Imperial IFS-50-OP 50 lb Open Pot Gas Fryer
High-performance floor model • 140,000 BTUEngineered for demanding commercial kitchens, the Imperial IFS-50-OP delivers rapid recovery, simple cleanup and rock-solid durability. Its open-pot burner system and large cold zone keep oil fresh longer, while the stainless steel construction stands up to years of heavy use.
Key Advantages
- Open-pot burners transfer intense heat to the oil—no tubes to clean or air shutters to adjust.
- Snap-action thermostat maintains 200 – 400 °F (93 – 204 °C) for perfectly uniform results.
- Large cold zone traps crumbs below the fry zone, cutting taste transfer and extending oil life.
- 14" × 14" robotically welded stainless steel frypot virtually eliminates leaks.
- Deep-drawn sloped bottom & 1-¼" full-port drain valve speed up safe oil draining.
- Includes fine-mesh crumb screen and two nickel-plated baskets with cool-touch vinyl handles.
- Stainless steel front, sides, door, basket hanger & frypot resist corrosion and wipe clean fast.
- Heavy-duty 6" adjustable stainless steel legs provide rock-solid support (casters optional).
- 100 % gas safety shut-off valve for added peace of mind.
- Certified ETL, ETL-Sanitation & CE for international compliance.
