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

To minimize the risk of flavor transfer, accommodate products' specific frying requirements, and fry multiple products at once, the Vulcan 3VK85AF PowerFry5® high-efficiency gas fryer is built with three 90-pound-capacity frypots featuring independent analog knob controls. Staff can set each vat's temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and choose from various fat-melt modes. To save energy, it uses the FivePass® heat transfer system, which guides heat throughout oil, and the SoftStart® ignition system that outputs 135,000 BTUs per hour to quickly heat oil. Once the set temperatures are reached, the idle temperature mode maintains heat by outputting only 18,894 BTUs per hour.

The frypots include twin fryer baskets that keep foods contained as they're lowered in the vats, fried, and lifted. To reduce the risk of heat-transfer-related burns, the fryer baskets' handles are coated with plastic. For additional user comfort, this 63-inch-wide by 30 13/100-inch-deep by 47 1/4-inch-tall unit lends a 36 1/4-inch working height. Its stainless steel body and vats resist rust, corrosion, dents, and scratches throughout high-volume use and are simple to wipe clean. To move the unit short distances when cleaning or maintenance is required, it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, two of which can be locked to secure the unit in place.

The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is positioned on a pull-out drawer in the base of the Vulcan 3VK85AF commercial fryer to enhance accessibility for removing spent oil. This system is comprised of a removable, 110-pound-capacity stainless steel filtration pan, a drain interlock valve that shuts off the gas burners as oil drains, and a 1/3-horsepower motor and pump that circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute. With the push of a button, the unit will filter oil through the stainless steel mesh screen, which provides a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. Once oil is filtered, the oil-return tube can direct it back to the tanks to save time and manual labor.
