Frymaster/DEAN 2PRG50T PowerRunner Commercial Gas Fryer – (2) Unit. 50 lb Tube-Type Pot with Thermo-Tube Heat Transfer System w/ Thermatron Controls – 240,000 BTU/HR

Description

The DEAN PowerRunner 2PRG50T is a dual-battery commercial gas fryer system engineered for high-volume restaurant operations requiring dependable frying performance, rapid temperature recovery, and efficient oil management. Featuring two 50 lb frypots with a combined high-output cooking platform, the fryer battery is designed to handle demanding production environments such as quick-service restaurants, institutional kitchens, concessions, and high-capacity foodservice operations. Its Thermo-Tube heat-transfer system increases heat transfer efficiency while reducing heat concentration on the oil, helping extend oil life and improve cooking consistency across extended operating periods.

The fryer battery utilizes a durable stainless steel frypot and cabinet construction paired with a wide cold zone that helps capture sediment away from the cooking area to support cleaner oil and simplified maintenance. Multiple controller optionsincluding Millivolt, Thermatron, Digital Timer, and CM3.5allow operators to configure the system based on production complexity and workflow requirements. The millivolt configuration operates without requiring an electrical connection, making it suitable for facilities seeking simplified installation and reliable operation during variable power conditions.

Designed for flexibility and operational scalability, the 2PRG50T supports optional basket lifts, external oil disposal systems, spreader cabinets, and accessory configurations that allow the fryer battery to adapt to evolving kitchen demands. Its high-capacity dual-frypot configuration delivers strong throughput while maintaining consistent cooking temperatures for a wide variety of fried menu items.
