Vulcan 2VK65CF Gas Fryer - (2) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane
When powered on, the Vulcan 2VK65CF gas fryer's SoftStart® ignition system starts at 70,000 BTU per hour and gradually increases to 160,000 BTUs; during off-peak hours, it sits in an idle state at 9,604 BTUs. Its FivePass® heat transfer system distributes heat evenly throughout the oil, providing a fast recovery after dropping in cold or frozen foods. For durability, the tank and cabinet are constructed of stainless steel. It's built with two vatsa€”each holds 65 to 70 poundsa€”and has twin fry baskets with plastic-coated handles to decrease heat transfer. The V-shaped cold zone collects sediment and can be cleaned easily with the clean-out rod. This freestanding model measures 42 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high and is mounted on four 6-inch casters, two of which can be locked for stationary or mobile use.
Operators can comfortably use the Vulcan 2VK65CF PowerFry5® fryer because sits at a 36 1/4-inch working height. Its hi-limit shut off stops gas consumption when oil gets too hot to reduce fire risk. For simple operation, its programmable computer controls offer a digital character display, ten menu timers, and offline menu programming, which can be uploaded through a USB. It operates between 200 to 390 degrees and has three melt modes to accommodate solid shortening. Designed with the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system, its stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides and has a filter pan constructed of 18-gauge stainless steel.
