Pitco SSHLV14C-2/14T-2/FD Reduced Oil Volume 4-Fryer Gas Battery with Filter Drawer, 2 Full + 2 Split Vats, Auto Top-Off & Filtration, Liquid Propane

The Pitco SSHLV14C-2/14T-2/FD is a complete reduced oil volume gas frying system with 2 full-vat fryers (32 lb of oil each) and 2 split-vat fryers (17 lb per side), a shared built-in filter drawer, automatic top-off, automatic filtration and 12-button computer controls, configured for liquid propane. 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 32 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.

Heat comes from Pitco's blower-free Solstice Supreme burner with automatic pilot lighting, so you also get the low gas use and low maintenance of the Solstice Supreme platform.

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 computer with +/-1°F control and instant-on heating
• Efficient gas burner: blower-free Solstice Supreme burner, ENERGY STAR on full-vat models
• 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
• Safety: drain valve interlock shuts off heat when the drain is opened

Controls

Intellifry 12-button computer is standard, with melt cycle, programmable cook, shake and hold timers and anti-boil-over mode; the 10.1" OneTouch touchscreen is available as an upgrade. Options include computer-controlled automatic filtration, hands-free automatic top-off and the SmartOIL sensor (SOS).

Ideal For

• Quick-service chains focused on oil cost and sustainability
• Fried chicken, seafood and fry programs
• High-volume operations reducing waste-oil pickups
• Operators who want gas efficiency and oil savings together

Specifications

Installation & Utility Requirements

• Gas connection: 3/4" NPT rear gas inlet with factory rear manifold for a single connection to the battery
• Supply pressure: natural gas 7-10" W.C. / LP 11-13" W.C. at the store supply; burner manifold set to 4" W.C. (NG) or 10" W.C. (LP). Size the gas line so pressure holds with every appliance on the line at full fire.
• Electrical: 115V/60 Hz service for controls, filter pump and top-off system
• Clearances: 6" from combustible construction at sides and rear (0" from non-combustible); 30" minimum clear aisle in front; do not curb mount
• Ventilation: install under a commercial exhaust hood; do not restrict flue gases or place hood drains over the flue
• Mobile installs: fryers on casters (and any fryer with basket lifts) must use a flexible gas hose with restraining cable per CSA/AGA requirements
