Pitco SSH55 Solstice Supreme™ 15 - 50 lb. Gas Floor Model Full Pot Fryer with Solid State Controls - 80,000 BTU

The Frialator SSH55 Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Fryer from Pitco is an extremely dependable gas-heated unit designed specifically for use in commercial kitchens with a high demand for fried menu items. Aside from its reliable track record, this Floor Model Gas Fryer is designed to be as efficient as possible and is ENERGY STAR® qualified. The 14-inch by 14-inch fry tank holds between 40 and 50 lbs of oil.

For ease of use even with untrained labor, this fryer comes with the Intellifry controller. This allows operators to set up to 12 cooking modes for various menu items to make sure they are cooked consistently with as little training as possible. To keep the fryer from reaching dangerous temperatures, this model comes with a high-temperature safety switch which will automatically switch the unit off when it starts to overheat. To make operations easier and more automated this fryer can be ordered with the optional Intellifry I12 computer or digital controller. The I12 Intellifry has 12 elastic timers that make cooking 12 different menu items as simple as possible. The Digital controller has two timers. Either of these options can accept the automated basket lifts that make sure food is never over-cooked. 

With a total of 80,000 BTU/hr of heat output, this fryer can quickly heat oil to the needed temperature so you can get frying quicker than fast in a hurry. This is made possible by the Solstice Burner Technology that was developed and patented by Pitco. The burner doesn’t need blowers or ceramics to efficiently provide heat, this makes the fryer much more reliable since there are fewer components that can fail. The burner is also self-cleaning and features down draft protection to make sure the fryer is always running at peak efficiency.

Below the tube rack, an extensive cool zone catches crumbs and other debris and prevents them from being carbonized. This prevents the oil from taking on any undesirable flavors while extending the amount of time the oil can be used between drainings.

With stainless steel construction on this unit’s door, sides, tank, and front it’s easy to maintain and clean. Draining oil is simple and quick with a 1-¼” full port drain. A drain extension and clean out rod are included to make draining easy. Two basket configurations are offered with this fryer, either a single full-size basket or 2 twin-size baskets.
