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

The Vulcan 1VK65D gas fryer features a 19 1/2-inch wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank that holds 70 pounds of oil for cooking chicken, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and other fried favorites. To ease submersion or removal of this food, it has two 9 1/2-inch-wide by 13 1/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high baskets, each of which features a plastic handle to protect operators from burns. This unit is operated with solid-state digital controls that feature three melt cycles and two countdown timers, and these controls enable employees to set the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. To ease use and promote effortless multitasking, it also features an automatic boil-out feature.

While it outputs 80,000 BTUs overall, this fryer conserves energy using SoftStart® ignition, which produces 35,000 BTUs an hour to slowly bring the oil to temperature at startup. Additionally, its integrated FivePass® heat transfer system evenly distributes heat for 78 percent thermal efficiency and 68 percent cooking efficiency. It's powered through natural gas, which gives the unit quick start up times and allows it to hold a more consistent temperature. While idle, it maintains set temperatures at a 4,802 BTU hourly rate.

The Vulcan 1VK65D gas fryer measures 21 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high and can be maneuvered using four 6-inch casters, two swivel locking and two non-locking. The cabinet and fry tank are constructed of stainless steel, a metal that's durable and corrosion-resistant for use in grease-laden settings. After back-to-back use, it has a 1 1/4-inch full-port ball drain, tank brush, and a clean-out rod to ease sanitation and cleaning.
