Overview

Blue Seal GT46 Evolution Series 450mm Twin Pan Gas Fryer

The Blue Seal GT46 is a 450mm freestanding twin pan gas fryer from the Evolution Series, built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in demanding commercial kitchens. Each independent pan holds 13 litres of oil and is powered by a 45MJ/hr infrared burner using Blue Seal's patented Vee Ray technology, delivering a combined production rate of 31kg per hour and industry-leading heat recovery to keep service moving during peak periods.

Mechanical direct-action thermostats maintain oil temperature to within plus or minus 1.0°C across a range of 145 to 195°C, while over-temperature safety cut-outs provide an additional layer of protection. The unit accepts both natural gas and LPG connections via a 3/4" BSP male fitting, comes supplied with two standard baskets, and features a 165mm splashback as standard. Its straightforward design also makes routine cleaning, installation, and servicing quick and uncomplicated.

Key Benefits
