Overview

Blue Seal GP513-B Evolution Series 450mm Gas Griddle – Bench Model

The Blue Seal GP513-B is a heavy-duty 450mm bench-model gas griddle from the Evolution Series, built for high-volume commercial kitchens in cafés, restaurants, hotels, takeaway shops, and catering venues. Its 20mm thick smooth mild steel griddle plate delivers exceptional heat retention and even distribution, while a 40 MJ/hr thermostatic burner system maintains precise temperatures between 90°C and 300°C for consistent results across breakfast service, burgers, steaks, seafood, sandwiches, and more.

Constructed with 304 stainless steel and featuring solid, seamless weld construction, the GP513-B is engineered for durability, hygiene, and straightforward servicing. Full pilot and flame failure protection with push-button piezo ignition provide operator safety, while the compact bench-mounted footprint makes it equally suited to standalone use or integration into a modular Evolution Series cooking line. Available in Natural Gas or LPG, with optional ribbed or mirror chrome plate surfaces to suit different cooking applications.

Key Benefits

• Precise thermostat control from 90°C to 300°C allows operators to dial in consistent cooking temperatures during busy service periods, reducing the risk of over or undercooking.
• The 20mm thick griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly across the full 442mm x 530mm cooking surface, supporting rapid heat recovery between consecutive loads.
• Full pilot and flame failure protection with push-button piezo ignition keeps service running safely and minimises downtime from relighting burners manually.
• Compact 450mm bench-model footprint maximises usable kitchen space and slots neatly into modular cooking lines or standalone bench configurations.
• Top weld sealed plates and a stainless steel grease drawer simplify cleaning, helping kitchen staff achieve fast turnaround between services.
• Adjustable feet and two additional rollers make positioning and levelling straightforward during installation or reconfiguration.
• Choice of smooth, ribbed, or optional mirror chrome plate surfaces gives operators flexibility to tailor the griddle to their specific menu requirements.
• Available in both Natural Gas and LPG, making the unit adaptable to different site gas supplies without requiring a separate product.
