The Dean SCFD260G from Frymaster’s Decathlon D60 series is a dual frypot, high-capacity gas fryer system designed for commercial kitchens that demand maximum productivity, efficiency, and consistent results. Each frypot features a 75 lb oil capacity and a large 18" x 18" cooking area, allowing operators to handle high-volume production and diverse menu requirements with ease. The integrated filtration system simplifies oil management, extending oil life and reducing operating costs while improving workflow efficiency.

Equipped with Frymaster’s Thermo-Tube heat transfer system, the fryer delivers enhanced heat distribution through increased surface area, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced energy consumption. The wide cold zone design captures sediment below the cooking area, preserving oil quality and ensuring consistent food output. With precise RTD temperature control, melt cycle functionality, and durable stainless steel construction, the SCFD260G is built for reliability in demanding environments. Its dual-frypot configuration significantly increases output while maintaining efficient use of space, making it ideal for high-volume foodservice operations.
