Giles GBF-50-VH (71901 / 71902) — Ventless Electric Fryer, 50 lb

The Giles GBF-50-VH combines the compact GBF-50 electric fryer with Giles' integrated ventless hood, so it can generally be operated in locations where conventional ventilation hoods are not an option because of restrictions or cost. A 14-inch square fry vat holds 50 lbs of shortening, and its deep cool zone minimizes crumb carbonization, which is ideal for fresh breaded products. Each load cooks 12 lbs of 8-way cut chicken or 5 lbs of fries. The 3-stage recirculating air cleaning system removes grease-laden vapors and uses an activated charcoal filter to help control odor; Giles lists it to UL-KNKG and states compliance with ANSI/UL-197 and ANSI/UL-710B. A fully self-contained Ansul R-102 wet chemical fire suppression system is built in. The unit is 20-3/8 inches wide and is made in Montgomery, Alabama, as item 71901 (208V) or 71902 (240V) in the 18 kW, 3-phase version.

Why It Performs

Key Features of the GBF-50-VH

A complete frying station with its own hood, filtration, and fire suppression in about 5.5 sq ft of floor space.

Ventless Recirculating Hood

A 3-stage system removes grease-laden vapors and an activated charcoal filter helps control odor, with no outside ducting.

Ansul R-102 Suppression

Built-in wet chemical system with piping, nozzles, Automan release, fusible links, and suppressant tank.

50 lb Vat, Deep Cool Zone

The 14" square vat holds 50 lbs of oil; crumbs settle below the elements to reduce carbonization.

Computer Controller

50 presets, Cool Mode, Force Filter, Low Oil, Boil-Out, safety alarms, instructional prompts, password security, multi-language display.

Paper-Free Filtration

A 5-minute on-board filter cycle uses a stainless steel screen, eliminating the need for disposable filter paper.

LED Lighting & Stability

Under-hood LED lighting, a wide-stance cabinet for stability, and 5" casters for portability.

Before you order: Giles accepts ventless fryer orders only after the purchaser completes and Giles approves the GFSE Hood Approval Letter (HAL), confirming local authority approvals and site requirements. Ansul field set-up, charging, and commissioning must be done by an authorized Ansul distributor at the customer's expense and is not included. Service cords are not included.
