Prepline ENFF400L 50 lb Liquid Propane Commercial Floor Fryer, 120,000 BTU, 4 Tube Burners, Twin Baskets

SKUENFF400L BrandPrepline

The Prepline ENFF400L Gas Floor Fryer

The Prepline ENFF400L is a 50 pound liquid propane floor fryer rated at 120,000 BTU, sized for restaurants, wing shops, food trucks with floor space, and concession kitchens that fry through every service. The 50 pound oil capacity turns out basket after basket of fries, wings, and tenders, while four tube burners at 30,000 BTU apiece bring the oil back to temperature fast after each frozen load drops. Recovery speed is the number that actually decides how many baskets an hour a fryer produces, and that is where the tube burner layout earns its place.

4 Tube Burners That Heat from Inside the Oil

The burners run through the middle of the tank as heat tubes, transferring flame heat directly into the surrounding oil instead of warming the tank from below. When a basket of frozen fries crashes the temperature, the tubes pull it back before the next basket is loaded, so the third and fourth baskets fry as crisp as the first. A millivolt thermostat holds the setting between 200°F and 400°F without needing any electrical hookup at all, which also means the fryer keeps working through a power outage.

A Cold Zone That Stretches Oil Life

Below the heat tubes, the tank widens into a large cold zone where crumbs and batter flakes sink out of the frying action. Debris that keeps cycling through hot oil burns, darkens the oil, and puts yesterday's flavor on today's fish; a proper cold zone delays that by days. When the oil is finally spent, a full port drain valve dumps the tank fast, the included drain pipe directs it into a disposal container, and the fully peened tank interior wipes clean without snagging scrub pads on rough welds.

Stainless Front with Twin Baskets Included

The front and door are stainless steel where splatter and wipe downs land, with galvanized steel on the sides and back. Two nickel plated baskets hang on the included basket hanger plate so par-cooked product drains over the tank instead of dripping across the floor. Four casters, two with brakes, roll the 152 pound fryer out for the weekly line cleaning, and gas connects through a 3/4 inch inlet.

    The Prepline ENFF400L Gas Floor Fryer

    About Gas Fryers

    Commercial gas fryers are essential in most professional kitchens. They heat quickly, recover fast between batches, and usually cost less to run than electric models. Choose countertop or floor models based on your menu and volume. For a small cafe, a compact countertop fryer may be all you need. High-volume restaurants should stick with floor models or industrial gas fryers that can handle nonstop use. Check if your kitchen uses natural gas or propane before you order.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Gas countertop fryers: Compact units that sit on a prep counter. Good for smaller operations or as a supplemental fryer station.
    • Gas floor fryers: Full size units with higher oil capacity and output. Standard in high-volume restaurant kitchens.
    • Commercial propane deep fryers: Run on propane instead of natural gas. Common in food trucks, outdoor catering, and locations without a natural gas line.
    • Small commercial gas fryers: Compact countertop units for lower volume operations or tight kitchen spaces.
    • Double vat fryers: Two separate vats allow you to fry different items simultaneously without flavor transfer.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Oil capacity: Measured in pounds. Countertop fryers hold 15 to 30 pounds. Floor models range from 40 to 80 pounds or more. Choose a size that matches your volume.
    • BTU output: Higher BTU means faster heat recovery. This matters in high-volume kitchens where the fryer runs nonstop during service.
    • Gas type: Most fryers use natural gas. If you need a commercial gas deep fryer that runs on propane, check that LP conversion is available before you order.
    • Number of vats: Single vat fryers are fine for simple menus. Double vats let you fry different items at once without cross-contamination.
    • Filtration system: Some fryers have built-in oil filtration. This extends oil life and cuts operating costs.
    • Controls: Manual controls are simple and reliable. Digital controls let you program cook times for consistency across staff.
    • Installation: Gas fryers need a licensed installer, proper ventilation, and a commercial hood. Check your gas line size before you order.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What size commercial gas fryer do I need for my restaurant?

    It depends on your menu and volume. Small gas fryers and countertop units work for low volume or as a backup. If frying is a main part of your menu, go with a floor model or industrial gas fryer. Plan for 1 to 1.5 pounds of oil capacity for every pound of food you fry per hour. If frying is central to your kitchen, size up to avoid bottlenecks.

    What is the difference between a countertop and floor gas fryer?

    Countertop fryers are compact, hold less oil, and fit in tight spaces or low-volume kitchens. Floor fryers are larger, hold more oil, and are built for nonstop, high-volume frying. If your fryer runs all service, choose a floor model for better output and faster recovery.

    How many pounds of oil does a commercial gas fryer hold?

    Countertop fryers hold 15 to 30 pounds of oil. Standard floor models hold 40 to 50 pounds. High-capacity floor fryers can hold 80 pounds or more. More oil keeps temperatures stable during heavy use and cuts recovery time.
