Vulcan 3VK45CF Gas Fryer - (3) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

To maximize throughput of shrimp, chicken, dumplings, mozzarella sticks, and fries, the Vulcan 3VK45CF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer is built with three 50-pound-capacity frypots. Each vat comes with twin fryer baskets that contain breaded foods during frying, while their plastic-coated handles lend a secure grip and protect against heat transfer. For quick heating and reduced lag times during recovery, this unit features a FivePass® heat transfer system that yields 66 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The SoftStart® ignition system heats oil by outputting 35,000 BTUs per hour, aiding in saving energy and extending the oil life. Once the desired temperature is reached, the idle temperature mode only outputs 4,251 BTUS per hour to maintain the heat, further enhancing energy efficiency.

To streamline operation, each fryer has corresponding computer controls comprised of temperature adjustment from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, three melt modes, 10 menu timers, options to cook with compensating time or actual time, and a digital display; menu items can be uploaded onto the unit with a USB interface. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system positioned on a pull-out drawer in the fryer's base can be activated with a push of a button to promote frequent oil filtration. Its stainless steel filtration pan can hold 70 pounds of oil, while its stainless steel mesh filter screen filters particulate from two sides, establishing a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. To quicken the filtration process, its 1/3-horsepower pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, and the oil-return tube guides filtered shortening back to the frypots once the filter drawer is closed.

Staff can comfortably work at this Vulcan 3VK45CF high-efficiency commercial fryer because its 46 1/2-inch-wide by 30 1/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall structure establishes a 36 1/4-inch working height. To endure high-volume use, its stainless steel construction resists rusting, scratching, and denting; it's also simple to wipe clean to maintain a sanitary workstation. Because it's mounted on four smooth-rolling casters, it can be repositioned for cleaning or maintenance, and during use, two of its casters can be locked to secure it in place.
