Vulcan 2VK85AF Gas Fryer - (2) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Designed as a floor model, the Vulcan 2VK85DF gas fryer sits at a 36 1/4-inch working height for user comfort. It flaunts two tanks, each capable of holding 85 to 90 pounds of oil, and twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to minimize heat transfer. For durability, it's constructed of stainless steel. The included tank brush scrubs underneath the burners as the clean-out rod cleans sediment out of its V-shaped cold zone to simplify cleaning.
The Vulcan 2VK85DF PowerFry5® fryer uses the FivePass® heat transfer system to evenly distribute heat throughout the oil for fast temperature recovery. It yields 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. During startup, the SoftStart® ignition system operates at 90,000 BTU per hour and slowly increases to 180,000 BTUs to extend oil life. When not in use, it can sit idle at 12,595 BTUs per hour. If the oil gets too hot, operators can use the hi-limit shut off to turn off the gas burners for reduced fire risks. To ease mobility, it's placed on four 6-inch casters, two of which are lockable for stationary use.
This unit can be used with solid-state analog controls; its knob control can be found behind the cabinet door. These controls regulate temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and offer user-selectable fat melt molds for melting solid shortening. Its 1 1/4-inch drain valve sports an interlock switch that turns off the gas burners automatically when draining oil. It comes with a seamless 18-gauge filter pan and a stainless steel mesh screen that filters from two sides. This floor model measures 42 inches wide by 34 3/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high and operates with liquid propane.
