Pitco Solstice SG14RS/FD-FF Free Standing LPG Twin Tank Fryer

The Pitco Solstice SG14RS/FD-FF is a free-standing, twin-tank LPG fryer with integrated filtration, designed for professional kitchens where frying is a core part of the operation. Running on liquefied petroleum gas, it is well suited to sites without a mains natural gas supply, and the twin-tank configuration allows two different products to be fried simultaneously — a practical advantage in kitchens with varied menus.
At the heart of the unit is Pitco's Solstice burner system, which is engineered for strong temperature recovery between loads. In a busy service environment this matters considerably — a fryer that struggles to return to cooking temperature quickly will slow throughput and produce inconsistent results. The Solstice design also reduces flue temperatures compared to conventional burner arrangements, which contributes to a more manageable working environment around the fryer station.
The built-in filtration system is one of the more operationally significant features of this model. Filtering oil routinely extends its usable life, which reduces oil consumption and associated costs over time. It also helps maintain consistent frying quality throughout service, since degraded oil affects both flavour and the crispness of the finished product. Key practical advantages include:
- Twin tanks enabling simultaneous frying of different food types
- Integrated filtration reducing oil costs and extending oil life
- Solstice burner technology supporting rapid recovery between loads
- Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning
- Large drain valve allowing efficient oil drainage when servicing the unit
At 230kg and with an overall footprint of approximately 794mm wide by 873mm deep, this is a substantial piece of equipment that requires careful positioning within the kitchen. A robust, level floor surface and adequate clearance around the unit are prerequisites. Because this model runs on LPG, a suitable gas supply connection and regulator are required, and the installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Appropriate overhead extraction is also necessary, and the ventilation capacity of your canopy should be confirmed before installation. The unit is not suitable for placement in low-headroom or poorly ventilated spaces.
This fryer is best suited to high-volume operations where frying output is consistent and sustained — think busy fish and chip restaurants, pub kitchens, hotel operations, or contract catering sites serving large covers. If your frying volume is more occasional or lower in throughput, a single-tank model would likely serve you better without the additional footprint. For sites with exceptionally high demand or multiple service points, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or larger-capacity fryer is the more appropriate long-term choice.
If you are weighing up whether this model fits your kitchen's output requirements and installation conditions, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this fryer suitable for a high-volume fish and chip restaurant?
The twin-tank configuration and strong recovery performance of the Solstice burner system make this fryer well suited to sustained, high-volume frying operations such as fish and chip restaurants. That said, the right choice depends on your specific throughput requirements, service pattern, and available kitchen space — it is worth discussing your operation in detail before committing to this model.
What are the key installation requirements for this LPG fryer?
The unit requires a suitable LPG supply and must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement in the UK, not optional. You will also need adequate overhead extraction with a canopy sized appropriately for a gas fryer of this output, and the floor must be level and capable of supporting the 230kg installed weight. Sufficient clearance around the unit should be maintained in line with the manufacturer's guidance.
How does the built-in filtration system work in practice?
The filtration system allows operators to filter the cooking oil at regular intervals without removing the oil from the fryer, which is more practical during or between services than manual draining. Regular filtration removes food particles and carbon deposits that accelerate oil degradation, meaning the oil stays in usable condition for longer and frying quality remains more consistent throughout the working day.
