Vulcan 1VK65D Gas Fryer - (1) 70 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 1VK65D gas fryer is straightforward to install in back-line diners and restaurant kitchens. Overall, it measures 21 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high, and because it sits on four 6-inch casters, it can be smoothly maneuvered when maintenance or cleaning underneath is necessary. Additionally, two of its casters come with locking mechanisms to keep the unit from shifting during use. Its 19 1/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank and cabinet are constructed of stainless steela€”a durable, corrosion-resistant metal ideal for heavy-grease settings. After multiple operation cycles, its integrated 1 1/4-inch full-port ball type drain valve, tank brush, and clean-out rod assist with cleaning and oil removal.

The Vulcan 1VK65D gas fryer vat holds 70 pounds of oil for cooking chicken, fish, and other breaded meats, and because it's part of the PowerFry5® series, this unit conserves energy to lower operation costs. Its FivePass® heat transfer system yields 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency, while its SoftStart® ignition system prolongs oil life by gradually warming oil at 35,000 BTUs per hour. Operators can control this fryer unit with solid-state digital control, which features three melt cycles and two countdown timers. This system lets operators set the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, and for safe use during cooking, the fryer features two 9 1/4-inch-wide by 13 1/4-inch-deep by 6-inch high baskets with plastic handles that protect users from heat transfer.
