Pressure fryers

Standard “4-head” gas pressure fryer, model
PFE-600 with COMPUTRON

™

8000 control.

General Information

Henny Penny first introduced
commercial pressure frying to the
foodservice industry 50 years ago.
Today, Henny Penny pressure fryers
continuer to lead the industry in
performance, durability and
innovation.

Frying under pressure enables
lower cooking temperatures and
faster cooking times. The additional
pressure also helps seal in the food’s
natural juices and reduce absorption
of frying oil into product. Results of
pressure frying generally produce a
product with less fat and more
original flavor than other methods of
frying.

Henny Penny pressure fryers
incorporate several beneficial design
features, including rectangular fry pot,
cold-zone, color-keyed locking
spindle, heavy duty lid hinge, raised
edge on fryer deck and more.

MODEL PFG-600 Gas

The PFG-600 features a high­efficiency burner system with solid­state ignition. Average temperature of
exhaust gases are among the lowest
in the industry. A narrow five square
foot footprint also saves floor space
and cookline frontage.

Built-in filtration system filters and
returns hot oil in less than four
minutes with no extra pumps or pans
and no handling of hot oil.

The COMPUTRON

™

8000 control

provides fully automatic,
programmable operation, as well as
energy-saving, filtration and cook
management features.

The COMPUTRON

™

1000 control
offers programmability in a simple,
easy to use digital control panel with
LED display.
