Pitco SELV14TC-2/FD Reduced Oil Volume 2-Fryer Electric Battery with Filter Drawer, 2 Split Vats, Auto Top-Off & Filtration, 240V 3-Ph

The Pitco SELV14TC-2/FD is a complete reduced oil volume electric frying system with 2 split-vat fryers (15 lb per side), a shared built-in filter drawer, automatic top-off, automatic filtration and 12-button computer controls, configured for 240V 3-phase electric service. It is engineered for high-volume operators who want to cut oil cost and labor without slowing the fry line.

Reduced Oil Volume: Same Production, Far Less Oil

Pitco reduced oil volume (ROV) fryers are built for operators who need to cut operating cost without giving up production. They cook like a 50 lb fryer using about 30 lb of oil, take standard baskets and keep a full 4" cook depth. That means roughly 40% less oil on the first fill and at every oil change after, and because the small oil volume turns over faster with top-off, the time between oil changes is extended significantly.

The FILTER SOON production monitor tracks cooking activity in each frypot and tells the crew when it's time to filter, taking the guesswork out of oil care. Filtering and reheating can be done in under 5 minutes in most cases. A push-button top-off system draws fresh oil from an on-board 35 lb jug-in-box (JIB) holder with a low-oil warning, so staff no longer carry heavy jugs through the kitchen.

Why Operators Choose It

• Up to 50% less oil: lower fill volume and longer oil life cut one of the biggest costs in any fry operation
• Consistent results: Intellifry 12-button computer control standard
• Easy lift-out elements: immersion elements lift out for cleaning
• Fast filtration: built-in filter drawer with 3" drain line and large 10" x 20.5" filter envelope
• Safer oil handling: push-button top-off from an on-board JIB, no jug carrying
• ENERGY STAR certified platform with mercury-free contactors

Controls

Intellifry 12-button computer is standard, with melt cycle and programmable cook, shake and hold timers; the 10.1" OneTouch touchscreen is available as an upgrade. Options include computer-controlled automatic filtration, automatic top-off and the SmartOIL sensor (SOS), which tells you when to reuse oil and when to change it.

Ideal For

• Quick-service chains focused on oil cost and sustainability
• Fried chicken, seafood and fry programs
• High-volume operations reducing waste-oil pickups
• Kitchens with electric service
