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

To properly fry chicken, fish filets, okra, pickles, and mozzarella sticks, both the Vulcan 2VK45DF freestanding gas fryer's frypots have independent digital solid-state controls. Operators can electronically ignite the units, set temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, initiate one of three melt modes, activate two countdown timers, and start an automatic boil-out mode. To enhance energy efficiency, it's part of the PowerFry5® series, meaning it's built with a FivePass® heat transfer system. This mechanism uniformly guides heat through oil to achieve 78 percent thermal efficiency and 66 percent cooking efficiency. To initially heat oil, this unit uses the SoftStart® ignition system, quickly warming it to reduce the risk of scorching. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, it maintains the heat while saving energy by using just 4,251 BTUs per hour to conserve energy.
Great for medium- and high-volume frying, each of the frypots can hold 50 pounds of oil. To keep breaded foods in place during the frying process, each frypot includes twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles that minimize heat transfer to protect staff's hands from burns. This 31-inch-wide by 30 13/100-inch-deep by 47 1/4-inch-tall fryer's stainless steel construction resists rusting and corroding, while its 6-inch casters simplify transport when repositioning is required.
Employees can press a button to initiate a filtration cycle for the Vulcan 2VK45DF high-efficiency commercial fryer's vats. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is housed at the base of the cabinet on a pull-out drawer for enhanced accessibility; its drain interlock switch automatically turns off the burners when the oil is draining. By circulating oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate, the pump and oil expedite the filtration process. Its stainless steel mesh filter can filter debris from both sides, while the filter pan can hold 70 pounds of oil. To add filtered shortening back into the unit with the oil-return tube, users can simply close the filter drawer.
