  • Publication number: 20070107606
    Abstract: A pivot assembly for use in an electric fryer that rotates heating elements out of a frypot, and a pivot housing that prevents the passage of outside contaminants from entering the pivot assembly. The pivot assembly comprises a tube that has mounting position for heating elements, and the elements can be lowered and raised into the frypot. The pivot housing comprises a hood that fits over the pivot assembly and forms a seal around the assembly, preventing the passage of oil therethrough. The tube of the pivot assembly can comprise one or more heating elements, and the heating elements can be lowered or raised independently of one another.

  • Publication number: 20070089732
    Abstract: The gas tube fryer comprises substantially 90° in-shot burners, burner mounting boxes, a one-piece burner mounting bracket, and a bracket housing, all of which are used in conjunction with heat exchanger tubes, heat transfer baffles, a frypot, and a flue in a fryer. The burner mounting boxes are keyed specifically to the face of the burner, preventing substantial movement of the burners and introduction of ambient air into the heat exchange tubes. Each burner is also keyed to the mounting bracket, also preventing substantial movement and providing easy installation and repair. The ninety-degree orientation of the burners facilitates mixing of the combustion gases, and the burner comprises a screen on its face that helps to ensure maximum burner efficiency.
