Vulcan 4VK65AF Gas Fryer - (4) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Featured in the PowerFry5® collection, the Vulcan 4VK65AF fryer's four fry tanks and base cabinets are constructed of sturdy stainless steel. Each vat can hold 70 pounds of oil and establishes a 36 1/4-inch working height for comfortable access to the frying area. To protect users from burns, the eight fry basketsa€”two per frypota€”have plastic-coated handles. After hours, users can clear the tank through the 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve and use the tank brush and clean-out rod to clean the interior as needed. An automatic boil-out mode further streamlines cleaning by removing boil-out solution. So staff can transport the unit as needed, it's mounted on four swivel casters. Overall, it measures 84 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high.
For even heating and quick thermal recovery, this fryer's FivePass® heating system generates set temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures can be set and adjusted using the independent solid-state analog controls located behind the cabinet door. To dissolve solid compounds, users can select from multiple melt modes, and to conserve energy during downtime, this unit drops to 4,802 BTU.
The Vulcan 4VK65AF gas fryer features an electronic ignition system configured with SoftStart® technology; this system heats oil at startup to minimize scorching and save energy. For high-temperature protection it has a hi-limit shut-off system. A "V"-shaped cold zone catches loose sediments to further reduce burn risk. To preserve oil taste and color, the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system features a stainless steel mesh screen that filters two sides; it also features a motor and pump that circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute with the press of a button. The stainless steel filter pan collects as much as 110 pounds of waste, which can be discarded through the 6-foot, high-temperature hose. For enhanced safety, users should activate the drain valve interlock switch before draining to disconnect the gas.
