Blue Seal GT46 Vee Ray Twin Pan Gas Fryer

The Blue Seal GT46 is a twin-pan floor-standing gas fryer built around Blue Seal's Vee Ray infrared burner system. Rather than conventional open-flame burners beneath the pan, the infrared system heats the oil from within the pan walls, producing faster heat transfer and more even temperature distribution across the frying zone. The unit is compatible with both natural gas and LPG, so it can be specified for sites without a mains gas supply.

In a busy kitchen, recovery time between drops is one of the most practical measures of a fryer's usefulness. The Vee Ray burner design helps maintain consistent oil temperatures during continuous service, which matters particularly during peak periods when both pans are running simultaneously. The open-pan configuration also makes daily cleaning more straightforward than tube-style alternatives, and the large drain valve allows the oil to be changed efficiently at the end of service.

From an operational standpoint, the GT46 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Millivolt gas valve system with Piezo ignition — no electrical connection required
• Flame failure protection as standard for safe operation in busy environments
• Lift-out elements and enamelled control panel simplify end-of-service cleaning
• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction suited to continuous daily use
• Castors to the rear and fixed legs to the front allow repositioning without fully lifting the unit

Because the GT46 requires no electrical connection for operation, it is particularly practical in kitchens where electrical capacity near the cooking line is limited. A gas supply and appropriate ventilation canopy are the primary installation requirements. The unit's footprint suits a medium to large cooking line, and the twin-pan configuration means it is less practical for smaller kitchens where a single-pan model would make better use of available space.

The GT46 is well suited to pubs, fish and chip operations, hotels, and contract catering kitchens where frying output needs to keep pace with consistent demand across both tanks. Sites with lighter or more occasional frying requirements may find a single-pan model more appropriate, while very high-volume operations running multiple fryers simultaneously may want to consider a heavier-duty alternative.

If you're not certain whether the GT46 is the right match for your service volumes or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit to an order.
