Vulcan 1VK45DF Gas Fryer - (1) 50 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas
The Vulcan 1VK45DF gas fryer sports one vat capable of holding 50 pounds of oil to produce high volumes of fried chicken, onion rings, and french fries. It utilizes a KleenScreen PLUS? filtration system to remove food debris and particulates, extending the efficiency of each batch of oil. This unit includes two 61/2-inch wide by 131/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high twin baskets, each with a plastic-coated handle to protect hands from extreme heat. This unit can be set to a temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the integrated solid-state digital control that provides three melt modes. To ease use during operation, it has two countdown timers and an auto-boil mode; with its Five Pass&trade ignition, it produces energy-efficient heat transfer, yielding 66 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency.
Overall, the Vulcan 1VK45DF NG gas fryer measures 151/2 inches wide by 301/8 inches deep by 471/8 inches high. For simple cleaning and increased durability, its cabinet and fry tank is constructed of stainless steel. Furthermore, its 11/4-inch full port ball type drain valve ensures efficient dispersal of oil from the 14-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank. For easy placement on level or irregular floors, it's mounted on four 6-inch adjustable casters, two of which can be locked in place to stop the unit from moving while in use.
