Vulcan 2VK65DF Gas Fryer - (2) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas
The Vulcan 2VK65DF gas fryer's temperature control includes quick recovery, electronic ignition, three melt modes, two countdown timers, and an auto boil-out mode to ease cleaning. It uses a FivePass® heat transfer system that yields 68 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency for even heat distribution. Durable enough to withstand rigorous kitchen use, the tank and cabinet are constructed of stainless steel. It features two vats that each hold as much as 65 to 70 pounds of oila€”great for frying large quantities of chicken, french fries, and mozzarella sticks. Because it has a V-shaped cold zone, sediment can be collected before it burns. This unit sits at a 36 1/4-inch working height for comfortable use and comes with twin fry baskets with plastic handles that reduce heat transfer from metal to skin.
Designed with a SoftStart® ignition system, the Vulcan 2VK65DF PowerFry5® fryer starts at 70,000 BTU when powered on and slowly increases to 160,000 BTU per hour to conserve energy; during slow or off-peak hours, it maintains heat by outputting 9,604 BTU per hour. Operators can move this unit for maintenance or cleaning since it sits on four 6-inch castersa€”two casters lock for stationary use. Designed with the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system, this unit's 1 1/4-inch, ball-type drain valve includes an interlock switch that automatically turns off the gas burners when draining. It comes with an 18-gauge stainless steel seamless filter and a stainless steel mesh filter, which filters from two sides. For simple cleaning, it includes a clean-out rod and tank brush. Overall, it measures 42 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high.
