Overview

Blue Seal GT46E Evolution Series 450mm Twin Pan Gas Fryer

The Blue Seal GT46E Evolution Series is a 450mm freestanding commercial twin pan gas fryer built for medium to high-volume kitchens that need flexible, independent frying capability without sacrificing bench space. Each of the two 13-litre stainless steel fry tanks operates independently, allowing different food types to be cooked simultaneously with no flavour transfer, while Blue Seal's patented Vee Ray infrared burner technology delivers a combined 90MJ/hr of gas output for rapid heat-up and outstanding oil recovery throughout a busy service.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel, the GT46E features digital electronic thermostats on each pan with a temperature range of 88–193°C, three product timers per pan (six total), and an over-temperature safety cut-out for consistent, safe operation. The cool-zone V-tank design extends oil life, simplifies cleaning, and reduces running costs, while the compact 450mm footprint and modular Evolution Series format make it straightforward to integrate into a complete professional kitchen suite. Available in Natural Gas or LPG configurations.

Key Benefits

• Independent twin pan operation lets you fry different products at different temperatures simultaneously, preventing flavour transfer and improving service flexibility.
• Vee Ray patented infrared burners deliver 2 x 45MJ/hr (90MJ/hr total), producing a 31kg/hr production rate and fast oil recovery to keep output high during peak periods.
• Six product timers across two pans (three per pan) help kitchen staff manage multiple frying batches accurately and reduce the risk of over- or under-cooked product.
• Cool-zone V-tank design keeps food debris away from the active heat zone, slowing oil degradation, cutting oil replacement costs, and making cleaning faster.
• Digital LCD temperature controls on each pan allow precise, repeatable results across an 88–193°C range, suiting everything from delicate seafood to thick-cut chips.
• Over-temperature safety cut-out provides an additional layer of protection for staff, equipment, and oil quality in a high-output environment.
• Compact 450mm width maximises available kitchen space while still providing dual independent frying zones suited to medium to high-volume operations.
• Supplied ready to use with two standard baskets, 150mm adjustable stainless steel legs for easy cleaning beneath the unit, and a 165mm splashback included.
