MJ45 and MJ45-2 Gas Fryers

Unsurpassed in their versatility, proven
worldwide performance and low
maintenance needs

The MJ45 gas fryers are unsurpassed in their
versatility, controlled performance and low
maintenance needs. Whether it is a single fryer or
a fryer with a built-in filtration system, the MJ45
fryers offer options that accommodate a wide
range of frying needs -- everything from French
fries, pre-breaded products to specialty foods.

The Master Jet burner system distributes heat
evenly around the frypot, generating a large
heat-transfer area for efficient exchange and
quick recover y. They have earned a legendary
reputation for durability and reliability. The MJ
burners require no burner cleaning or air shutter
adjustment. The reliable centerline fast-action
temperature probe assures accurate temperatures
for efficient heat-up, cooking and recovery.

The large cold zone and forward sloping bottom
help collect and remove sediment from the frypot
to safeguard oil quality and support routine
frypot cleaning. The standard front flush feature
deflects oil out from the back of the frypot, mov­ing sediment to the front drain valve for easy and
thorough removal.

Built-in filtration is available with up to six fryers
batteried together into a single system, or with
single MJ45G and E model fryers and a spreader
cabinet. The spreader can include an optional
heat lamp and holding station. The holding sta­tion can use either cafeteria-style or scoop-type
pan. The heat lamp and pans are integrated into
the cabinet, making a complete warming station.
