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

The Vulcan 1VK45CF PowerFry5® commercial floor-model fryer is a 50-pound-capacity unit powered by LP gas, and it can output 70,000 BTUs per hour. While its FivePass® thermal transfer system evenly distributes heat to minimize lag times associated with recovering lost heat, the SoftStart® feature only outputs 35,000 BTUs per hour to minimize energy consumption and gradually heat oil. With the programmable computer controls, users can adjust temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, upload 10 menu timers, select from three melt cycles, and set 10 countdown timers. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature setting maintains this temperature by only outputting 4,251 BTUs per hour.

The 14-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank includes twin fryer baskets to simplify lowering foods into a vat and retrieving them from hot oil. Their plastic handles minimize heat transfer to enhance user safety. For quality preservation, a V-shaped cold zone built beneath the burners collects debris and sediment and prevents them from burning. To further extend the oil's life, this fryer is built with the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system, which can be activated with the push of a button. This system features a stainless steel mesh filter screen that filters particulates from two sides, and its 8-gallon-per-minute flow rate expedites the filtration process. Its 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan can hold 70 pounds of fry compound, and it's safe to sanitize in a dishmachine after use.

Great for kitchens with limited space, the Vulcan 1VK45CF high-efficiency gas fryer measures 15 1/2 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches tall and has a 36 1/4-inch working height. Because it's positioned on four 6-inch castersa€”two of which include locksa€”it's simple to transport for cleaning or maintenance. Its durable stainless steel cabinet and frypot resist corrosion to prolong their service life through repeated back-of-house use.
