Vulcan 4VK45DF Gas Fryer - (4) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 4VK45DF LP gas fryer features an electronic ignition system imbued with SoftStart® technology; this system heats oil gradually at startup to save energy and reduce chances of overheating. For high-temperature protection, it has a hi-limit shut-off system; meanwhile, a "V"-shaped cold zone catches loose sediments to further minimize burning risk. To preserve the oil's taste and color, the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system traps fine particulates. While its stainless steel mesh screen provides filtration from two sides, the motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute at the touch of a button. The stainless steel filter pan can collect as much as 70 pounds of polluted compound, which can be disposed through the 6-foot, high-temperature discard hose. Users should activate the drain valve interlock switch to disconnect the gas before draining.
To ensure foods are cooked thoroughly with minimal heat lag, this fryer has a 200-to-390-degree-Fahrenheit temperature range generated by a FivePass® heating system. Users can monitor fluctuations through the digital thermostat, which offers readouts in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Staff can use the two countdown timers to account for compensating time, and for restaurants with solid shortening, this unit has three melt modes. During idle periods it drops to 4,251 BTUs to reduce operating costs without shutting down the fryer.
Part of the PowerFry5® collection, the Vulcan 4VK45DF fryer boasts four fry tanks and a base cabinet, all of which are constructed of sturdy stainless steel. These fry tanks can hold as much as 50 pounds of frying compound each and boasts a 36 1/4-inch working height for straightforward, comfortable access to the cooking area. Eight fryer baskets effectively contain breaded product during frying, and to reduce heat transfer as users handle the baskets, they feature 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 scrub all contaminated parts. For efficient cleaning, staff can run the boil-out solution through the tank and remove it with the automatic boil-out mode. The unit's mounted on four 6-inch swivel casters so staff can transport it as needed; two of these casters have locks that can be engaged to hold the fryer in place. Overall, it measures 62 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high.
