Vulcan 4VK65DF Gas Fryer - (4) 70 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas
The Vulcan 4VK65DF floor model gas fryer is a four-battery unit powered by natural gas and featuring an integrated KleenScreen Plus? filtration system. Each vat can hold 65 to 70 pounds of oil, and to extend oil life, it filtrates the frying compound at 8 gallons per minute. Its stainless steel mesh filter screens from two sides to cover 270 and 350 square inches, and once the oil is emptied through its 11/4-inch drain valve, the 18-gauge filter pan can hold 110 pounds. To clean the exterior, this unit includes a tank brush and clean-out rod.
Overall, this unit measures 84 inches wide by 301/8 inches deep by 471/4 inches high and is mounted on 6-inch casters, easing maneuvering on smooth or irregular floors alike. Its 191/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep fry tank is made of stainless steel for a durable and corrosion-resistant design. It comes with metal-constructed fry baskets (2 per frypot) that feature plastic-coated handles to reduce heat transfer to palms.
To cook high volumes of breaded meats or vegetables, the Vulcan 4VK65DF fryer unit upholds temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit; for precise temperature control, it's operated with solid-state digital controls. If it exceeds its temperature limit, it has a hi-limit shutoff to reduce fire risks. It produces 320,000 BTUs total, but to conserve energy, its SoftStart? ignition heats the system at just half that rate. Meanwhile, its FivePass? heat transfer yields 78 percent thermal efficiency and 68 percent cooking efficiency.
