The LTI/70S-M170-1 is a 48 cm gas-fired flat griddle for high-volume surface cooking in commercial kitchens. It operates on LPG or natural gas at 4 kW thermal output. Designed for burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering vans where simultaneous multi-product preparation is required.
Commercial Application
This unit serves as a primary cooking surface in operations handling burgers, eggs, bacon, pancakes, and flatbreads. The flat griddle plate allows multiple items to cook side-by-side without cross-contamination. Operators position it within reach of service windows or plating stations to reduce movement during peak periods.
During breakfast service, one operator manages eggs, bacon, and hash browns across separate temperature zones. For lunch, the same surface handles burger patties, onions, and pressed sandwiches. The 48 cm width accommodates 6–8 burger patties or 12 eggs simultaneously, matching typical fast-casual output requirements.
Key Operational Advantages
- 4 kW gas burner heats cast iron griddle plate to operational temperature in under 10 minutes
- Operates on LPG cylinder supply or piped natural gas with regulator adjustment at 21–25 mbar
- Stainless steel body and controls withstand grease splatter and daily wet cleaning cycles
- Gas cock with integrated safety valve cuts fuel supply if flame extinguishes during operation
- 48 cm cooking width handles 6 burger patties (100 g each) or 12 eggs at once
- Cast iron plate retains heat during high-volume cooking without temperature drop between batches

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface cast iron or stainless steel?
A: The griddle plate is cast iron, machined flat and pre-seasoned. Cast iron retains heat better than steel during high-volume cooking. The body and frame are stainless steel.
Q: Can this griddle operate on both LPG and natural gas?
A: Yes. The unit ships configured for LPG at 28–30 mbar. Conversion to natural gas requires jet replacement and regulator adjustment to 20 mbar. Conversion kit available on request.
Q: How is grease managed during cooking?
A: The cast iron plate slopes 2° toward the front grease trough. Liquid fat drains into a removable stainless steel drip tray positioned below the front edge. Operators empty the tray between service periods.
Q: Is this unit suitable for installation in a food truck?
A: Yes, provided the vehicle has commercial LPG supply and ventilation compliant with mobile catering regulations. The unit weighs 55 kg and requires secure bench mounting to prevent movement during transit.
Q: Can I control different temperature zones on the griddle?
A: No. This model has a single burner assembly that heats the entire plate uniformly. Temperature is regulated by the front gas control valve. For multi-zone cooking, position items requiring lower heat toward the plate edges.
