Vulcan 3VK65CF Gas Fryer - (3) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas
Powered by natural gas, the Vulcan 3VK65CF PowerFry5® commercial gas fryer can output 240,000 BTUs per hour. To minimize energy usage, it's built with the FivePass® heat transfer system evenly disperses heat throughout the oil, yielding 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. Operators can set each of the three frypot's between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, program 10 menu timers, choose from three melt modes, and select compensating time or actual time for cooking. The SoftStart® ignition system outputs 40,000 BTUs per hour while quickly heating oil after the temperature is set. When the frypot reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature setting maintains heat by outputting just 4,802 BTUs per hour.
Staff can work comfortably at this 63-inch-wide by 30 1/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall fryer because it creates a 36 1/4-inch working height. Users can lower and lift breaded contents with the included fryer baskets, which feature plastic-coated handles that reduce heat transfer for user safety. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is built into the unit's base on an accessible pull-out drawer. Intended for use twice a day, its filtration cycle can be activated with the push of a button. Its 1/3-horsepower motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, while the stainless steel mesh screen filters from two sides. Its oil-return tube can guide filtered oil back into the frypots once the filter drawer is closed. For lasting durability and smooth transport, this unit is made of stainless steel and mounted on four 6-inch casters; two casters can be locked to secure the unit in place.
