Vulcan 1VK45AF PowerFry5 15 - 50 lb. Gas Floor Model Full Pot Fryer with Solid State Controls - 70,000 BTU

If your commercial kitchen needs a gas-fired deep fryer that burns gas efficiently while reducing overhead costs with a filtration system, you should consider getting the Vulcan 1VK45AF PowerFry5™ Fryer which offers 45-50 lbs of oil capacity. Although this fryer is ENERGYSTAR® qualified, it goes above and beyond the qualification being ranked among the most energy-efficient Commercial Deep Fryers they have tested.

Vulcan’s FivePass™ heat transfer system is a game-changer. Unlike other fryers with multiple straight heat exchange tubes each with a burner, Vulcan’s design uses a single large burner connected to heat exchange tubes that bend back and forth providing more surface area to transfer heat to oil more effectively. In effect, this reduces the amount of gas necessary to heat the oil effectively. This fryer has a cooking efficiency of 68% and 78% thermal efficiency, making it much more effective at transferring heat energy from combustion to actual usable cooking heat than other fryers on the market. This efficiency is evident in the fact that this fryer only uses 4,251 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature when idle and thanks to the SoftStart™ ignition system only 35,000 BTU/hr is used to gradually heat the oil at startup which will extend its life.

The cooking temperature is easily adjusted with a simple analog knob behind the door which allows for temperatures from 200° to 390°F. User-selectable fat melt modes and electronic ignition make this fryer easy to use.

With built-in filtration, this fryer further extends the usability of the oil without affecting flavor while reducing downtime. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system features a stainless steel mesh filter to remove particles.
The cabinet and fry tank are made from stainless steel for durability while making it easy to clean. This fryer comes mounted on adjustable 6” casters making it easy to move around while keeping it level. Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a cleanout rod, and tank brush are also included.

A NEMA 5-15P cord and plug is included to connect the fryer to a 120-volt outlet and in total 70,000 BTU/hr of gas input is required.
