Vulcan 4VK85DF Gas Fryer - (4) 90 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Featured in the PowerFry5? series, the Vulcan 4VK85DF natural gas fryer uses a ThreePass? heat system that efficiently heats oil while conserving energy. Its electronic ignition system is imbued with SoftStart? technology to warm frying compound gradually at startup, cutting BTU usage in half. Operators can adjust the temperature of each vat within a 200- to 390-degree-Fahrenhiet range using the solid-state digital controls, and to minimize lag time as new product is introduced to the oil, it quickly recovers heat. To minimize the risk of overheating the fryer, this unit's hi-limit shutoff system disables the unit when if it detects temperatures over 465 degrees Fahrenheit. Users can cook with actual or compensating time to account for possible temperature fluctuations. During slow periods, this unit goes into idle mode, reducing energy usage to 6,298 BTU an hour. To accommodate different types of shortening, it boasts three melt modes.

To maintain high-quality production and extend oil life, this fryer's KleenScreen PLUS? filtration system captures particulates 40 to 60 times smaller than paper filters. Its stainless steel mesh screen catches sediments from two sides, while its button-activated motor and pump effectively circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute. As much as 110 pounds of polluted compound can be gathered in the stainless steel filter pan, and when full, users can empty it using the 6-foot, high-temperature discard hose. Prior to draining, users should engage the drain valve interlock switch to disconnect the gas channel from the burners.

For long-term durability in busy kitchens, the Vulcan 4VK85DF natural gas fryer's base cabinet and four fry tanks are constructed of stainless steel. These tanks can hold as much as 90 pounds of oil each and come with twin fry baskets to contain product during frying; to protect hands from burns, these baskets have plastic-coated handles. To establish a comfortable workspace and streamline operation, this unit establishes a 36¹?₄-inch working height. After service, staff can clean the fryer using the 1¹?₄-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, tank brush, and clean-out rod. To ease transportation for cleaning or maintenance, it's mounted on four adjustable 6-inch casters, two of which have locks for stability during operation. Overall, this unit measures 84 inches wide by 34³?₈ inches deep by 47¹?₄ inches high.
