Vulcan 2VK45AF Gas Fryer - (2) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Because the Vulcan 2VK45AF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer is built two 50-pound-capacity frypots, operators can fry different products simultaneously, increasing throughput and eliminating worries of flavor transfer. Each frypot has independent solid-state analog knob controls that facilitate setting the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and selecting from various fat-melting modes. By using energy-efficient FivePass® heat transfer system, this fryer uniformly distributes heat throughout the oil, yielding 66 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The SoftStart® ignition system causes the unit to only output 35,000 BTUs per hour rather than 70,000 BTUs to warm the oil, while the idle temperature mode outputs 4,251 BTUs per hour when maintaining heat.
While these integrated mechanisms protect oil from scorching, the built-in KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system can filter oil with the push of a button to prolong its life. This system is built on a pull-out drawer and features a 70-pound-capacity stainless steel filtration pan. The motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, and the drain interlock switch automatically shuts off the burners as oil drains. To eliminate hands-on tasks, the oil-return tube automatically adds filtered shortening back to the frypots once the filter drawer is closed.
The Vulcan 2VK45AF high-efficiency fryer measures 31 inches wide by 30 13/100 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches tall and establishes a comfortable 36 1/4-inch working height. Both frypots come with twin fryer baskets that contain foods in place when they're submerged into the oil and lifted from the vats. To protect hands from heat transfer, the baskets' handles are coated with plastic. Capable of withstanding high-volume use in fast-paced restaurants, the frypots and cabinet are constructed of durable rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Operators can smoothly reposition this unit as needed because it's built with four 6-inch casters; two casters can be locked in place for stabilization.
