Vulcan 3VK85AF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 3VK85AF PowerFry® energy-efficient gas fryer is equipped with simple-to-use analog knob controls for enhanced precision when setting each frypot's temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and selecting fat-melt modes. Once controls are set, the SoftStart® ignition system quickly heats oil while only outputting 135,000 BTUs per hour, or half of the unit's maximum hourly 270,000 BTU output. The FivePass® heat transfer system effectively guides heat throughout the oil to enhance cooking and thermal efficiency. To retain the achieved temperature, the idle temperature setting outputs only 18,894 BTUs per hour.

All three vats in this commercial fryer accommodate 90 pounds of oil and include twin fryer baskets to streamline high-volume frying. Dumplings, mozzarella sticks, hush puppies, fish, and chicken can be fried independently at specific temperatures to maximize output and reduce the risk of flavor transfer. This 63-inch-wide by 30 13/100-inch-deep by 47 1/4-inch-tall unit provides a comfortable 36 1/4-inch working height. Capable of surviving high-volume use, its vats and cabinet are made of durable rust- and dent-resistant stainless steel. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch castersa€”two of which are equipped with brakesa€”operators can simply maneuver this unit when it needs to be repositioned for cleaning or maintenance.

The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration unit is mounted on a pull-out drawer in the base of the Vulcan 3VK85AF freestanding gas fryer for simple access. It includes a 110-pound-capacity stainless steel filter pan that can be removed and emptied as needed. Operators can initiate a filtration cycle by pushing a button. The pump and motor circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute, while the stainless steel mesh filter screen can remove particulates from two sides, establishing a filtration area between 270 and 350 square inches. To streamline operation, the drain interlock switch automatically turns off the gas burners when the oil begins draining. Once oil is filtered, it can be returned back to the frypots using the oil-return tube, which operates automatically when the filter drawer is closed.
