Key Performance Features
- 16 gal (60 L) 317-alloy stainless steel vessel resists harsh salt concentrations and is robotically welded to virtually eliminate leaks.
- 140,000 BTU tube-fired burners with an oval heat exchanger and baffle system distribute heat evenly across the entire tank for faster cook times.
- Exclusive water-wash system continuously sweeps starch off the surface; adjustable from 1 gal/hr to 3 gal/min to match your menu and workflow.
- Millivolt temperature control requires no external electrical connection and includes a 100 % safety shut-off for peace of mind.
- Full-port 1 ¼" drain valve and recessed slanted bottom empty the vessel quickly and safely between batches.
- Durable exterior – stainless steel front, door, sides, and 6" legs withstand daily wear; optional casters add mobility.
