If you need a floor model gas fryer that is efficient and has a larger fry area and increased heat output for faster start-up and recovery times, the Frialator SSH60WR Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Fryer is a reliable option. Pitco, a company with over a century of experience in specialized deep fryers, manufactures this fryer. It features a 14" by 18" fry tank with reduced oil volume, capable of holding 50-60 lbs of oil.
The fry tank is made from durable peened stainless steel, making it easy to clean. It also has an extensive cool zone in its tube rack to trap crumbs and debris, preventing them from carbonizing and affecting the quality of the frying oil. This allows the oil to last longer without needing to be changed.
The fryer is equipped with simple-to-use solid-state controls that provide temperature control over the frying oil. It includes a boil out mode and melt cycle for added convenience. For safety, the fryer has a high-temperature safety switch that automatically stops the unit from reaching dangerous temperatures. Advanced control modules, such as the digital controller and Intellifry I12 Computer, are available as optional upgrades. These controllers offer automated timers and the ability to control an optional basket lift.
The burners of this fryer efficiently produce 125,000 BTU/hr of heat using advanced solstice burner technology. These burners have patented self-cleaning mechanisms and downdraft protection. Unlike blowers or ceramics, which can wear or break down, these burners are more reliable due to their mechanical parts.
The fryer is constructed with stainless steel on its door, sides, and front, making it easy to maintain and clean. The tank itself is made from peened stainless steel for durability and features an extensive cool zone beneath the tube rack to collect crumbs and debris, preventing them from affecting the taste of the oil.
The fryer is equipped with a 1-¼" full port drain valve for quick oil drainage. It also includes a drain extension and a drain line clean out rod to clear any clogs.
In addition to the standard features, the fryer comes with accessories such as a drain extension, integrated flue deflector, drain line clean out rod, and fryer cleaner sample packet. It also includes a high-temperature safety limit switch, heavy-duty bottom door hinge, and removable basket hanger that requires no tools. The fryer has a high-efficiency design
