automatic filtration system works through a unique 3-stage filtration system. “This makes my oil last longer. And used oil goes through the pipe directly to the barrel, so we don’t have to do anything ourselves.”

Reliable frying range

For Niels, a frying range has to simply function well. “I’ve worked with Florigo before and it’s always been good. It’s a reliable frying range, because in four years nothing has ever broken down.”
