Serv-Ware SGF-50 50 Lb. Floor Fryer, 4 Tubes, 120,000 BTU, 15" Wide, Stainless Steel Fry Tank
The Serv-Ware SGF-50 puts more heat into the same narrow cabinet: four tubes and 50 lb of oil in a fryer just 15-1/2" wide. That makes it a smart pick for burger and chicken shops, sports bars and family restaurants that need faster recovery at the rush but do not have room to go wider.
Each of the 4 heat tubes is rated at 30,000 BTU/hr, for 120,000 BTU/hr in total, and a thermostat sets the oil anywhere from 200°F to 400°F. The stainless steel fry tank has a peened finish and a cold zone below the tubes, where crumbs settle out of the cooking oil instead of scorching.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Recovers between loads. Four 30,000 BTU tubes bring the oil back up to temperature quickly after you drop frozen product, so batches come out crisp, not greasy.
- Oil stays cleaner. Debris sinks into the cold zone under the tubes, where it will not burn and darken the oil.
- Closing goes quicker. The 1-1/4" full-port drain valve speeds up draining and filtering, and a drain tube rack comes with the fryer.
- Simple to run. One thermostat dial from 200°F to 400°F; no menus to program or screens to break.
- Built for daily wipe-downs. Stainless steel front, top, header and door take the scrubbing, and the door has a recessed handle.
