Vulcan 1VK45CF PowerFry5 15 - 50 lb. Gas Floor Model Full Pot Fryer with Computer Controls - 70,000 BTU

The Vulcan 1VK45CF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a gas-heated model built specifically for energy-efficiency and durability. It has 45-50 lbs of oil capacity and a filtration system to keep running costs low. This fryer isn’t just ENERGYSTAR® qualified, it’s one of the most efficient Commercial Deep Fryers on the market. The Floor Model Gas Fryers in Vulcan’s lineup have been thoroughly developed to meet the needs of a variety of use cases to provide operators with the right piece of equipment for their needs.

Gas-heated deep fryers commonly use multiple burners with heat exchange tubes to evenly transfer heat to oil. Vulcan’s FivePass™ heat transfer technology breaks the mold and uses a single large burner that branches off into two symmetrical heat tubes with multiple bends to transfer as much heat as possible before being expelled from the fryer. With 68% cooking efficiency and 78% thermal efficiency, this fryer is much better than other fryers on the market at harnessing the heat of burning gas. This fryer features a SoftStart™ ignition system that only uses 35,000 BTU/hr of gas at start up to gradually heat oil without breaking it down which will extend its life. When this fryer is idle it only burns 4,251 BTU/hr of gas to maintain the cooking temperature.

To make sure menu items are cooked consistently every time, this fryer has programmable computer controls with a digital character display. Up to 10 menu items can be set up with a simple USB interface making updating the items user-friendly. The name of the menu item and the remaining time is displayed so users can quickly identify the items being fried. The temperature is accurately controlled between 200°F and 390°F for quick recovery and cooking can be done with either compensating time or actual time. The electronic ignition and three melt modes on this fryer make it convenient to use.

The filtration system on this fryer makes sure the frying oil can be used for much longer without a negative effect on the flavor of food fried in it.  A stainless steel mesh filter allows the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system to remove particles to keep oil clean.

The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer is made from stainless steel for durability ad ease of maintenance. To make moving this fryer around for cleaning and maintenance as easy as possible it comes on adjustable 6” casters. For ease of use, it also comes with twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod.
