The Omcan 48638 Gas Floor Fryer
The Omcan CE-CN-F5-LP is a 5-burner tube-fired floor model gas fryer rated at 150,000 BTU on liquid propane, built for restaurants and food trucks that fry all day. The 75-80 lb (36-42 L) oil capacity handles everything from chicken wings and french fries to fish and onion rings in volume. Each of the 5 tube burners delivers 30,000 BTU independently, so the oil recovers temperature fast after you drop a cold batch. For a busy lunch rush where fryer tickets stack up every 3 to 4 minutes, that recovery speed keeps your cook times consistent and your food quality even from the first order to the hundredth.
Large Cold Zone and High-Limit Safety at 450°F
The tube-fired burner design creates a natural cold zone at the bottom of the tank where crumbs and debris settle away from the heat source. That cold zone extends your oil life significantly compared to open-pot fryers where loose particles sit in the hottest part of the tank and carbonize. You can go longer between oil changes, which saves money and reduces downtime. A built-in high-limit thermostat at 450°F automatically cuts off gas flow if the oil temperature exceeds the safe range, protecting both your staff and your investment.
The thermostat dial gives you a 200°F to 400°F working range, covering everything from low-temperature par-frying to high-heat searing. Twin baskets with plastic-coated handles let you fry two different items simultaneously or pull half a batch while the other half finishes. The 1-1/4" full port drain valve empties the tank quickly for oil filtering or changes. Pressure-blasted stainless steel construction provides a smooth finish that resists grease buildup and cleans easily. Four adjustable stainless steel legs let you level the unit on any floor surface. The propane gas connection uses a 1/2" or 3/4" NPT fitting at the rear. Gas type is factory-set and cannot be converted in the field, so select liquid propane at time of purchase.
