The Pitco VF-65S floor fryer is a high-performance, tube-fired gas fryer engineered for dependable operation and efficient production in demanding commercial kitchens. With a generous 65 lb oil capacity and 95,000 BTU heating power, this standalone fryer is well suited for frying large volumes while maintaining consistent cooking results. ENERGY STAR® certification reflects its ability to deliver strong output while improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. A millivolt control system with a standing pilot ensures reliable operation even during power interruptions, and operators can select either natural gas or LP gas through a dropdown option to match their kitchen setup.
Built for durability and ease of maintenance, the fryer features a welded stainless steel tank with an extra-smooth peened finish that simplifies cleaning and extends service life. High-temperature alloy stainless steel heat baffles mounted inside the heat exchanger tubes maximize heat transfer and combustion efficiency. The stainless steel construction continues throughout the front, door, sides, and splash back, creating a rugged cabinet that stands up to daily use while maintaining a professional appearance. A front-mounted 1-1/4 inch NPT drain valve, drain extension, and clean-out rod allow for fast and safe oil draining and cleaning.
Advanced burner and control components enhance both performance and safety. The Solstice burner and baffle design increases cooking production, lowers flue temperatures, improves the working environment, and generates more output per BTU. An integrated gas control valve combines multiple safety and control functions, including pilot and main valve regulation, gas filtering, and pressure regulation. The thermostat automatically maintains selected temperatures between 200°F and 400°F, while a temperature limit switch safely shuts off gas flow if the fryer exceeds safe operating limits. Additional operator-friendly features include a removable basket hanger, two twin-size baskets, a built-in flue deflector, and 9-inch adjustable legs for easier access during cleaning. Designed with both efficiency and safety in mind, the Pitco VF-65S delivers reliable frying performance for busy foodservice operations.
