Vulcan 3VK65DF Gas Fryer - (3) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 3VK65DF commercial gas fryer is freestanding unit comprised of three 70-pound-capacity vats so staff can fry fish, shrimp, chicken, tofu, dumplings, and vegetables simultaneously at their specific cooking requirements without flavor transfer. Each frypot includes twin fryer baskets to streamline lowering foods into the vat and lifting them from the hot oil. To minimize heat transfer, the baskets' handles are coated with plastic. The vats, baskets, and cabinet are made of durable stainless steel for lasting rust, corrosion, dent, and scratch resistance throughout high-volume back-of-house use. To establish a comfortable 36 1/4-inch working height, this fryer measures 63 inches wide by 30 13/100 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches tall. It's positioned on four 6-inch casters that provide smooth mobility, and two of the casters can be locked for stability during use.
Because this fryer is part of the PowerFry5® series, it features a FivePass® heat transfer system that uniformly distributes heat, yielding 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. Operators can set each frypot's temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the digital solid-state controls, and a digital display provides an accurate temperature readout in Fahrenheit or Celsius. These controls also include three melt modes for cooking solid shortening, two adjustable countdown timers, and an auto boil-out mode to streamline cleaning. Once the controls are set, the SoftStart® ignition system quickly warms oil while outputting only 120,000 BTUs per houra€”half the unit's maximum hourly BTU output. When the frypots reach set temperatures, the idle temperature setting outputs only 14,406 BTUs per hour to maintain the heat.
To promote frequent filtering, a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration unit is built into the Vulcan 3VK65DF freestanding fryer's base on a pull-out drawer for accessibility. Users can initiate a filtration cycle with the push of a button. Its pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, and a stainless steel mesh filter screen filters out particulates and debris from two sides, establishing a filtration area between 270 and 350 square inches. As much as 110 pounds of oil can be held in the seamless stainless steel filter pan. To minimize manual tasks, the drain oil-return tube adds filtered oil back to the frypots once the filtration drawer is closed.
