Pitco 65C+S Gas Fryer - (1) 80 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Pitco 65C+S fryer has an 80-pound oil capacity and produces as much as 79 3⁄10 pounds of fries in an hour. This tube-type fryer is built with a deep cold zone that contains at least 20 percent of its oil. To prevent burning, the cold zone captures sediment from breading and other food particles so that it does not transfer a burnt taste to the oil. Heat baffles are fitted to the fryer's heat exchanger tubes to promote efficiency and quick recovery. Thermostatic controls maintain set temperatures between 200 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

This Pitco 65C+S economy fryer has a rugged, welded tank with a smooth, peened finished, so it resists damage and can be cleaned up quickly. To supply durability, the cabinet's front and door are made of stainless steel, while its sides and back are made of galvanized steel. The fry tank is also made of stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and facilitating quick cleanout. Featuring a cleanout rod to help remove stubborn sediment, the front-located 1 1⁄4-inch oil drain helps staff when emptying the fry tank. An included drain extension can direct draining oil into a filter system or container.

This Pitco 65C+S gas fryer is built with a high-limit switch that cuts off the fryer's heat if unsafe temperatures are detected, reducing the risk of fire and heat damage. Should the fryer's pilot light go out, a safety valve will shut off gas flow to the main burners to prevent harmful gas buildup in the kitchen. An included flue deflector—mounted on the rear—helps guide heat towards the hood range to maintain comfortable ambient temperatures in the kitchen.
