Vulcan 1VK85DF Gas Fryer - (1) 90 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

For consistent, thorough heating, the Vulcan 1VK85DF LP gas fryer has a FivePass® heat system, which yields 78 percent thermal and 65 percent cooking efficiency. The electronic SoftStart® ignition system warms the frying compound gradually to minimize concentrated hot spots, and to protect oil from overheating, it boasts a high-limit shut-off system. A "V"-shaped cold zone catches loose sediment that could otherwise burn and affect oil taste and color. Fast heat recovery minimizes thermal lag as new items are added to the oil; to conserve energy during slow periods, this unit has an idle temperature setting. Users can clean the fryer as needed using the automatic boil-out mode to ease boil-out solution removal.

This unit generates temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and can be monitored in Celsius or Fahrenheit using the digital thermostat. To minimize the risk of overcooking foods, this unit has two countdown timers that can be set to actual or compensating time. Users can choose between three melt modes to effectively dissolve solid oils and shortening without overworking the unit. The Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system extends oil life while enhancing efficiency.

Part of the PowerFry5® series, the Vulcan 1VK85DF floor model fryer has a stainless steel fry tank, which can hold 85 to 95 pounds of frying compound, and a sturdy stainless steel base cabinet. The tank measures 19 1/2 inches wide by 18 1/4 inches deep and has a 36 1/4-inch working height to simplify fryer access. This fryer includes twin fryer baskets, which keep breaded goods contained as they're submerged in the oil then removed from the vat. To protect hands from burns, the basket handles are coated in plastic. Users can drain the oil through the 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, and to further ease cleaning, it includes a tank brush and clean-out rod. For simplified transportation, this 21-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-high unit is mounted on four 6-inch swivel casters, which have two brakes for stability during operation.
