Vulcan 1VK85CF Gas Fryer - (1) 90 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Designed to enhance energy efficiency, the Vulcan 1VK85CF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer features the FivePass® heat transfer system, which uniformly distributes heat throughout the oil to reduce lag times during recovery. This mechanism yields 78 percent thermal efficiency and 65 percent cooking efficiency. When the oil is initially heated, it uses the SoftStart® ignition system, which causes the unit to output 35,000 BTUs per hour rather than 90,000 BTUs. To retain the set temperature, its idle temperature setting outputs 6,298 BTUs per hour. Because this unit is built with programmable computer controls, operators can set the unit's temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, manage oil temperature with the digital display, upload 10 menu timers, and choose from three melt modes.

To prolong oil life, this fryer is built with the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system that operates with the press of a button. Its drain valve interlock switch automatically shuts off the fryer's burners when the drain valve is opened, and for quick filtration, the motor and pump filter 8 gallons of oil per minute. In total, 110 pounds of oil can be drained into the filter pan. To minimize hands-on tasks, it's built with a hands-free oil-return line connection.

The Vulcan 1VK85CF freestanding gas fryer boasts a durable stainless steel construction to match other back-of-house equipment and endure high-volume use. For enhanced user comfort, its 21-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall structure establishes a 36 1/4-inch working height. Operators can lift and lower the included twin baskets into and from the 19 1/2-inch-wide by 18 1/4-inch-deep vat, while their plastic-coated handles minimize heat transfer for user safety. So it can be wheeled out of the way for cleaning or maintenance, this fryer is mounted on four 6-inch casters for smooth mobilitya€” two of the casters can be locked in place for stabilization.
