Description
Solstice Supreme™ Twin-Tank High-Efficiency Gas Fryer
Pitco Model SSH55TR | 2 × 25 lb vats • 100,000 BTUBuilt for busy kitchens that refuse to compromise on speed, consistency, or operating cost, the Pitco Solstice Supreme™ SSH55TR delivers high-production frying with up to 70 % thermal efficiency—all without blowers or fragile ceramics. Its twin 25 lb stainless-steel tanks let you run separate menus or stagger cook cycles, while patented self-cleaning burners and downdraft protection keep performance locked-in shift after shift.
Why operators love it
- High output, low bills: Solstice Supreme atmospheric burners slash flue temperatures and energy use.
- Daily self-cleaning: a 30-second cycle clears burner ports for peak efficiency—no tools required.
- Downdraft protection: built-in sensor keeps the fryer running safely when ventilation is less than perfect.
- Matchless ignition: pilot lights automatically only when power is on, saving gas during idle periods.
- Solid-state controls: precise thermostat with melt and boil-out modes streamlines prep and shutdown.
- DVI drain-valve interlock: turns burners off the instant the 1¼″ full-port valve opens—no scorched oil.
- Built to last: stainless-steel tank, front and sides; heavy-duty 3⁄16″ door hinge; 9″ adjustable legs.
- Easy cleaning: tube rack, removable basket hanger, clean-out rod, and optional filter drawer or SoloFilter.
