The Comstock-Castle CS-VF50 Gas Floor Fryer
The Comstock-Castle CS-VF50 is a 16-inch custom open-pot floor fryer, built for custom-spec fryer lines and concession operations that need a unit holding production temperature through full service without losing performance. The CS-VF50 is engineered for deep-frying battered and breaded product in a custom-width open-pot floor chassis.
In a real kitchen, the unit plugs into a dedicated 120V outlet, so it drops onto any countertop without a gas line or special wiring. The 16-inch footprint matches a standard cookline depth.
This is the right call for tight-counter or single-station operations. If you need to handle higher product volume per service, the wider siblings in the same series carry more capacity.
Electric Heating Elements Embedded for Even Surface Coverage
Tubular electric heating elements run beneath the cooking surface or radiant area, giving the unit even heat distribution without the hot/cold zones common on imported electric units. Standard household-style plug means the unit installs onto any kitchen counter with a dedicated outlet, no gas line required.
Welded Stainless Steel Body on Adjustable Legs
The CS-VF50 body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on adjustable stainless feet so the unit levels on any countertop or floor. Welded construction holds up under hot-cold cycling and daily pan abuse where bolted construction works loose after a season of service.
Solid-State or Snap-Action Controls Per the Unit Model
Electric controls cycle the heating elements via a thermostat or manual switch (depending on model), holding production temperature consistently across service without the operator riding the controls.
About Comstock-Castle
Founded in 1838 in Quincy, Illinois, Comstock-Castle is America's oldest stove manufacturer still in operation. The company grew from a frontier hardware shop into a grey-iron foundry that helped make Quincy the nation's stove-production hub by the early 1900s. Seven generations later, Comstock-Castle still designs and union-builds commercial cooking equipment in the same Quincy facility, with ranges, griddles, charbroilers, fryers, and modular cook lines configurable from 24 to 72 inches to match your menu. Built to outlast the kitchens that put them on the line.
