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 via radiant panels positioned below the pan. This reduces the area of heat directly in contact with the oil — a distinction that has measurable consequences for oil life and frying consistency across a busy service.

In high-volume kitchens where the fryer runs near-continuously through peak periods, the open pan design and large oil capacity support sustained throughput without the recovery delays that can disrupt service on lower-output units. The infrared burner arrangement also tends to produce less carbonisation at the base of the pan compared to tube-style fryers, meaning oil quality holds up better between changes and the frequency of deep cleaning is reduced.

Key operational features worth noting:

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

Installation is relatively straightforward for a high-output gas fryer. No electrical connection is needed, the unit sits on front legs with rear castors for repositioning, and it connects to a standard commercial gas supply. Adequate overhead extraction and appropriate clearance from combustible surfaces are required, as with any gas appliance. All gas connections must be made by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

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