Description
The FryMAX VP122 is a freestanding natural gas deep fryer that delivers high-volume frying through a single 22 L open-pot tank rated at 104 MJ/h. Its V-shaped pan with a built-in cold zone lets sediment settle below the burners to extend oil life, while a prompt-response thermostat covers 93°C to 204°C with fast temperature recovery between baskets. Stainless steel front and sides and a 232°C hi-limit make it a durable, safety-conscious choice for busy commercial kitchens.
Why operators choose the VP122
-
104 MJ/h gas output — high heat input drives fast recovery, so output stays steady through back-to-back frying.
-
22 L open-pot tank — ample oil volume handles continuous service runs across chips, schnitzels and crumbed lines.
-
V-pan cold zone — crumbs and sediment settle away from the burners, protecting oil quality and reducing change frequency.
-
93–204°C thermostat — a prompt-response control with fast recovery holds set temperature for consistent results.
-
232°C hi-limit — an over-temperature cut-out adds a safety margin during peak service.
-
Millivolt control with standby pilot — reliable, easy lighting and operation without an external power supply.
-
Open-pot stainless build — smooth surfaces and a 1/4" full-port drain valve make daily cleaning and oil disposal straightforward.
-
Supplied with two baskets — split frying lets you run two product lines side by side from one tank.

Venue suitability
With a 22 L tank and 104 MJ/h burner, the VP122 suits high-throughput venues that fry continuously — pubs, fish-and-chip shops, fast-food outlets, clubs and busy cafes. The cold-zone V-pan and fast recovery make it strong for crumbed and battered lines where oil quality and consistent temperature matter. As a single-tank model it is less suited to operations that need to fry several allergen-separated products at once; those kitchens may prefer a multi-pan or twin-tank layout.

Frequently asked questions
What gas type does the FryMAX VP122 use?
The VP122 runs on natural gas via a 1/2" NPT rear connection and a millivolt control valve with a standby pilot. It must be installed and commissioned by a licensed gas fitter to local codes.
How much oil does the VP122 hold?
The open-pot tank holds 22 litres of oil. The V-pan cold zone lets sediment settle below the burners, which helps preserve oil quality during long service periods.
What temperatures can the VP122 reach?
The thermostat adjusts from 93°C to 204°C, with a 232°C high-limit cut-out for safety. Prompt-response control gives fast temperature recovery between frying batches.
How often should I change the oil in this fryer?
It depends on volume and product, but the cold-zone design slows degradation. See our guide on how often deep-fryer oil should be changed for practical schedules.
How do I clean and maintain the VP122?
The open-pot stainless design and 1/4" full-port drain valve make draining and wipe-downs simple. Our fryer oil-management guide covers filtration and lifespan best practice.
What are the dimensions and weight?
The VP122 measures 400 × 784 × 1178 mm (W×D×H) and weighs 80 kg net. Packed, it ships at 470 × 880 × 1170 mm, so confirm doorway and clearance access before delivery.
What warranty is included?
The VP122 carries 2 years parts and labour, plus an additional 2 years parts only when you register the product — up to 4 years parts cover in total.
