The Frymaster FPGL130C OCF30G is a high-efficiency commercial gas fryer engineered to reduce oil usage, lower operating costs, and improve kitchen productivity without sacrificing frying performance. Designed with Frymaster’s oil-conserving open-pot architecture, the fryer uses a compact 30 lb frypot that delivers cooking performance comparable to larger traditional fryers while using approximately 40% less oil and 10% less energy. Its favorable fresh-to-used oil ratio helps extend oil life, reduce waste, and maintain consistent food quality throughout continuous production.
The FPGL130C features durable infrared burners that provide efficient heat transfer and rapid recovery performance for high-demand foodservice operations. A built-in filtration system with rear oil flush encourages frequent filtering to preserve oil quality while improving workflow efficiency and operator safety. The advanced 3000 controller supports operational consistency through programmable cook settings, automatic load compensation, and fryer performance monitoring, helping operators maintain food quality and optimize oil management.
Constructed with stainless steel frypot, cabinet sides, and doors, the FPGL130C is built for demanding commercial environments while remaining easy to clean and maintain. Independent frypot construction simplifies servicing and long-term maintenance, while integrated safety systems, electronic ignition, and deep cold zone design improve overall operational reliability. The FPGL130C is ideal for quick-service restaurants, chain operations, institutional kitchens, and high-volume foodservice environments seeking lower oil costs, improved efficiency, and dependable frying performance.
