Vulcan 1VK65AF Gas Fryer - (1) 70 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane
The Vulcan 1VK65AF gas fryer can hold up to 70 pounds of oil and features a KleenScreen® filtration system to extend the oil life over time. This system is push-button activated, and its motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute. To establish a filter area of 270 square inches, it features a stainless steel mesh screen that filters from two sides. This unit can be set to a specific temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the solid-state analog controls. For use with solid shortening, these controls include user-selectable fat-melt modes. It boasts a SoftStart® ignition system that slowly warms oil to prevent scorching, while the FivePass® heat system evenly distributes heat to oil to yield 78 percent thermal efficiency and 68 percent cooking efficiency.
Overall, the Vulcan 1VK65AF gas fryer measures 21 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high. This heavy-duty unit is made of stainless steel and boasts a 19 1/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank that resists corrosion and residue left from grease and oil. To streamline cleaning after operation, its 1 1/4-inch full port ball type drain valve helps hasten oil removal, while the included tank brush and clean-out rod enable precise cleaning. For efficient transportation and mobility on any floor surfaces, it sits on a set of four 6-inch adjustable casters. Once it reaches an ideal location, two of its wheels can be locked to ensure stability during operation.
