Pitco SE14S-3FD Solstice 3-Fryer Electric Battery with Filter Drawer, 40-50 lb Vats, 208V 3-Ph

The Pitco SE14S-3FD is a 3-fryer Solstice electric battery with built-in filter drawer filtration, configured for 208V 3-phase electric service. Each fryer holds 40-50 lb of oil over a 14" x 14" frying area at 17 kW, for 150 lb of total oil capacity and 51 kW of combined input. It is a complete, high-production fry station for operations where the fry line runs from open to close.

Solstice Electric Heating System

Solstice electric fryers heat oil with fixed immersion-type elements sheathed in high-temperature alloy, placed directly in the oil for fast, efficient heat transfer with no flue losses. Because the elements are fixed rather than swinging up on pivots, oil can't migrate through pivot components and hot elements stay inside the tank, a safer design for busy crews. The elements can still be removed for cleaning without access to the back of the fryer.

Electric frying puts nearly all of the energy into the oil, keeps the kitchen cooler and needs no gas line. The X, standard and R versions (14, 17 and 22 kW) let you match recovery speed to your volume, and mercury-free contactors and front-serviceable components keep maintenance simple.

Why Operators Choose It

• Efficient electric frying: immersion elements put the heat directly into the oil, with ENERGY STAR performance on qualified models
• Pick your recovery: 14, 17 or 22 kW inputs to suit anything from steady to very high production
• Safer design: fixed elements, drain valve interlock and a high-temperature safety limit switch
• Clog-free draining: 1-1/4" full-port drain valve
• Front serviceable: all components are reached from the front, with mercury-free relays and contactors
• Built to last: stainless steel tank, front, door and sides with a 10-year fry pot warranty
• Mix and match: any Solstice electric models can be combined into one battery

Built-In Filtration That Protects Your Oil Investment

Built-in filter drawer filtration is one of the most effective ways to control frying cost. The stainless filter pan rolls out from under the fryer cabinet, and filtering is a simple two-step process: open the drain valve to send oil into the pan, then open the return valve to pump clean oil back. A 1/3 HP pump and large return lines refill the frypot quickly, a 3" curved drain line drains without clogging, and the large filter envelope handles heavily breaded menus between media changes. Filtering every day keeps food tasting fresh and extends the life of every oil fill, without staff carrying hot oil across the kitchen. One filter serves the entire battery.

Controls

Solid state thermostat with melt cycle and boil-out mode is standard. Through Pitco's universal control system the fryer can be ordered with a digital controller, the Intellifry 12-button computer with elastic timers, or the 10.1" OneTouch touchscreen, plus an optional back-up thermostat.

Ideal For

• Kitchens without gas service or with tight ventilation budgets
• Quick-service and fast-casual restaurants
• Schools, hospitals, corporate dining and other institutions
• Hotels, resorts and full-service restaurants
• Operators replacing older electric fryers with a more efficient platform
