Vulcan 3VK85CF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas
To streamline operating the Vulcan 3VK85CF PowerFry5? commercial natural gas fryer's frypots, each vat is equipped with independent computer controls. This allows staff to set temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, program 10 menu timers, cook with actual or compensating time, and activate one of three melt modes. To ensure the units are programmed to the correct settings, a digital display provides an accurate readout in Fahrenheit or Celsius. This unit's SoftStart? ignition system only outputs 135,000 BTUs per hour while quickly heating oil, while its FivePass? heat transfer system yields 78 percent thermal efficiency and 65 percent cooking efficiency. Once the unit reaches the desired heat, its ideal temperature setting retains temperatures by outputting only 18,894 BTUs per hour.
Capable of surviving high-volume use, this 63-inch-wide by 3013?100-inch-deep by 471?4-inch-tall unit is made of heavy-duty rust- and dent-resistant stainless steel. It's positioned on four 6-inch casters that provide smooth mobility for short distances, and two of the casters are built with locks to enhance stabilization during use. For user comfort, it provides a 361?4-inch cooking height, and the six included fryer baskets' handles are coated with plastic to minimize heat transfer.
The Vulcan 3VK85CF high-efficiency commercial fryer's KleenScreen PLUS? filtration system can be activated twice per day with the push of a button. Located on a pull-out drawer in the unit's base, it includes a 110-pound-capacity stainless steel filtration pan that can be removed and emptied when desired. For user safety, the drain interlock valve turns off the gas burners when oil is draining. While its motor and pump circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute, the stainless steel mesh filter screen establishes a filtration area between 270 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit by filtering from two sides. Once oil is filtered, the oil-return tube can direct it back to the frypots, minimizing time-consuming manual labor.
