Vulcan 1VK65DF Gas Fryer - (1) 70 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Because the Vulcan 1VK65DF gas fryer has an integrated KleenScreen® filtration system, it maintains optimal oil conditions and reduces upkeep costs. It features one 19 1/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank that holds 70 pounds of oil, and because this unit comes with two 9 1/4-inch-wide by 13 1/4-inch deep fry baskets, it eases the process of submerging or removing chicken, okra, onion rings, and other breaded favorites. These baskets feature plastic-coated handles, which reduces the risk of operator injury caused by contact with heated metals. It maintains a set temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and operates with solid-state digital controls. Additionally, it features three possible melt cycles to keep heating elements from overheating through extended use.
Overall, this fryer unit outputs 80,000 BTUs, though it boasts an electronic SoftStart® ignition and FivePass® heat transfer system, both of which help conserve energy and maintain oil life. This heat transfer system produces 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. For additional energy preservation, during downtime, it can maintain idle temperatures while producing just 4,802 BTUs an hour. It operates using liquid propane, which heats more quickly than natural gas alternatives.
The Vulcan 1VK65DF gas fryer measures 21 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high and sits on four 6-inch casters that ease maneuvering on back-line kitchen floors. To keep the unit stable during use, two of its casters are built with locking mechanisms. It's stainless steel construction resists corrosiona€”ideal for frequent use in high-intensity cooking environments. While this unit is great in heavy-grease settings, to ease cleaning processes it includes a 1 1/4-inch full-port ball type drain valve, tank brush, and a clean-out rod.
