The Frymaster 3FQG30U FilterQuick® 30 gas fryer is designed to provide high-capacity commercial frying performance while significantly reducing oil consumption and improving energy efficiency compared to conventional fryer systems. Featuring three independent open frypots with 30-lb. oil capacity each, the unit helps operators maximize production while minimizing oil usage and operating costs. The standard FQ4000 easyTouch® touchscreen controller simplifies kitchen operations with programmable cooking functions, filtration management, and operational monitoring capabilities designed for busy commercial foodservice environments. Automatic Top Off (ATO) technology continuously maintains proper oil levels to improve frying consistency and reduce manual labor during peak service periods.
Built-in automatic filtration with rear oil flush streamlines oil management and supports extended oil life, while the optional Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) enables real-time oil monitoring to help maintain food quality and operational consistency. Infrared burners, a deep cold zone, and center-mounted RTD temperature sensing technology contribute to fast heat recovery, precise temperature control, and cleaner frying conditions. Constructed with stainless steel frypots, cabinet sides, and doors, the 3FQG30U is engineered for long-term commercial durability and is well suited for quick-service restaurants, chain operations, institutional kitchens, and other high-volume foodservice applications requiring efficient multi-batch frying performance with reduced operational downtime.
