Product Description

The Dukers DCF5-NG is the largest fryer in this natural gas line: a 70 lb oil capacity heated by five tube burners for 150,000 BTU/H combined, in a 21-inch wide floor-standing cabinet. It is aimed at high-volume operations — quick service, stadium and commissary kitchens — where a 40 or 50 lb fryer cannot keep up with sustained demand.

70 lbs of oil for sustained volume

The advantage of a large reservoir shows up over a shift, not on a single drop. More oil means the temperature swing per basket is smaller, so quality stays consistent from the first order to the last, and it means the oil is doing less work per pound of product, which extends the interval between filtering and replacement. Oil is a recurring cost line, so a bigger tank frequently pays for itself on consumption alone.

Five burners and a wider cabinet

Five cast iron tube burners at 30,000 BTU/H each run through the oil to deliver 150,000 BTU/H. The cabinet widens to 21 inches to house the larger tank while keeping the same 32-7/8" depth and 45" height as the DCF3 and DCF4, so it lines up in an existing battery — check that you have the extra 5-1/2 inches of width before ordering.

Fuel and delivery

Configured for natural gas at 4" W.C. with a 3/4" NPT inlet; the propane equivalent is the DCF5-LPG. The millivolt safety control system covers 200°F to 400°F with no power connection. At 220.46 lbs net and 246.92 lbs shipping weight in a 37-5/8" x 23-3/8" x 35-3/8" crate, this is a freight delivery — arrange lift gate access and two people for placement.
