Vulcan 1VK45CF Gas Fryer - (1) 50 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

To streamline operation, the Vulcan 1VK45CF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer is equipped with programmable computer controls. Employees can adjust temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, upload 10 menu timers directly on the unit or via a USB software, and choose from three melt cycles. Its 14-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep frypot accommodates 50 pounds of oil, and because it's built with the FivePass® heat transfer system, heat is evenly distributed to expedite cooking and reduce recovery times. To minimize the risk of scorching oil, its SoftStart® ignition system causes the unit to output 35,000 BTUs per hour so oil is gradually heated. The idle temperature setting maintains desired temperatures while only outputting 4,251 BTUs per hour to conserve energy.
Staff can simply lower foods into the vat using the twin fryer baskets. To reduce the risk of heat transfer for employee safety, the baskets' handles are coated in plastic. During frying, sediment can settle in the V-shaped cold zone beneath the burners. Because this area is cooler than the top section of the frypot, debris is less likely to burn, which could impact the oil's taste. This fryer features the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system, which uses a stainless steel mesh filter screen to filter out particles from two sides, further prolonging oil's life. Operators can activate a filtration cycle with the push of a button, and the pump and motor's 8-gallon-per-minute flow rate expedites the filtration process. The 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan can hold 70 pounds of fry compound, and for thorough sanitization after use, it can be run through a dishmachine cycle.
The Vulcan 1VK45CF freestanding commercial fryer measures 15 1/2 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches tall to save space in compact kitchens. While its 36 1/4-inch working height enhances employee comfort, its four 6-inch casters simplify transport. Two of the casters can be locked to ensure the unit remains stable during frying. For lasting durability and corrosion resistance, the cabinet and frypot are made of stainless steel. This fryer is built with a 1 1/4-inch full-port ball-type drain valve and comes with a tank brush and clean-out rod to ease cleaning.
