Vulcan 3VK85DF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan 3VK85DF PowerFry5? high-efficiency, three-battery fryer measures 63 inches wide by 30¹³?₁₀₀ inches deep by 47¹?₄ inches tall, establishing a comfortable 36¹?₄-inch working height. Each of its 90-pound-capacity frypots include twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to protect staff's hands from burns when lifting cooked product from the vats. Designed to withstand long-term back-of-house use, this unit is made of stainless steel?a durable, dent-, scratch-, and rust-resistant metal that can simply be wiped clean. Because it's positioned on four 6-inch casters, it's simple to reposition for maintenance and cleaning; during use, two of the casters can be locked to secure the unit in place.

For precise control, each frypot has independent solid-state digital controls. Staff can adjust each vat's temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, select from one of three fat-melt modes when using solid shortening, choose to cook with compensating or actual time, and set two countdown timers to reduce the chance of undercooking and scorching. The digital display provides an accurate readout of temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius so operators can ensure the units are set to the correct temperature. Once the controls are set, the SoftStart? ignition system quickly heats oil while outputting 45,000 BTUs per hour?half of the unit's maximum hourly BTU output. The FivePass? heat transfer system effectively distributes heat throughout oil, yielding 65 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency, and the unit only needs 18,894 BTU per hour when idle to maintain 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Vulcan 3VK85DF commercial gas fryer features a KleenScreen PLUS? filtration system on a pull-out drawer base for accessibility. To promote frequent filtration, users can activate a filtration cycle with the push of a button. Its drain interlock switch shuts off the burners as oil is drained to enhance safety, and the ¹?₃-horsepower pump and motor circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute to expedite the filtration process. To establish a filtration area as large as 350 square inches, its stainless steel mesh filter screen pulls debris from two sides. The stainless steel filtration pan can hold 110 pounds of oil and be removed and emptied as needed to streamline cleaning. Once oil is filtered, operators can shut the filtration drawer so the oil-return tube can guide oil back to the tanks.
