Giles GBF-80/80/80G (GBF-80GX3, 71988 / 71989) — 61-5/16" 3-Well Gas Fryer Battery
The Giles GBF-80/80/80G, shown on Giles' banked-fryer page as the GBF-80GX3, lines up three 18-inch square gas fry vats in one 61-5/16-inch battery. Each vat holds 80 lbs of shortening and is fired at 80,000 BTU through Giles' patented heat exchanger (U.S. Patent 10,928,140), which cooks evenly with rapid recovery and significantly lower flue stack temperatures. Each vat cooks 26 lbs of 8-way cut chicken without baskets, about 78 lbs per round across the battery, or 5 lbs of fries per vat. Every vat has Giles' computer controller with 50 presets, Cool Mode, Force-Filter, Low Oil, Boil-Out, password protection, and a multi-language display, and an on-board filtration system with a 1/2 hp pump services all three vats. Banked units add optional oil top-off and bulk or waste oil connections. It is built in Montgomery, Alabama, as item 71988 (natural gas) or 71989 (LP gas).
