Vulcan 4VK65DF Gas Fryer - (4) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan 4VK65DF floor model gas fryer is a four-battery unit powered by natural gas and featuring an integrated KleenScreen Plus® filtration system. Each vat can hold 65 to 70 pounds of oil, and to extend oil life, it filtrates the frying compound at 8 gallons per minute. Its stainless steel mesh filter screens from two sides to cover 270 and 350 square inches, and once the oil is emptied through its 1 1/4-inch drain valve, the 18-gauge filter pan can hold 110 pounds. To clean the exterior, this unit includes a tank brush and clean-out rod.
Overall, this unit measures 84 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches high and is mounted on 6-inch casters, easing maneuvering on smooth or irregular floors alike. Its 19 1/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank is made of stainless steel for a durable and corrosion-resistant design. It comes with metal-constructed fry baskets (2 per frypot) that feature plastic-coated handles to reduce heat transfer to palms.
To cook high volumes of breaded meats or vegetables, the Vulcan 4VK65DF fryer unit upholds temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit; for precise temperature control, it's operated with solid-state digital controls. If it exceeds its temperature limit, it has a hi-limit shutoff to reduce fire risks. It produces 320,000 BTUs total, but to conserve energy, its SoftStart® ignition heats the system at just half that rate. Meanwhile, its FivePass® heat transfer yields 78 percent thermal efficiency and 68 percent cooking efficiency.
