Giles Enterprises GBF-35 (71562 / 71563) 16-1/4 Inch Electric Floor Fryer, 14 Inch Vat, 35 lb Oil Capacity, 18 kW, Built-In Filtration
Giles GBF-35 (71562 / 71563) — 16-1/4" Electric Floor Fryer, 35 lb
The Giles GBF-35 is a compact, multi-purpose electric floor fryer just 16-1/4 inches wide, built around a 14-inch square fry vat that uses only 35 lbs of shortening. The smaller oil volume lowers operating costs, which Giles calls perfect for french fries: each load cooks 5 lbs of fries or 7 lbs of 8-way cut chicken. Rapid temperature recovery from 18 kW (or a 10 kW option, single- or 3-phase) helps the fryer handle unexpected rushes. An intuitive computer controller with 50 presets and dual timers adds Cool Mode, Force-Filter, Low Oil, Boil-Out, password protection, and a multi-language display, and the on-board filtration system runs a 5-minute filter cycle. It is built in Montgomery, Alabama; the 18 kW version is item 71562 (208V) or 71563 (240V).
Key Features of the GBF-35
A small footprint and a low oil volume keep costs down without giving up the controls and filtration of larger Giles fryers.
35 lb Oil Volume
The smaller oil charge lowers operating cost per fill while still cooking 5 lbs of fries per load.
16-1/4" Footprint
A 14" square vat in a unit only 16-1/4" wide fits into tight cook lines and small kitchens.
18 kW or 10 kW
Choose 18 kW 3-phase for maximum recovery, or 10 kW in single- or 3-phase where power is limited.
Computer Controller
50 programmable presets, dual timers, Cool Mode, Force-Filter, Low Oil, Boil-Out, password protection, and multi-language display.
5-Minute Filtration
The on-board system drains, cleans, and filters in one step using paper media or an optional stainless steel screen.
Safety Features
Over-temperature shutdown, drain valve safety interlocks, and a low-oil detection system protect staff and equipment.
Electrical note: The 18 kW GBF-35 is 3-phase and draws 51 A at 208V (item 71562) or 44 A at 240V (item 71563). 10 kW versions are 72009 (208V 3-ph, 28 A), 72010 (208V 1-ph, 50 A), 72011 (240V 3-ph, 24 A), and 72012 (240V 1-ph, 43 A). Service cords are not included.
Ideal Applications
A 35 lb vat in a 16-1/4" frame suits operations that fry smaller batches often.
