Product Overview
The Waldorf FN8120G is a 450mm single pan gas fryer from Moffat — the same machine as the Blue Seal GT45 in Waldorf's Australian livery, and Australia's best selling single tank gas fryer. Built from all 304 grade stainless steel with 2 x 45 MJ/hr patented infrared burners, 20 litres of oil capacity and a 31 kg per hour production rate, the FN8120G is the benchmark mid-range gas fryer for Australian commercial kitchens. Infrared burners transfer heat directly into the oil rather than heating surrounding air, reducing heat lost up the flue and delivering faster recovery times between loads. The fryer is designed to accept the Waldorf Filtamax oil filtration system which rolls in underneath, connects directly and rolls back out for storage under the fryer — no separate storage space required. No gas regulator required. Supplied for natural gas or LPG at the same price.
Best for: Restaurants, cafes and takeaways that want Australia's most proven 450mm single pan gas fryer with the option to add the Waldorf Filtamax integrated filtration system.

Why infrared burners?
The FN8120G uses patented infrared burners that emit radiant heat transferring directly into the oil rather than heating the surrounding air. A greater proportion of the gas energy goes into frying rather than being lost up the flue — resulting in faster heat-up, better temperature recovery between batches and lower gas consumption over a service period compared to open flame burners.
