Overview

Blue Seal GT45E Evolution Series 450mm Single Pan Gas Fryer

The Blue Seal GT45E is a 450mm freestanding single pan gas fryer from the Evolution Series, purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens including restaurants, cafes, hotels, takeaway shops, and fast food outlets. Its compact footprint makes it well suited to kitchens with limited bench or floor space, while the 20-litre oil capacity and 31kg/hr production rate deliver the throughput needed during peak service. The unit is available in both Natural Gas and LPG configurations and is manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel.

The GT45E is powered by Blue Seal's patented Vee Ray infrared burner technology, using two 45MJ/hr infrared burners for a total gas output of 90MJ/hr. This system provides rapid heat-up times and exceptional oil temperature recovery between loads, making it ideal for high-volume frying of chips, chicken, seafood, battered products, and snacks. Digital electronic controls with a thermostat range of 88-193°C, three product timers, and an LCD display give operators precise, repeatable control over frying results, while an over-temperature safety cut-out and cool-zone V-tank design protect both the equipment and oil quality.

Key Benefits

• Patented Vee Ray infrared burners deliver rapid oil recovery between loads, maintaining consistent frying quality and reducing wait times during busy service periods.
• A 31kg/hr production rate supports continuous high-volume output, making the GT45E capable of handling demanding menu requirements in medium to high-volume operations.
• Three programmable product timers paired with the digital LCD display allow kitchen staff to manage multiple fried products simultaneously with repeatable accuracy.
• The cool-zone V-tank design keeps cooler oil in the lower section of the pan, reducing the breakdown of food particles and extending usable oil life to lower running costs.
• An over-temperature safety cut-out protects the fryer and its contents if the thermostat fails to maintain safe operating limits, adding a layer of operational safety.
• Easy-clean open pan construction and accessible service components minimise downtime during cleaning and routine maintenance, keeping the unit productive across long shifts.
• As part of the modular Blue Seal Evolution Series, the GT45E integrates seamlessly alongside other 450mm and 600mm Evolution Series appliances for cohesive kitchen suite layouts.
• Dual gas compatibility means the unit can be ordered in either Natural Gas or LPG to suit the existing gas infrastructure of the venue.
• Supplied with two standard baskets, the GT45E is ready to use straight from installation without additional basket purchases.
