Vulcan 3VK45AF Gas Fryer - (3) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Comprised of three 50-pound-capacity vats, the Vulcan 3VK45AF PowerFry5® commercial floor fryer can cook large volumes of shrimp, fish, chicken, and potatoes. Each frypot comes with twin fryer baskets that securely contain foods during frying. To reduce heat transfer, the baskets' handles are coated with plastic. Users can set temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the solid-state analog knob controls and initiate one of three melt cycles if using solid shortening. By efficiently distributing heat throughout the oil, the FivePass® heat transfer system reduces cook time, decreases lag time for recovery, and yields 78 percent thermal efficiency and 66 percent cooking efficiency. To reduce the risk of scorching oil, the SoftStart® ignition system heats oil by outputting 35,000 BTUs per hour. The idle temperature mode maintains heat by only outputting 4,251 BTUs per hour to save energy, and to maintain a comfortable working environment, the flue will remain below 500 degrees Fahrenheit at maximum production rate.
The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration unit is built into the bottom of the Vulcan 3VK45AF efficient gas fryer; because it operates with the push of a button, it promotes frequent filtering. This system is designed to be used twice per day, and its motor and pump circulate 8 gallons of oil per minute to expedite the process. Its seamless stainless steel oil pan can hold 70 pounds of oil, while its stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides, establishing a 270-to-350-square-inch filtration area. To minimize time-consuming manual tasks, the oil-return tube adds filtered shortening back to the frypots when the drawer is closed. This 46 1/2-inch-wide by 30 1/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall unit is built to endure high-volume back-of-house use because it's made of scratch-, rust-, and dent-resistant stainless steel. It's positioned on four castersa€”two of which can lock for stabilitya€”so operators can transport the unit for maintenance or cleaning and secure it in place as needed.
