IKON IGF-40/40 NG 21 In. Natural Gas Split Pot Floor Fryer, (2) 40 Lb. Tanks, 120,000 BTU, Millivolt Control

The IKON IGF-40/40 is a natural gas split pot floor fryer with two independent fry tanks, four 30,000 BTU heat tubes, and a total output of 120,000 BTU. The split tank design lets you fry two different items at two different temperatures at the same time, or shut one side down during slower periods to cut gas usage. Each tank holds approximately 40 pounds of oil, with a total oil capacity of 72 to 78 pounds. At 20.9 inches wide, it takes up roughly the same line space as a standard single-tank fryer but gives you the flexibility of two separate frying stations. The tube heat exchange design recovers temperature fast after each batch drop, and the large cold zone below the tubes in each tank traps crumbs and breading to keep your oil cleaner longer.

Two Independent Split Tanks with Individual Gas Controls

The IGF-40/40 divides its frying capacity into two separate tanks, each with its own millivolt gas control system. You can run both tanks at different temperatures at the same time, so one side can hold at 325 degrees for delicate fish fillets while the other runs at 375 for french fries or chicken. When volume drops during slower periods, you can shut one tank down entirely and save gas while the other keeps working. Each tank holds approximately 40 pounds of oil and is served by two of the four 30,000 BTU heat tubes, giving each side 60,000 BTU of independent heating power. The two millivolt snap-action thermostats each control their tank between 200 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit without requiring an electrical connection. Because the tanks are separate, a full oil change on one side does not interrupt frying on the other.

Peened Stainless Steel Tanks on 5-Inch Casters

Both fry tanks are stainless steel that has been fully peened (pressure blasted) to create a smoother interior surface. The peened finish reduces the rough spots where oil residue and polymerized buildup tend to grip, so boil-outs clear each tank more effectively and daily wipe-downs go faster. Below the heat tubes, a large cold zone at the bottom of each tank traps breading, crumbs, and food particles that fall off during frying. Because these particles settle below the active heat zone, they do not continue to cook and carbonize in the hot oil, which means your oil stays cleaner longer and you get fewer off-flavors in the finished product. A 1-1/4 inch full-port drain valve on each tank lets you drain the oil completely and quickly when it is time for a change. A drain pipe holder is attached to the inside of the door for easy access. Two nickel-plated fry baskets come standard. The front panel and door are stainless steel, while the sides and back are galvanized steel. Four 5-inch casters let you roll the fryer out for cleaning behind the line. Adjustable stainless steel legs are available as an optional accessory (Part # 119-0020(4)) if you prefer a fixed installation.

The IGF-40/40 NG measures 20.9 inches wide by 34.5 inches deep by 39.75 inches high at the body, with 5-inch casters bringing the total height to approximately 45.75 inches. The unit requires a 3/4 inch NPT gas connection. Net weight is 192 pounds. Shipping weight is 205 pounds.
