Guide on how to interpret or decode a Broaster E-Series Pressure Fryer Serial Number
A Serial Number on a Broaster piece of Equipment is a very powerful and useful tool. With this number you can tell how it was originally shipped from the factory - like if it's gas or electric, the controller type and all other important info. But, how do you read it? Below is a handy guide to decoding the serial number.
First, what does a serial number look like?
Examples of Broaster E-Series Serial Numbers:
-
- EG4B42012Y
- EG4F32155Y
- EG8H22005W
If the unit is an E-Series Pressure Fryer it will start with an EG or EE instead of a T or an S as all E-Series units have SmartTouch Controllers.
The second letter identifies if it's gas or electric:
E = Electric
G = Gas
Example: EG4F32155Y is a gas unit
Next is a number which will identify the Model Number of the unit:
4 = E-Series 24
8 = E-Series 18
Example: EG4F32155Y would be an E-Series 24
Next is a letter that corresponds with the Month the unit was manufactured:
A = January |
D = April |
G = July |
J = October |
B = February |
E = May |
H = August |
K = November |
C = March |
F = June |
I = September |
L = December |
Example: EG4F32155Y would be June
The next 2 numbers are the year of manufacture, in reverse order:
34 = 2024
32 = 2023
Example: EG4F32155Y would be from 2022
The next 3 digits is the unique number assigned to the unit
Example: EG4F32155Y would be number 155
The last and final number corresponds to the electrical configuration of the unit:
A = |
120V /1PH |
H = |
120V/208V / 3PH |
S = |
200V / 3PH |
B = |
208V / 1PH |
J = |
120V/240V / 3PH |
T = |
220V / 1PH |
C = |
240V / 1PH |
K = |
220V/380V / 3PH |
U = |
240V/480V / 3PH |
D = |
208V / 3PH |
M = |
230V/400V / 3PH |
W = |
120V / 1PH / LP |
E = |
240V / 3PH |
N = |
240V/415V / 3PH |
X = |
220V / 1PH / LP |
F = |
120V/208V / 1PH |
P = |
220V/240V / 1PH |
Y = |
120V / 1PH / NAT |
G = |
120V/240V / 1PH |
R = |
480V / 3PH |
Z = |
220V / 1PH / NAT |
Example: EG4F32155Y would be 120V / 1PH / NAT
