Product Details

Imperial’s Elements Gas Tube Fryer is engineered for commercial kitchens that demand long-lasting performance and powerful results. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, the fryer features robotically welded stainless steel tubes and sides for a clean, professional finish that stand up to the toughest kitchen environments. The 105,000 (31 KW) BTU's provide fast recovery and heat oil quickly resulting in better tasting food. The large heat transfer area rapidly heats oil to the desired temperature and the large "cool zone" helps capture food particles, prolongs oil life and reduces taste transfer. It includes two fry baskets with vinyl-coated handles and a fine mesh, crumb screen. This fryer stands on plate-mounted, 6-inch heavy-duty legs or optional casters—ensuring secure support and easy mobility when needed.
