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

The Vulcan 1VK85AF gas fryer's vat can accommodate 90 pounds of oil for high-volume production of fried chicken, onion rings, and okra. For even heating and cooking, its FivePass® heat transfer system yields 65 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. Its tank measures 19 1/2 inches wide by 18 1/4 inches deep and fits two 8 3/4-inch-wide by 16 3/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high fry baskets with plastic handles that reduce heat transfer. This unit's temperature can be set between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, and to ease operation, users can select their preferred conditions with solid-state analog knob controls that feature user-selectable fat-melt modes. It's powered by liquid propane and outputs 90,000 BTUs; it also conserves energy with its SoftStart® ignition that extends oil life by slowly warming oil using just 35,000 BTUs per hour. With integrated KleenScreen® filtration, this unit maximizes oil life by removing unwanted food debris and other particles.
The Vulcan 1VK85AF gas fryer is uncomplicated to install in the back-line kitchens of dining establishments. To further ease installation and transportation, it sits on four 6-inch adjustable casters for smooth maneuvering on irregular or flat floors; two of the wheels can be locked in place to keep it stable during use. This unit's cabinet and tank are constructed of stainless steel, which reduces corrosion and fortifies its structure through high-volume use. To assist with cleaning, its 1 1/4-inch ball type drain valve eases oil removal, while the tank brush and clean-out rode enable more precise cleaning.
