Vulcan 2VK45DF Gas Fryer - (2) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

For even heat distribution and quick temperature recovery, the Vulcan 2VK45DF gas fryer features a FivePass® heat transfer system. With its two fry baskets, operators can prepare large quantities of fried chicken, potatoes, or mozzarella sticks in its two stainless steel vats, which can hold 50 pounds of oil each. For user safety, the fry baskets sport plastic-coated handles. To turn on the fryer, operators can use its electronic matchless ignition, activating the SoftStart® system, which operates at 70,000 BTUs at start-up and gradually increases to 140,000 BTUs to extend oil life. When not in use, it maintains its temperature at an idle rate of 8,502 BTUs for energy efficiency. It sits on four 6-inch casters for mobility; two of these casters can be locked in place.
Built with a digital display, temperatures can be set and maintained between 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Solid shortening can be melted to a thin oil consistency with its three melt modes, and this unit has two countdown timersa€”one for each vata€”that alert employees when food is fully cooked. The cold zone is V-shaped, easing cleaning and using less oil. For simplified and thorough cleaning, the automatic boil-out mode cleans the fryer with boiling water and a cleaning solution after the oil has been emptied. The included clean-out rod removes sediment from the fryer's drain, while the tank brush scrubs underneath the burner tubes. Because it features a hi-limit shut off, the fryer stops gas flow if the oil gets too hot, reducing the risk of burnt oil and fires.
The Vulcan PowerFry5® fryer's Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system offers a one-touch push button switch to engage its pump and motor, and the 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve has an interlock switch that turns gas burners off when the oil is draining. Its seamless filter pan is constructed of 18-gauge stainless steel and has a stainless steel mesh filter screen that filters from two sides. This filtration system pumps 8 gallons per minute within its 270-square-inch filter area. For simple lifting, the filter pan weighs 12 1/2 pounds. Overall, this unit measures 31 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches high and sits at a 36 1/4-inch working height for comfortable use.
