Pitco G14S/FD-FFF Solstice Triple Tank Gas Filtration Fryer

The Pitco G14S/FD-FFF is a free-standing, triple-tank natural gas fryer built around Pitco's Solstice burner system. The three independent fry tanks allow operators to cook different products simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours, while the integrated filtration system manages oil quality continuously rather than requiring manual intervention during service. This is a substantial piece of equipment — stainless steel throughout, built to withstand sustained heavy use in demanding kitchen environments.

The Solstice burner design is the defining feature of this fryer's performance. It delivers strong temperature recovery between loads, which is critical in high-throughput operations where consecutive batches are dropped without pause. Quick recovery means oil temperature stabilises before the next cook cycle, which reduces oil absorption into the food and helps produce a consistently crisp result. The burner configuration also keeps flue temperatures lower than conventional tube fryers, which is a meaningful consideration in kitchens where heat management and staff comfort matter during long service periods.

The built-in filtration system extends oil life by removing food particles and carbonised material that accelerate oil degradation. Over time this translates directly into lower oil consumption and reduced running costs — a practical benefit in any operation that runs the fryer heavily each day. Practical operational advantages include:

• Three independent tanks allowing simultaneous cooking of different products
• Integrated filtration reducing oil turnover and daily running costs
• Rapid temperature recovery supporting back-to-back frying through peak service
• Large drain valve for efficient oil changes with minimal downtime
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning

At 312kg and spanning just under 1.2 metres in width, this is a significant installation. It requires a dedicated natural gas supply with appropriate pressure and flow rate, adequate overhead extraction, and a floor capable of bearing the loaded weight. Access for servicing and filtration maintenance should be factored into the kitchen layout at the planning stage. This fryer is designed for permanent installation rather than flexible positioning, so placement decisions are worth getting right from the outset.

The G14S/FD-FFF is best suited to high-volume operations — busy fish and chip restaurants, large pub kitchens, contract catering units, and quick-service sites where frying is central to the menu and throughput is consistently high. If your frying volume is more moderate, a single or twin-tank model from the same range may represent better value and a more manageable footprint. Equally, if your operation is expanding and you anticipate needing further capacity, it is worth discussing whether the layout can accommodate additional units alongside this one.

If you'd like to talk through whether this configuration is the right fit for your kitchen — including gas supply requirements or extraction considerations — the team is happy to work through that with you before you commit.
