Pitco SGM24 MegaFry Gas Floor Fryer, 140-150 lb Oil Capacity, 165,000 BTU

The Pitco SGM24 is a MegaFry high-production gas floor fryer with 140-150 lb of oil over a 24" x 24" frying area, rated at 165,000 BTU/hr and available for natural gas or liquid propane (select gas type). It cooks up to 145.6 lb of fries per hour.

Built for Maximum Output

The MegaFry SGM24 is Pitco's highest-capacity fryer: a 24" x 24" frypot holding 140-150 lb of oil, fired at 165,000 BTU/hr with Solstice burner technology at 62% thermal efficiency. It produces up to 145.6 lb of fries per hour, about 36% more than an SSH75R, for operations where one standard fryer simply can't keep up.

Solstice burner technology delivers dependable heat transfer without complex power blowers. Matchless ignition, a drain valve interlock and a solid state thermostat with melt cycle and boil-out are standard, and the integrated gas valve shuts off all gas if the oil overheats.
