Pitco SG14R-S Solstice Gas Floor Fryer, 40-50 lb Oil Capacity, 122,000 BTU, Liquid Propane

The Pitco SG14R-S is a Solstice gas floor fryer with 40-50 lb of oil over a 14" x 14" frying area, rated at 122,000 BTU/hr and configured for liquid propane.

Solstice Burner Technology, No Electricity Required

The stand-alone Solstice gas fryer pairs Pitco's blower-free Solstice burner and baffle design with a simple millivolt thermostat and thermo-safety pilot. The burner draws more primary air for a better gas mix, and the baffles scrub heat out of the flame so the tank reaches radiant mode faster, which means quicker temperature recovery and more product per BTU with lower flue temperatures.

Because the millivolt control generates its own power, the fryer needs no electrical connection and keeps frying through a power outage. That makes it a dependable, low-maintenance workhorse for operators who want Solstice performance without electronics.

Why Operators Choose It

• Fast recovery: Solstice burner and baffle design for more production per BTU
• No electricity needed: millivolt thermostat (200-400°F) with thermo-safety pilot and built-in regulator
• Safety: high-temperature limit switch shuts off gas if the oil overheats
• Longer oil life: tube rack lets crumbs fall into the cool zone away from the frying area
• Built to last: peened stainless steel tank with 10-year fry pot warranty; stainless front, door and sides
• Easy service and cleaning: separate front gas shutoffs, 1-1/4" full-port drain, removable basket hanger and 9" legs

Controls

This model uses a millivolt thermostat for simple, reliable operation. It is a stand-alone fryer: for solid state, digital or computer controls, basket lifts or built-in filtration, choose the SG14RS filter-ready models.

Ideal For

• Independent restaurants, bars and taverns
• Concessions and seasonal operations
