AVANTCO 177FF518N Tube Floor Fryers - Figure 1

OVERVIEW

A tube fryer has a series of tubes running through the oil near the bottom of the vat. These tubes are welded into the frypot and house gas-fired burners.
The gas fired burners help to evenly heat the oil because the tubes are submerged in the oil. These fryers also have good energy efficiency due to the large heat transfer area.  Any restaurant that serves any fried food should have at least one of these due to the versatility of the unit. The large cold zones allow you to make a wide variety of high- sediment foods.

OIL CAPACITY
40 lb., 50 lb., 100 lb.
FOOD TYPE USED IN THIS TYPE OF FRYER
Fish, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, French fries,
onion rings, and any other breaded foods that
produce a high amount of sediment
ADVANTAGES

  • Large cold zones help extend oil life
  • Versatile and can fry a variety of foods
  • More energy efficient
  • Great for high sediment foods

DISADVANTAGES

  • Tubes make it hard to clean
  • High percentage of oil used

AVANTCO 177FF518N Tube Floor Fryers - Figure 2

OVERVIEW
Open pot fryers do not feature any tubes or burners in the frypot and are heated with a heating element on the outside of the frypot, allowing for15% more frying capacity  than a tube fryer. These fryers are the most user friendly to clean. They take about 30% less time to clean because there are no tubes or burners. This fryer features a “V”  shaped frypot making the cold zones smaller, and the use of oil in this area smaller as well.
The “V” shape is also the reason low sediment foods are recommended.

40 lb., 50 lb.
FOOD TYPE USED IN THIS TYPE OF FRYER
French fries, frozen items, and any other low sediment fried foods
ADVANTAGES

  • Extremely easy to clean, takes 30% less time to clean compared to a tube fryer
  • 15% more frying capacity than a tube fryer
  • Less oil used in cold zone

AVANTCO 177FF518N Tube Floor Fryers - Figure 3

OVERVIEW
The wide flat bottom design reduces the cold zone which decreases oil life but maximizes frying capacity for high output operations. The tube heating elements rapidly brings  the oil up to cooking temperatures. When wet-battered foods are placed into the oil they will sink to the bottom then rise to the top of the surface.
However, the food items will not stick to the surface of the unit. Due to the reduced cold zone of this fryer sediment can burn easily so it is important to filter frequently.

OIL CAPACITY
125 lb., 170 lb.
FOOD TYPE USED IN THIS TYPE OF FRYER
Donuts, funnels cakes, fish, battered chicken, onion rings, tempura, and any foods made of wet batter or dough
ADVANTAGES

  • Great for battered foods
  • Food does not stick and floats freely
  • Flat bottom design maximizes frying capacity for high output
  • Stainless steel drip tray that doubles as a lid

DISADVANTAGES

  • Reduced cold zone
  • Needs frequent filtering
