The Frymaster FPLHD265 is a dual large-vat, high-efficiency gas fryer system engineered for high-volume production of bone-in chicken, fresh-breaded products, and other demanding fried menu items. Featuring two 100 lb frypots with deep 5.75" cooking zones, the FPLHD265 is designed to handle heavy product loads while maintaining fast recovery and consistent frying performance. Frymaster’s Thermo-Tube heat-transfer system, controlled flow diffusers, and low flue temperature operation help maximize heat transfer efficiency while reducing idle heat loss, lowering ambient kitchen temperatures, and minimizing gas consumption.
The built-in manual filtration system saves valuable floor space while encouraging frequent oil filtration to extend oil life and maintain product quality. Its 8 GPM filter pump, heat tape wrapped filter lines, wide cold zone, and sloped frypot bottom support efficient oil management and easier cleaning during continuous operation. Equipped with the SMART4U® 3000 controller, programmable cook functions, segmented cooking capability, electronic ignition, and stainless steel construction, the FPLHD265 is designed for high-output commercial kitchens requiring dependable performance, energy efficiency, and operational consistency.
