Vulcan 1VK85AF Gas Fryer - (1) 90 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Great for compact kitchens producing a high output of fried chicken, shrimp, fish, or vegetables, the Vulcan 1VK85AF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer measures 21 inches wide by 34 3/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches tall and boasts a 90-pound oil capacity. While its 36 1/4-inch working height enhances employee comfort, the twin fryer baskets feature plastic-coated handles to promote user safety. The baskets contain food as its submerged into the vat and removed from the oil to streamline frying. When this stainless steel unit needs to be repositioned, it's simple to move with its four 6-inch castersa€”two of which include locks for stabilization during operation.
This fryer is built with the FivePass® heat transfer system, which uniformly distributes heat throughout as much as 90 pounds of cooking oil, yielding 65 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. Operators can set oil temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the solid-state analog knob control located behind the cabinet's door. To make use of solid shortening, users can also choose from various fat-melt modes. This natural-gas-powered unit features a SoftStart® ignition system, which gradually increases the oil's temperature to reduce the risk of scorching; this mechanism also causes the unit to output 45,000 BTUs per hour rather than 90,000 BTUs per hour to conserve energy. Once it reaches the desired temperature, its idle temperature setting only outputs 6,298 BTUs per hour.
To prolong oil life, the Vulcan 1VK85AF freestanding gas fryer includes a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system. Users can simply press a button to activate the motor and pump to remove debris from the oil, improving taste and quality. When the drain valve is opened, the drain valve interlock switch automatically turns off the fryer's burners. Its filter pan can support 110 pounds of oil, and the unit can circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute to expedite filtration. The drain and fryer tank can be cleaned with the included clean-out rod and tank brush.
