LUUS FVG-40 400mm Gas V-Pan Fryer 20L | 2-Basket 95MJ/h

The LUUS 400mm Single Pan 2-Basket Commercial Gas Deep Fryer (FVG-40) is a high-output, energy-efficient freestanding commercial fryer engineered specifically for Australian restaurants, fish and chip shops, cafes, pubs, food trucks, and busy fast-food cooklines. Sized at 400 mm Wide x 800 mm Deep x 1100 mm High with a standard 900mm working height, this slimline fryer features a 20-litre oil capacity V-pan tank powered by a high-efficiency 95 MJ/h jet burner. Capable of producing up to 30 kg of crispy fried food per hour, the FVG-40 combines fast temperature recovery and an expansive sediment cold zone with heavy-duty grade 304 stainless steel construction to deliver dependable, high-volume frying performance.

Why operators choose the LUUS FVG-40:

• High-performance 95 MJ/h jet burner — delivers intense, rapid heating and fast thermal recovery between baskets, ensuring oil temperatures rebound swiftly during peak lunch and dinner rushes to eliminate greasy, soggy food.

• Open-pot V-pan design with spacious cool zone — tube-free V-shaped tank profile creates an expansive cold zone beneath the heating zone to trap fallen batter crumbs and sediment, preventing oil carbonisation, burning, and flavour transfer while extending oil life.

• Impressive 30 kg/hr production output — generous 20-litre oil capacity paired with dual commercial wire baskets delivers up to 30 kg of crispy hot chips, battered fish, fried chicken, or calamari per hour.

• Commercial 304 stainless steel fabrication — built with heavy-gauge 1.2mm grade 304 stainless steel across the front hob and splashback, complemented by 0.9mm 304 stainless steel side panels and front access door for exceptional longevity in demanding kitchens.

• Precise thermostatic temperature regulation — millivolt thermostatic dial allows exact oil temperature adjustments between 100°C and 200°C, supported by an automatic safety high-temperature cut-out for comprehensive overheat protection.

• Operator safety & easy ignition — fitted standard with an integrated piezo ignitor, standing pilot light, and Flame Failure Device (FFD) to automatically shut off gas flow if the pilot flame is extinguished.

• Fast, clog-free oil drainage — large-bore 1 ¼” BSP male front drain valve allows hot oil to be filtered or drained into recovery tubs swiftly and safely without clogs.

• Turnkey basket & screen package — supplied complete with two heavy-duty stainless steel fryer baskets, a 0.9mm perforated stainless steel crumb/fish plate, a rear basket hanger bar, and a 35mm rear ventilation spacer.

• Modular footprint with adjustable levelling — compact 400mm cabinet integrates neatly into modular cooklines and prep suites, mounted on heavy-duty front and rear adjustable stainless steel legs to ensure a rigid, level working surface.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Service Notice

This commercial gas cooking appliance must be installed, commissioned, and pressure-tested by an authorised licensed gas fitter in accordance with Australian standard AS/NZS 5601. Please confirm whether you require Natural Gas or LPG connection at the time of purchase so the correct factory injector set and internal pressure regulator are installed. Never ignite the burner when the fryer tank is empty; always ensure the oil level is filled to between the minimum and maximum level marks before lighting the pilot. To clean the tank, allow the oil to cool below 50°C, drain via the 1 ¼” front drain valve through a filter, remove the perforated base plate, and wipe down the unobstructed V-tank with a non-abrasive commercial degreaser and warm water.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial tailgate freight delivery is available across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of a V-pan fryer compared to a tube-fired fryer?

A V-pan fryer features externally heated tank walls that create an unobstructed, smooth internal pan with no internal burner tubes. This makes scrubbing, filtering, and cleaning significantly faster and easier at the end of each shift. Additionally, the bottom V-trough creates an expansive "cold zone" where loose batter, crumbs, and flour settle away from the heat, preventing burnt sediment from spoiling oil taste and cutting ongoing oil replacement costs.

Can the LUUS FVG-40 run on bottled LPG?

Yes. The LUUS FVG-40 is available in dedicated Natural Gas (NG) and Propane / LPG versions, both rated at a powerful 95 MJ/h. When ordering, simply specify which gas type your kitchen or food trailer uses so that the correct factory-calibrated gas injectors and internal gas regulator are supplied.

Are the fryer baskets and crumb screen included?

Yes. The fryer comes fully equipped with two heavy-duty nickel-plated stainless steel wire baskets, a rear basket hanger rail, a 0.9mm perforated stainless steel fish/crumb plate to keep food off the bottom cold zone, and a 35mm rear ventilation spacer.

Does this fryer require an electrical connection?

No. The LUUS FVG-40 operates on a self-generating millivolt thermostatic gas control system with piezo ignition and a standing pilot. It requires no electrical connection or power point, making it completely independent of power outages and suitable for food trucks, pop-up events, and mobile catering setups.

How quickly does the oil recover temperature between frying batches?

Powered by a 95 MJ/h multi-jet burner assembly and insulated combustion chamber, the FVG-40 delivers rapid temperature rebound. When a basket of cold or frozen chips is dropped into the hot oil, the high heat input brings the oil back up to target cooking temperature rapidly, ensuring food fries with a golden, crisp exterior without soaking up excess oil.
