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

The Pitco SSH55R-2FD gas fryer includes a 1 1⁄4-inch full-port drain valve that streamlines oil disposal, minimizing downtime between batches. This floor model fryer runs on natural gas and is part of the Solstice Supreme™ series, offering two full-size frypots, each with a 40 to 50 pound oil capacity, for a total of 100 pounds. The stainless steel tank, front, and sides provide durability for high-volume kitchens, while the self-cleaning burner reduces carbon buildup to help maintain performance. A matchless ignition system automatically lights the pilot when power is turned on, removing the need for an open flame. The solid-state controls regulate temperature, and the boil-out and melt cycle supports oil preparation and maintenance. A tube rack collects crumbs and directs food debris into a cool zone to help extend oil life, while downdraft protection ensures steady burner function.

The under-fryer filtration drawer system in the Pitco SSH55R-2FD fryer helps manage oil circulation and removal, improving efficiency during continuous frying. A rear oil return system removes debris from the frypot bottom before oil is recirculated, and the 8-gpm filter pump accelerates the filtration process. Separate manual gas shutoffs are positioned at the front for servicing access, while an integrated flue deflector helps manage heat dispersion. The fryer stands on 10-inch adjustable legs for stability and clearance during cleaning. The filter pan is made of stainless steel and includes rear wheels for maneuverability, while a removable basket hanger allows for tool-free cleaning. Each frypot has a 14-inch by 14-inch frying area with a cook depth of 3 1⁄4 to 5 inches.
