The Vulcan 3VK65AF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a gas-heated three-fryer system with 65-70 lb Commercial Deep Fryers designed to keep up with demands while keeping operational costs as low as possible with an energy-efficient heat transfer system and built-in filtration. The efficiency of these fryers puts them at the top of the ENERGYSTAR® qualification list. Vulcan Floor Model Gas Fryers are used in commercial kitchens around the world for their reliability and ease of use.

At first glance Vulcan’s FivePass™ heat transfer system looks like someone pulled the exhaust header from a muscle car and dropped it into a deep fryer. While Vulcan may have taken inspiration from automotive design, it’s for good reason. Instead of having multiple burners in straight heat exchange tubes like in most fryers, they went back to the drawing board and came up with a design that uses a large single burner that splits off into two heat exchange tubes that bend back and forth to increase the effective length of the heat exchange tubes to make better use of the heat generated by the burner, all while evenly distributing heat to the oil. The groundbreaking design of the heat transfer system yields this fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. To maintain the oil temperature at idle this fryer only uses 4,802 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 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.

This fryer system’s KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system uses a stainless steel mesh to remove most particles. The filtration system is protected by a filter vessel made from 18 gauge stainless steel. If you need to filter out particles down to .5 microns, optional KleenScreen PLUS® filter envelopes can be ordered. 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 cabinet and fry tank are made from stainless steel for durability while making it easy to clean. 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.

A NEMA 5-15P cord and plug are included to connect the fryer to a 120-volt outlet and in total 240,000 BTU/hr of gas input is required.
