Fryers are sold by oil capacity (lb). Match it to peak fries-per-hour and how often you turn the oil:
| 40–50 lb | The standard tube fryer — handles most restaurants; ~65–85 lb of fries/hr. |
| Dual / split-pot | Two smaller pots so you fry allergen-separate or two products at once. |
| 75–100 lb | High-volume QSR / seafood house. |
Fryers hold hot oil, so code cares about the hood, a proper clearance to any open flame beside them, and safe oil disposal. NSF listing covers the fry pot and the drain valve's cleanability.
| Model | Deep | Long | Oil | Weight | Price |

Tick rows to compare side-by-side · specs are from each maker where published; a blank means that field isn’t published.
Estimate peak pounds of product per hour and divide by the fryer's rated output. A 40–50 lb fryer covers most full-service kitchens; go split-pot if you need allergen separation, and 75 lb+ for QSR volume.
Tube (gas) fryers have a larger cold zone that catches crumbs — better for heavily breaded product. Open-pot fryers are easier to clean and suit lightly breaded or clean-frying foods.
