Vulcan 2VK85DF Gas Fryer - (2) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Constructed of stainless steel, the Vulcan 2VK85DF PowerFry5® floor model fryer is durable enough to endure frequent use in demanding kitchens. Great for cooking larger quantities of wings, chicken tenders, and french fries, it features two vats with 85- to 90-pound capacities. The twin fry baskets' handles are coated in plastic to minimize heat transfer and reduce user burns. To gather sediment before it burns, the cold zone is V-shaped. Built with a FivePass® heat transfer system, heat is evenly dispersed through the oil, enabling quick temperature recovery after dropping cold or frozen items. When the oil gets too hot, the hi-limit shut off stops the gas flow, and for simple movement for cleaning or maintenance, it sits on four 6-inch castersa€”two of which are lockable for static placement.

This unit uses a SoftStart® ignition system that starts with a 90,000-BTU-per-hour rate and slowly preheats to 180,000 BTUs to prolong oil life. To reduce energy consumption during off-peak hours, it can sit at an idle rate of 12,596 BTU. Its temperature control maintains temperatures between 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, has three melt modes to soften solid shortening, two countdown timers, and an auto boil-out mode that simplifies tank cleaning. Overall, this unit measures 42 inches wide by 34 3/8 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches high and operates with natural gas.

The Vulcan 2VK85DF gas fryer operates with the Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system to extend its oil life, enabling reuse without flavor transfer. When draining, its 1 1/4-inch drain valve's interlock system automatically turns off the gas burners, reducing fire hazards. It features a 20 1/2-pound seamless, 18-gauge stainless steel pan with a stainless steel mesh filter screen that covers 270 square inches. It has a 110-pound frying compound capacity and can filter 8 gallons of oil per minute. For simplicity, its one-touch push button facilitates the filter pump controls. When oil is ready to be changed, it can flow through its 6-inch temperature discard hose.
