Vulcan 3VK85DF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

The Vulcan 3VK85DF commercial gas fryer is built with three frypots that can each hold 90 pounds of shortening. Because each vat has independent controls, staff can independently set each frypots' temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, choose from three melt modes, program two countdown timers, or initiate cooking with actual or compensating time to accommodate specific cooking requirements. Operators can quickly glance at the digital displaya€”which provides temperature readouts in Fahrenheit or Celsiusa€”to ensure they're set to the correct temperature. As part of the PowerFry5® series, its FivePass® heat transfer system effectively guides heat throughout oil to enhance thermal and cooking efficiency, and its SoftStart® ignition system saves energy by outputting 135,000 BTUs per hour to quickly heat oil upon startup. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature mode only outputs 18,894 BTUs per hour to maintain the heat.

For enhanced user comfort, this 63-inch-wide 30 13/100-inch-deep by 47 1/4-inch-tall unit establishes a 36 1/4-inch cooking height. Each frypot includes two fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to minimize heat transfer and reduce the risk of users' hands getting burned. Its durable stainless steel body resists denting, scratching, rusting, and corroding to prolong its service life throughout high-volume kitchen use. When it needs to be moved for cleaning or maintenance, operators can simply push it to position because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, and two of its casters can be locked for stability when the unit is in use.

To expedite maintenance routines, users can quickly initiate a filtration cycle with the Vulcan 3VK85DF high-efficiency gas fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system by pushing a button. Its drain interlock switch automatically turns off the burners as oil is drained, and the pump and motor circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute. The stainless steel mesh filter screen removes debris from both sides and can establish a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. As much as 110 pounds of oil can be drained into the stainless steel filtration pan, which is positioned on a pull-out drawer for easy access. The oil-return tube can direct filtered oil back to the tanks once the filter drawer is closed.
