Vulcan 1VK65DF PowerFry5 51 - 90 lb. Gas Floor Model Full Pot Fryer with Digital Controls - 80,000 BTU

For commercial kitchens that do a lot of deep-frying, an efficient and reliable fryer with built-in filtration like the Vulcan 1VK65DF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a great asset. With 65-70 lbs of oil capacity and innovative gas heating technology, this fryer stands above the rest. This fryer is ENERGYSTAR® qualified and is one of the most efficient Commercial Deep Fryers they have tested. The Floor Model Gas Fryers offered by Vulcan are some of the most reliable units on the market with a wide array of features that make operation simple. 

Most tube-fired fryers use multiple burners each in their own heat exchange tube. This evenly distributes heat but a lot of heat is wasted and is vented from the fryer immediately. Vulcan’s FivePass™ heat transfer takes a different approach, a single burner that branches off into two heat exchange tubes that bend back and forth to extend the length of the heat exchange tubes to heat oil evenly while harnessing more of the heat from the burned gas that would otherwise be unused. Vulcan’s out of the box design yields this fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency, unheard of in other fryers. For even more efficiency, this fryer has a SoftStart™ ignition system that gradually heats the oil at a rate of 35,000 BTU/hr which extends the life of the oil and when idle the fryer only consumes 4,802 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature.

This fryer comes with digital controls with accurate temperature control from 200° to 390°F for fast recovery. Two count-down timer can be used to cook with either compensating time or actual time. The electronic ignition, boil-out mode, and three melt modes make this fryer even simpler to use.

Thanks to the built-in filtration system oil can be used for much longer without needing to be changed reducing downtime and operational costs. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system removes particles with a stainless steel mesh.

Stainless steel construction of the cabinet and fry tank make sure cleaning and maintenance are as easy as possible. This fryer comes standard with adjustable 6” casters to make it easy to move around for cleaning and maintenance. It also comes with a clean-out rod, twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, and a tank brush.

This fryer requires a total input of 80,000 BTU/hr and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug.
