Vulcan 3VK65DF Gas Fryer - (3) 70 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

So multiple foods with different cooking requirements can be fried simultaneously, the Vulcan 3VK65DF PowerFry5® efficient gas fryer is built with three 70-pound-capacity frypots. Each vat has independent digital solid-state controls that enable operators to set temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, choose from three fat-melt modes, select to cook with actual or compensating time, initiate two countdown timers, and activate an automatic boil-out mode. To keep contents secured as they're lowered, fried, and lifted, all three vats come with twin fryer baskets. Their stainless steel constructions withstand exposure to high heat, while their plastic-coated handles reduce heat transfer for staff safety. Overall, this freestanding stainless steel model measures 63 inches wide by 30 13/100 inches deep by 47 1/4 inches tall and is mounted on four 6-inch castersa€”two of which include locks for stability during use.

This commercial fryer is powered by natural gas and can output 240,000 BTUs per hour across all frypots, or 80,000 BTUs per hour for each individual frypot. To minimize energy consumption, the FivePass® heat transfer system effectively distributes heat throughout oil, resulting in 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The SoftStart® ignition system outputs only 120,000 BTUs while initially heating oil to save energy and quickly warm the shortening. Once the unit reaches the set temperatures, the idle temperature settings maintains heat by outputting only 14,406 BTUs per hour.

To extend oil life, operators can initiate the Vulcan 3VK65DF commercial fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system with the push of a button. Its 1/3-horsepower pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, while the stainless steel mesh screen filter can remove debris from two sides, providing a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. For accessibility, this unit is positioned on a pull-out drawer in the fryer's base. As much as 110 pounds of oil can be drained into the filtration pan, and it's simple to remove for emptying as needed. The oil-return tube can simply add filtered oil back to the frypots once operators push the drawer in.
