Pitco SSH55R-2FD Gas Fryer - (2) 50 lb Vats, Floor Model, LP

The integrated flue deflector in the Pitco SSH55R-2FD gas fryer helps direct heat and improve kitchen ventilation. Designed for LP gas operation, this floor model fryer is part of the Solstice Supreme™ series and includes two full-size frypots, each holding 40 to 50 pounds of oil, for a total of 100 pounds. The stainless steel tank, front, and sides are built for durability in busy kitchen environments. A self-cleaning burner prevents carbon buildup, and downdraft protection keeps the burner operating effectively. The filter pan is made of stainless steel and includes rear wheels for maneuverability, while a removable basket hanger permits tool-free cleaning. A tube rack collects crumbs and food debris, directing them into a cool zone to help maintain oil quality.

The under-fryer filtration drawer system in the Pitco SSH55R-2FD fryer enhances oil circulation and removal. A rear oil return system helps clear the frypot bottom before oil is recirculated, while the 8-gpm filter pump speeds up the filtration process. The 1 ¼-inch full-port drain valve allows for quick oil disposal, and separate manual gas shutoffs are positioned at the front of the unit for servicing. A matchless ignition system automatically lights the pilot when the power is turned on, removing the need for an open flame. The solid-state controls manage temperature regulation, while the boil-out and melt cycle support oil preparation and maintenance. The fryer stands on 10-inch adjustable legs for stability and easier cleaning access. Each frypot has a 14-inch by 14-inch frying area with a cook depth of 3 1⁄4 to 5 inches.
