The PITCO SG18S free standing single tank gas fryer forms part of Pitco’s Solstice Series – a proven workhorse range trusted by high-volume foodservice operations. Designed for heavy production, it is capable of cooking over 40 kg of frozen product per hour while maintaining fast recovery times and consistent frying results.
The Solstice burner and baffle system improves heat transfer efficiency, reducing oil absorption while increasing output per BTU. Lower flue temperatures also help improve the working environment in busy kitchens.
Supplied with a millivolt thermostat, thermo-safety pilot and high-limit safety cut-out, the SG18S delivers reliable, controlled performance throughout service. Its large frying area and high oil capacity make it well suited to takeaways, restaurants and operations where throughput matters.
This model is available in Natural Gas or LPG. Please select your required gas type at checkout.
