Vulcan 2VK85DF Gas Fryer - (2) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 2VK85DF PowerFry5® fryer uses a FivePass® heat transfer system that evenly spreads heat throughout the oil, enabling fast recovery from cold and frozen foods. It yields 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The two vats each accommodate 85 to 90 pounds of oil for cooking large baskets and include twin fry baskets for simple product loading and unloading. This durable piece's cabinet and tank are constructed of stainless steel, while its V-shaped cold zone gathers sediment to prevent it from burning and affecting flavor. When the oil gets too hot, the hi-limit shut off will stop gas intake, reducing the fire risk. For comfortable use, it sits at a 36 1/4-inch working height.
Designed with the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system, this unit prolongs its oil life while reducing the need for oil top offs. Its 1 1/4-inch drain valve features an interlock switch, automatically turning off the gas burners when draining. Its 20 1/4-pound filter pan is constructed of durable, 18-gauge stainless steel and a 270-square-inch stainless steel mesh screen. This screen filters sediment out of used oil, enabling reuse without flavor transfer. This filtration is activated by a one-touch push button and circulates oil at 8 gallons per minute; for simple cleaning, this model comes with a clean-out rod and tank brush.
Built with the SoftStart® ignition system, this unit starts at 90,000 BTUs per hour and slowly preheats to 180,000 degrees. When not in use, it maintains temperatures with 12,596 BTUs to reduce energy consumption. The temperature controls on this equipment maintain temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and includes an electronic ignition and two countdown timers. It offers three melt modes to liquify solid shortening to a usable consistency and an auto boil-out mode that simplifies cleaning. Overall, it measures 42 inches wide by 34 3/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high and operates with liquid propane.
