Seamac Countertop Cooking Equipment

Seamac is an Istanbul-based brand manufacturing countertop cooking equipment for restaurants, kiosks, cafés and quick-service businesses. Its range includes gas and electric grills, fryers, toasters, waffle and crepe makers, bubble pancake machines, countertop ranges and floor-standing ranges.

Seamac products offer size and energy options aimed at preparing different menus on a single compact cooking line. When choosing, not just the unit's width but also the cooking surface, energy connection, oil capacity and total load under the hood should be evaluated together.

Flat, Ribbed and Half-Ribbed Grill Surfaces

Flat-surface grills are considered for eggs, burger patties, vegetables and products where higher contact area is desired. Ribbed surfaces create grill marks on the product and can help channel fat away. Half-ribbed models offer two different surfaces on the same unit.

Seamac grills are listed in width classes of approximately 30, 50, 70, 100 and 120 cm. A small model can suit a kiosk with a limited menu, while a wider surface allows different products to be prepared in separate zones. Continuously heating a very wide surface at low load can create unnecessary energy consumption.

Cast and sheet-metal surfaces differ in heating and heat-retention behaviour. During cleaning, surface temperature should be brought down to a safe level, and cold water should not be applied in a quantity that would cause thermal shock.

Gas and Electric Fryer Capacities

The Seamac fryer range includes single-tank models of 3, 5 and 8 litres, along with dual-tank options of 3+3, 5+5 and 8+8 litres. A dual tank helps keep oils for different products separate, or allows two baskets to be used independently during busy hours.

The tank's litre value should not be treated as the same as the oil fill level. The manufacturer's minimum and maximum oil marks should be followed. Overloading a basket with frozen product rapidly lowers oil temperature and can increase the risk of overflow.

A gas model needs a suitable LPG or natural gas connection; an electric model needs the required power, fuse and cable infrastructure. LPG and natural gas models should not be converted between each other without authorisation.

Waffle, Crepe and Bubble Pancake Station

Seamac waffle makers feature different plate patterns such as square, flower and small flower. A single unit offers one cooking plate, a double unit offers two independent product areas. The batter weight used in the menu should match the plate volume.

Crepe makers come in single- and double-surface options. A double unit allows two products to be prepared at once, but counter width and electrical load increase. Bubble pancake machines use a different plate geometry with round cells.

Toasters have capacity ratings such as 16 and 20 slices. Actual capacity can vary depending on the size of bread used and product thickness.

Featured Highlights

• Grills come with flat, ribbed and half-ribbed surfaces in different body widths.
• Fryers are offered gas or electric, with single- or dual-tank capacity options.
• The waffle range offers different patterns, and the crepe and bubble pancake range offers single or double cooking areas.
• Countertop and floor-standing ranges have separate model codes for LPG and natural gas.

Energy Planning for a Seamac Cooking Line

The rated power of all units should be added together to calculate the kitchen's simultaneous electricity or gas need. A fryer, grill, toaster and waffle maker operating on the same line together creates a much higher load than a single unit.

Units should be positioned under a suitable hood, in an order that avoids unnecessary staff movement in front of hot oil and surfaces. Placing a fryer too close to a water source or ice machine increases the risk of water splashing into hot oil.

Grease collection drawers, cooking plates and the area around the unit should be checked daily during cleaning. Burner and flame arrangement on gas models, and thermostat and cable condition on electric models, should be included in the maintenance plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose between a Seamac flat and ribbed grill?

A flat surface is aimed at products needing higher contact area, while a ribbed surface is aimed at cooking where grill marks and fat channelling are desired. For mixed menus, a half-ribbed model can offer both surfaces on the same unit.

What is the advantage of a Seamac dual-tank fryer?

A dual tank helps cook different products in separate oils and use two baskets independently. Total energy need and cleaning time can be higher than a single-tank model.

Are Seamac LPG and natural gas models the same?

No. Injectors and gas settings can differ between LPG and natural gas models. The gas type to be used should be specified when ordering, and conversion, if needed, should be carried out by technical personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
