Vulcan 4VK45DF Gas Fryer - (4) 50 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan 4VK45DF natural gas fryer is designed with four stainless steel fry tanks and a stainless steel base cabinet. Each tank can hold 45 to 50 pounds of oil, and to facilitate oil removal after hours, it features a 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve. An included tank brush and clean-out rod further ease cleaning, and for high-volume service, it has eight fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles. So staff can access the vats, this unit creates a 36 1/4-inch working height; so it can be moved out of the way for maintenance, it's mounted on four adjustable 6-inch swivel casters. Overall, this unit measures 62 inches wide by 30 1/8 inches deep by 47 1/8 inches high.

For consistent heating and quick recovery, this fryer boasts a FivePass® heat transfer system. Its electronic, matchless ignition system is imbued with SoftStart® technology, which warms frying compounds at half the regular BTUs to minimize operating costs. The unit's "V"-shaped cold zone further maintains oil taste and color by trapping small sediments that could otherwise burn. During idle periods, it conserves energy by dropping to a 4,251 BTU hourly rate. Its high-limit shut-off system caps the maximum temperature for reduced risk of burns or fires.

Users can monitor temperature fluctuations using the Vulcan 4VK45DF freestanding fryer's digital thermostat, which displays readouts in either Celsius or Fahrenheit; temperatures can be set between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook times can be monitored with the two countdown timers; to dissolve solid frying compound, it also features three melt modes. This fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system effectively catches fine particulates using a stainless steel mesh screen and push-button-activated motor and pumpa€”which circulate frying compound at 8 gallons per minute. As much as 70 pounds of waste can be collected in the stainless steel filter pan and disposed through the 6-foot, high-temperature discard hose. Before draining dirty oil, staff must engage the drain valve interlock switch to disconnect the gas channel. An automatic boil-out mode streamlines boil-out solution removal during cleaning.
