Vulcan 2VK45AF PowerFry5™ (2) 45-50 lb. Fryers Gas Floor Fryer with Solid State Controls and KleenScreen PLUS® Filtration System, 120 Volts - 140,000 BTU

For commercial kitchens that do a lot of deep-frying, a dual fryer system with fry tanks that hold 45-50 lbs each is an incredible piece of equipment that needs to be extremely reliable. The 2VK45AF PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan offers this reliability while lowering operational costs with its energy-efficient heat transfer system and built-in filtration. These Commercial Deep Fryers are ENERGYSTAR® qualified and at the top of the list for the most efficient models available.

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. 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.

This fryer uses a simple to use solid stat analog knob located behind the door to control the temperature between 200° and 390°F. To make using this fryer simple it features electronic ignition and fat melt modes.

To maintain the quality of the oil for extended periods, this fryer system has the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system that utilizes a stainless steel mesh filter. The filtration system is kept inside an 18 gauge stainless steel filter vessel and particles down to .5 microns can be filtered out with the use of optional KleenScreen PLUS® filter envelopes. To make sure filtration is done as quickly as possible oil is circulated at a rate of 8 GPM by a ⅓ HP pump motor.

The fry tank and cabinet are made from durable stainless steel to make sure this fryer stands up to daily use without issue. The fryer is easy to keep level thanks to the adjustable 6” casters which are handy for cleaning and maintenance tasks. Other equipment supplied with this fryer include twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod.

A NEMA 5-15P cord and plug is included to connect the fryer to a 120 volt outlet and in total 140,000 BTU/hr of gas input is required.
