Two 45MJ/hr infra-red burners heat a 20 litre open pan to fry up to 31kg an hour, and a large cool zone lets crumbs settle below the burners to keep the oil clean and lasting longer. The burners recover heat fast, so it cooks consistently through busy service.

The infra-red burners are what set the Vee Ray apart. They transfer heat from the burner to the pan more efficiently than a direct flame, which loses energy to the surrounds, so the GT45 heats faster and uses less gas for the same output. The stainless steel pan carries a 10 year limited warranty.

Blue Seal Evolution Series is made by Moffat. The GT45 runs on natural gas or LPG, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection. Like all Moffat gas fryers, it has a gas regulator built in, so a separate regulator is not required and should not be fitted, since an extra regulator becomes a point of failure. The GT45 is supplied set to the gas type you order and includes a conversion kit, so if you order natural gas the LPG conversion kit comes with it for later use if you ever need to switch.

Best for: busy kitchens that want fast recovery, tight temperature control and lower gas use from an efficient infra-red fryer.

What is the infra-red burner system?

Instead of a direct flame under the pan, the Vee Ray uses infra-red burners that radiate heat into the pan. That transfers more of the gas energy into the oil and less into the surrounds, so the GT45 heats faster, recovers quicker between baskets and uses less gas for the same output.

Does the GT45 need a gas fitter?

Yes. It connects to natural gas or LPG through an R ¾″ BSP male fitting, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection.

Does the GT45 need a separate gas regulator?

No, and one should not be fitted. Like all Moffat gas fryers, the GT45 has a gas regulator built in, so it connects straight to the gas supply. Adding a second regulator in the line is unnecessary and becomes a point of failure.

Does the GT45 come with a gas conversion kit?

Yes. The GT45 is supplied set to the gas type you order and includes the conversion kit for the other gas type. So if you order natural gas, the LPG conversion kit comes with it, ready if you ever need to change the fryer over later.

What is the cool zone for?

The open pan has a large cool zone below the burners where crumbs and batter settle away from the heat. That stops them burning and fouling the oil, so the oil stays cleaner and lasts longer, and the pan drains and cleans easily through the 32mm drain valve.
