Blue Air BLF5-LPG 21" Liquid Propane Floor Fryer, 70 lb. Oil Capacity, 5 Tube Burners, 150,000 BTU
A 70 lb. LP gas floor fryer with 5 tube burners and fast recovery.
The Blue Air BLF5-LPG is a 21" liquid propane floor fryer from the Blue Lava cooking line. Its fry pot holds 70 lb. (8.3 gallons) of oil, heated by 5 cast iron tube burners at 30,000 BTU each, 150,000 BTU in all. A millivolt control holds 200°F to 400°F, and the large cold zone keeps crumbs out of the oil.
It must go under a ventilation hood; plan for 21" of width in the fryer line.
5 tube burners at 30,000 BTU each make an expanded hot zone, 150,000 BTU in all, for even heat and quick recovery.
The fry pot holds 70 lb. (8.3 gallons) of oil, with a 19.49" x 13.98" frying area.
A millivolt safety control system with a heavy-duty probe holds oil temperature from 200°F to 400°F.
An oversized cold zone and gently pitched frypot floor move crumbs and sediment to the front, so oil stays cleaner and lasts longer.
Every area of the frypot can be reached and cleaned by hand. A drain valve lets you empty the pot into a container for daily cleaning.
This BLF5-LPG is the liquid propane model, set for 10" W.C. supply pressure. The BLF5-NG is the natural gas version.
