Dean Adds 100-Pound Capacity Fryer To Its High-Efficiency Gas Decathlon Team

June 10th, 2008

SHREVEPORT, La. – Dean®’s Decathlon team of high-efficiency tube-style gas fryers (HD Series) has a new captain: the 100-pound capacity HD65 model. Loaded with features that extend the useful life of the fryer’s oil and protect food quality, design improvements to the HD Series have boosted its operating efficiency over 35 percent.

The Dean Decathlon HD fryers are designed specifically to fry some of the most popular fried foods on today’s menus, including bone-in chicken, other wet breaded products and foods requiring a larger frying area. Innovative design features help make the most of energy dollars and to maximize profits. For example, a large cold zone extends oil life by trapping sediment away from the cooking area, where it can’t degrade the quality of the oil – or the foods being cooked in the oil. The HD’s forward sloped bottom and large drain valve allow quick and complete emptying of frypot oil and sediment, making them easy to filter regularly.  This also extends oil life and protects cooked food quality.

The HD Series’ energy efficiency comes in part from Dean’s exclusive Thermo-Tube design.  The transfer of heat from the in-oil heating tubes is controlled with flow tube diffusers to allow efficient transfer without overshooting the temperature, important to protecting oil life.  The efficient transfer of heat to the oil means less heat goes unused up the vent. The new and improved burner and blower systems improve gas flow and heat transfer make today’s HD fryers are over 35 percent more energy efficient than previous models.

“With Dean HD fryers, more of your hard-earned energy dollars go into the fryer and the fried food, and less goes unused up the vent or into the kitchen,” said Brenda Fried, vice president of marketing for Frymaster, an Enodis company. “That means cost savings to plough back into your bottom line, better-quality fried foods and satisfied customers.”

The Decathlon HD fryers also put innovative technology to work to maximize fryer performance, making them the Most Valuable Players of high-efficiency fryers. Dean’s Thermatron solid state temperature control system ensures pinpoint temperature control, accurate to within plus or minus one degree. As a result, oil heats quickly on start-up, and oil temperature recovers quickly when frozen product is added for cooking. This instant and well controlled response to changes in cooking loads maintains oil quality and safeguards the quality of the foods being cooked. It also lowers operators’ gas consumption per pound of food cooked, and reduces idle costs.

The high-production Dean HD fryers are built to last. Their simple design and durable materials – diffusers are stainless steel, burners are cast iron, and the front, door and sides are stainless steel – keep maintenance to a minimum.
“When you buy a Dean HD fryer, you get a high-production workhorse that is built to last,” said Fried. “That’s a smart investment for any team.”
From the 50-pound (25-liter) HD50 to the 100-pound (50-liter) HD65 introduced last year, there is now a Dean HD fryer for every size foodservice operation:

  • The HD50G: Oil capacity is 50-pounds (25 liters) oil capacity, 95,000 Btu/hr. input; 14” x 14” (35 x 35 cm) frying area; 4-inch cooking depth.

The HD65 also comes with Dean’s Compu-Fry cooking computer that features nine programmable cooking intervals per product key, preprogrammed cooking curves and other specifications. The cooking computer or solid state controls are available as options.
