Vulcan 3VK45DF Gas Fryer - (3) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Part of the PowerFry5® series, the Vulcan 3VK45DF freestanding commercial fryer is built to save energy and extend oil life because its integrated FivePass® heat transfer system uniformly distributes heat throughout the oil. This mechanism minimizes cooking times, decreases lag between recoveries, and yields 66 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The SoftStart® ignition system heats oil by outputting 35,000 BTUs per houra€”half the unit's maximum hourly BTU outputa€”to reduce energy usage and prolong oil life. Its idle temperature setting maintains the desired heat by only outputting 4,251 BTUs per hour. Employees can set all three frypots' temperatures between 200 and 390, choose from three melt cycles, initiate two countdown timers, and select to use actual or compensating time. A digital display provides readouts of temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit so staff can monitor the heating process.
By working with the integrated energy-saving processes, the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration collection further extends oil quality. This unit is designed to be used twice a day to maintain clean, good-tasting oil, and its one-touch button simplifies startup. As much as 70 pounds of oil can be stored in its drawn stainless steel filtration pan. While the pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, its stainless steel mesh filter screen filters debris from two sides. Once filtering is complete, the oil-return tube returns it back to the frypots.
For durability, the Vulcan 3VK45DF commercial gas fryer's body, frypots, and fryer baskets are made of rugged, rust- and scratch-resistant stainless steel. While its 47 1/8-inch-tall structure creates a 36 1/4-inch working height, the 46 1/2-inch-wide by 30 1/8-inch-deep base is mounted on four 6-inch casters. Two of these casters include brakes to secure it in place during use.
