Vulcan 3VK45CF Gas Fryer - (3) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Because the Vulcan 3VK45CF PowerFry5® gas fryer is built with three 50-pound-capacity frypots, it's great for cooking large amounts of breaded foods simultaneously without transferring flavors. All three vats come with twin fryer baskets that keep chicken, shrimp, fish, potatoes, and dumplings contained as they cook. To reduce heat transfer, their handles are coated with plastic. By using the independent computer controls for each frypot, staff can adjust the temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit; once set, a digital display provides a readout of the vat's temperature so users can gauge the heating process. Employees can also initiate fat-melt modes, choose to cook with compensating or actual time, and upload common menu items to program 10 menu timers for streamlined frying.
Once the temperature is set, the SoftStart® ignition system outputs 35,000 BTUs per hour to quickly warm the oil while conserving energy. For enhanced thermal and cooking efficiency, the FivePass® heat transfer system effectively guides heat throughout the oil, resulting in quick cooking and recovery times. Once it reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature mode retains heat at just 4,251 BTUs per hour. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system built into the unit's base promotes frequent oil filtration because it operates with the push of a button. Designed to be used twice a day, this mechanism's pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute; the stainless steel mesh filter screen collects debris from two sides. Its seamless stainless steel filter pan can hold 70 pounds of oil, and filtered oil can be directed back to the frypots with the oil-return tube.
To match other back-of-house equipment and provide long-term durability, the Vulcan 3VK45CF high-efficiency gas fryer is made of rust-, dent-, and scratch-resistant stainless steel. This 46 1/2-inch-wide by 30 1/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall unit is positioned on four 6-inch casters that roll smoothly. Two of the casters can be locked to stabilize the unit in place during maintenance and operation, and for enhanced staff comfort, it establishes a 36 1/4-inch working height.
