Vulcan 3VK65AF Gas Fryer - (3) 70 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas
For frying large volumes of tofu, chicken, shrimp, dumplings, potatoes, and mozzarella sticks, the Vulcan 3VK65AF commercial gas fryer is built with three 70-pound-capacity vats. Each vat has independent solid-state analog controls that enable operators to set temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and choose from fat-melting modes for foods' specific frying requirements. As part of the PowerFry5? series, it features a FivePass? heat transfer mechanism that yields 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency to decrease cooking and recovery times. To save energy, the SoftStart? system quickly heats oil while only outputting 40,000 BTUs per hour?half the unit's maximum BTU output per hour. The idle temperature mode maintains heat by outputting 4,802 BTUs per hour.
The Vulcan 3VK65AF high-efficiency fryer's cabinet, frypots, and included fryer baskets are made of durable, rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel capable of withstanding high-volume back-of-house use. To enhance employee comfort, its 63-inch-wide by 301?8-inch-deep by 471?8-inch-tall structure establishes a comfortable 361?4-inch working height. For simple transport when repositioning is required, its four 6-inch casters provide smooth mobility; two of the casters can be locked to stabilize the unit during frying or maintenance.
The KleenScreen PLUS? filtration system is built into the unit's base on a pull-out drawer for accessibility. Designed to filter oil twice a day, this unit operates automatically with the push of a button. As the pump and motor circulate oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate, the stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides, establishing a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. Its durable, seamless, and lightweight stainless steel filtration pan can hold 110 pounds of oil, and when the filter drawer pan is closed, the oil-return tube guides filtered oil back to the frypots.
