Blue Seal GT60 Vee Ray Single Pan Gas Fryer

The Blue Seal GT60 is a floor-standing single pan gas fryer built around Blue Seal's patented Vee Ray infrared burner system. Rather than using conventional tube burners submerged in the oil, the Vee Ray design heats through radiant panels positioned below the pan. This reduces the surface area of exposed heat directly in contact with the oil — a distinction that has measurable consequences for oil life and frying consistency over the course of a busy service.

In practice, the GT60 is designed for operations where frying forms a significant part of the menu and the fryer is in near-continuous use during peak periods. The open pan design and large oil capacity support sustained throughput without the recovery delays that can disrupt service on smaller or lower-output units. The infrared burner arrangement also tends to produce less carbonisation at the base of the pan compared to tube-style burners, which means oil quality holds up better between changes and deep cleaning is required less frequently.

Key operational features worth noting:

• Millivolt gas valve and piezo ignition — no electrical supply required
• Flame failure protection fitted as standard
• Large drain valve for efficient oil changes and pan management
• Lift-out pan components to simplify cleaning
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG — specify at point of order

Installation is straightforward by the standards of high-output gas cooking equipment. The unit requires no electrical connection for operation, sits on front legs with rear castors for ease of repositioning, and connects to a standard commercial gas supply. Adequate overhead extraction and appropriate clearance from combustible surfaces are required, as with any gas appliance. Gas connection must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The GT60 is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, fish and chip operations, and catering environments where frying demand is consistently high. As a single pan unit, kitchens running very high simultaneous throughput across multiple fried product lines may benefit from a twin pan configuration or an additional fryer alongside it. For sites with more modest frying volumes, a smaller model in the range may be a closer match to actual demand and running costs.
