Vulcan 4VK85DF Gas Fryer - (4) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 4VK85DF gas fryer is a four-battery frying unit with four frypots that accommodate 85 to 90 pounds of oil each. Each tank measures 19 1/2 inches wide by 18 1/4 inches deep and can hold two 8 3/4-inch-wide by 16 3/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high metal fry baskets. Because each basket features plastic-coated handles, they ease the retrieval or insertion of breaded goods while reducing scalding hazards. The cabinet and tank are constructed of stainless steel that enables this unit to withstand aggressive applications to extend its service life; overall, it measures 84 inches wide by 34 3/8 inches deep by 47 1/4 high. Because it's mounted on 6-inch casters, it can be transported smoothly.
Powered by liquid propane, the Vulcan 4VK85DF gas fryer can be set to temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. For manual, yet convenient adjustments, it's operated with solid-state digital controls that feature three user-selectable melt cycles. It outputs 360,000 BTU per hour (90,000 BTUs per vat), but to reduce operation costs, its SoftStart® ignition system quickly heats the oil at a 35,000 BTU hourly rate per frypot. To optimize production, its FivePass® heat transference yields 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. For additional upkeep of product quality, its incorporated KleenScreen Plus® filtration system circulates frying compound at 8 gallons per minute with its 1/3-horsepower motor and pump. A stainless steel mesh screen sifts oil from two sides to purify 270 square inches, and when the oil needs to be removed, users can open the 1 1/4-inch drain valve to empty contents into the 18-gauge filter pan below.
