Description
Six high-efficiency 50-60 lb. gas fryers in one line-up, sharing a built-in filter drawer.
The Pitco SSH60W-6FD is a 6-fryer battery of Solstice Supreme SSH60W tube-fired gas fryers with Pitco's Solstice filter drawer built in underneath. Each fryer holds 50-60 lb. of oil over an 18" x 14" frying area and fires at 100,000 BTU/hr (600,000 BTU/hr for the line-up). One filter serves every vat: drain a fryer into the pan with the blue handle, then pump clean oil back with the red handle. It is built for high-volume chicken, seafood and quick-service kitchens. Each fryer is ENERGY STAR certified (SSHF60W, 56% cooking efficiency in the ENERGY STAR database).

A 6-fryer battery ships as a large freight load; measure doorways, turns and the hood length before ordering. Install on legs or optional Pitco casters; it cannot be curb-mounted.
Shared filter drawer
Pitco's Solstice filter drawer sits under the battery: 1/3 HP pump, 8 GPM at 60 Hz, 3" drain line with a swivel spout.
Two-step filtering
Blue handle drains a fryer into the pan; red handle opens the return valve and starts the pump in one move.
Solstice Supreme burners
Atmospheric burners with no blower or ceramics, a daily self-cleaning cycle and down draft protection; Pitco rates them at up to 70% thermal efficiency.
Solid state controls
Each fryer has a solid state thermostat with melt cycle, boil-out mode and drain valve interlock; digital and computer controls are options.
Rear T gas manifold
Pitco fryer systems come with a rear T manifold, so the line-up is fed from one gas connection.
