Overview

Gasmax RC500E Superfast Natural Gas Tube Fryer

The Gasmax RC500E Superfast Natural Gas Tube Fryer is a high-output single-tank commercial fryer designed for busy restaurants, takeaways, and food service operations that need to produce large volumes of perfectly fried fish, chips, and other fried foods without interruption. Powered by a 150MJ multi-jet burner system, the RC500E delivers very fast oil temperature recovery so back-to-back batches maintain consistent results even during peak service periods.

Built entirely from stainless steel across the front, door, tank, and trim, the RC500E is engineered for longevity and straightforward hygiene maintenance. A cold zone beneath the burner tubes traps food particles away from the active cooking area to extend oil life, while a 32mm ball-type full-port drain valve, a removable stainless steel basket hanger, and front-accessible components all make end-of-service cleaning and routine servicing quick and practical.

Key Benefits

• A 43 kg per hour production rate ensures high throughput during peak service, reducing customer wait times and supporting continuous output.
• Very fast oil temperature recovery between batches keeps cooking consistent and prevents quality dropping off when demand is high.
• The cold zone design traps food debris below the burner tubes, protecting oil quality and reducing how often it needs to be changed.
• All components are accessible and replaceable from the front of the unit, minimising downtime for servicing and repairs.
• The 32mm ball-type full-port drain valve allows quick, clog-free oil changes, simplifying post-service clean-down.
• Millivolt mechanical controls operate without an electrical supply, improving reliability and reducing potential failure points in demanding kitchen environments.
• Flame failure protection and a standby pilot provide built-in safety and make lighting the fryer straightforward at the start of each service.
• IAPMO approval and a Robshaw valve provide confidence the unit meets recognised safety and installation standards.
• The included stainless steel lid and three baskets mean the fryer is ready to operate immediately out of the box, with no additional purchases required.
