Vulcan 1VK45DF PowerFry5 15 - 50 lb. Gas Floor Model Full Pot Fryer with Digital Controls - 70,000 BTU

Commercial kitchens need a deep fryer that burns gas efficiently and keeps running costs low with built-in oil filtration. The Vulcan 1VK45DF PowerFry5™ Fryer checks off both these boxes with its 45-50 lbs of oil capacity and it uses unique technology not found in any other Commercial Deep Fryers on the market. This fryer tops the list of ENERGYSTAR® qualified models and is one of the most efficient models on the market. To keep up with high volume frying Floor Model Gas Fryers from Vulcan are an easy pick 

Gas-fired deep fryers have essentially used the same technology for the better part of a century, multiple burners each in their own heat exchange tube to apply heat to oil and expel the burned gas after a single pass. Vulcan’s FivePass™, as its name implies, uses a single large burner and two sets of heat exchange tubes with multiple bends to let the heat transfer to the oil evenly over five passes. This extracts as much heat from the burned gas as possible before it exits the fryer. The design yields this fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. To maintain the oil temperature at idle this fryer only uses 4,251 BTU/hr and to extend the life of oil the SoftStart™ ignition system lowers the burn rate to 35,000 BTU/hr to gradually apply heat.

The digital display on this fryer provides accurate temperature control between 200° to 390°F allowing for fast recovery. Cooking can be timed with compensating time or actual time with two countdown timers. For added convenience, this fryer features auto boil-out mode, electronic ignition, and three melt modes.

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.  The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system removes particles with a stainless steel mesh.

The fry tank and cabinet are made from durable stainless steel to make sure this fryer stands up to daily use without issue. Moving this fryer around is easy with the adjustable 6” casters which also make keeping it level simple. Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod are also included for convenience.

The total gas input required by this fryer is 70,000 BTU/hr and it comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug to connect it to a 120v outlet.
