Commercial Gas Floor Fryer, 66,000 BTU, 3 Independent Burners, Welded Stainless Steel Tank with Cool Zone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Atosa ATFS-40ES is the 40-pound gas floor fryer that sits at the entry of Atosa's ATFS-ES floor-fryer family, sized for cafes, sandwich shops, and small QSR lines that need real recovery without giving up more than 15 1\/2 inches of cookline width. Three independent 22,000 BTU burners deliver 66,000 BTU under a welded stainless steel tank, so a basket of fresh-cut fries or breaded chicken tenders pulls oil temperature back inside the cook window before the next ticket lands. Independent manual control lets you idle the back burners between rushes and bring them up to full output when the line picks back up, which keeps gas consumption matched to the actual fry load instead of running flat-out all shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e66,000 BTU Total Across 3 Independent 22,000 BTU Burners with Standing Pilots\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ATFS-40ES uses 3 heavy-duty burners with standing flame and standby pilots, controlled independently so the back burners can hold idle while the front burners crash-fry a hot load. Standing pilots mean no electrical hookup is required, so the fryer can be sited on a gas-only cookline and stays operational through a power outage as long as gas pressure holds. The 3-burner layout matches the 40-pound tank capacity so heat reaches every quadrant of the oil rather than concentrating at the center, which means the basket recovers evenly whether you load it to the back or the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWelded Stainless Steel Tank with Cool Zone for Longer Oil Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 40-pound tank is welded stainless steel rather than spot-welded or seamed, which is what holds oil-tight through years of thermal cycling between idle and full-load fry temperatures. A cool zone at the bottom of the tank pulls food particles, breading sloughs, and carbon below the burner heat path so they settle out instead of carbonizing in the cook zone. That extends oil life between change-outs and keeps the flavor profile cleaner across a long service. The wire mesh crumb screen and basket hanger ship standard so you can rest baskets above the oil to drain between drops without dripping on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e200°F to 400°F Millivolt Thermostat with 100% Safety Shut-Off\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high-quality millivolt thermostat holds the oil at any setpoint from 200°F up to 400°F automatically, covering the full range from low-temperature par-cook through high-temperature finish fry. A safety valve with an automatic voltage stabilizing function and a self-reset high temperature limiting device shut gas to the burners if the thermostat ever loses signal or the oil overheats, so the fryer fails closed rather than running away during an unattended moment on the line. The millivolt design means the controls run off the pilot's own thermocouple voltage, no plug or outlet needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRoll-Around Footprint with Two Nickel-Plated Baskets Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour casters ship standard so the ATFS-40ES rolls out from under the hood for back-of-house cleaning and rolls back into position without lifting. Two nickel-plated baskets with coated handles come in the box, so the fryer is ready to run on day one. The unit is available in natural gas and liquid propane configurations and uses a 3\/4 inch NPT rear gas connection with regulator, dropping onto a standard commercial gas stub-out without adapter fittings. An optional leg kit replaces the casters for fixed installs; a splash guard, fryer cover, and joiner strip are available for batteries with sister fryers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for low-to-mid-volume operations that need a real commercial fryer but don't want to dedicate a 50-pound or 75-pound footprint to a single station. If fries land on every ticket through dinner service, the ATFS-50ES or ATFS-75ES from the same family will recover faster under load. Plan for a 1\/2 inch NPT rear gas connection on a natural gas or propane stub-out, and budget for a Type I exhaust hood overhead since this is open-flame gas cooking equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51312353771805,"sku":"ATFS-40ES","price":1068.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/57091_up_ATFS-40ES_main_40a40145-e144-4f7a-891c-335dd3e54506.jpg?v=1779320148","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/atosa-atfs-40es-40-lb-commercial-gas-floor-fryer-66-000-btu-3-independent-burners-welded-stainless-steel-tank-with-cool-zone","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
