Brika - 70 lb Natural Gas Tube Fired Fryer, 150,000 BTU - BFR-70-NG
Model Number: DIST-BFR-70-NG
Description
The 70 lb frypot on this floor-standing natural gas fryer is the largest in the BFR line, holding roughly 36 L of oil over five tube-fired burners. Total input is 150,000 BTU/Hr, which is the kind of capacity a high-volume chicken or seafood operation needs when the fryer never gets a quiet minute. Frying area is 19.50" x 14.00", wider than the 40 lb and 50 lb models.
Each of the five burners is rated 30,000 BTU/Hr and fires through a tube that spreads flame across a large heat transfer area, holding the set point under continuous load. A durable temperature probe feeds the thermostat over a 200°F to 400°F range, and the millivolt safety control system keeps gas shutoff independent of any electrical connection. The forward-sloping bottom moves sediment into the large cold zone so oil lasts longer, and a 1.25" full port drain valve with pipe empties 70 lbs quickly at the end of the day. Overall size is 21.00" x 32.88" x 45.00" and net weight is 220 lbs.
