Vulcan 3VK45AF Gas Fryer - (3) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Powered by natural gas, the Vulcan 3VK45AF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer can output 210,000 BTUs per hour. To enhance thermal and cooking efficiency, these 50-pound-capacity tanks feature a FivePass® mechanism, uniformly distributing heat throughout the oil. The SoftStart® mechanism quickly warms oil to minimize energy usage by outputting 35,000 BTUs per hour, while the idle temperature mode maintains set temperatures at just 4,251 BTUs per hour. To simplify operation, each fry tank has independent solid-state analog controls located behind the cabinet doors. Staff can set temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and initiate one of the user-selectable fat-melt modes. To keep contents in place as they're fried, each frypot includes twin fryer baskets; their plastic-coated handles enhance user safety by reducing heat transfer.

To further enhance the Vulcan 3VK45AF commercial gas fryer's efficiency, a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration unit is built into the base of the unit on a pull-out drawer. Its seamless, lightweight stainless steel filtration pan boasts a 70-pound capacity; operators can activate a filtration cycle with the push of a button. While its motor and pump circulate 8 gallons of oil per minute, the stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides. Filtered oil can be directed back to the frypots with the oil-return tube.

To establish a comfortable 36 1/4-inch working height, this unit measures 46 1/2 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches tall. Its stainless steel construction is durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily back-of-house use and can simply be wiped clean. When the floor beneath it needs to be cleaned, this unit can be wheeled out of the way with ease because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters; two casters can be locked to keep the unit in place.
