Vulcan 4VK45DF PowerFry5™ (4) 45-50 lb. Fryers Gas Floor Fryer with Digital Controls and KleenScreen PLUS® Filtration System, 120 Volts - 280,000 BTU

The 4VK45DF PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan is a four-fryer system with 45-50 lb capacity Commercial Deep Fryers designed to keep up with a commercial kitchen’s demands while saving operators on operational costs with an energy-efficient gas-fired system and a filtration system. These deep fryers are ENERGYSTAR® qualified and some of the most energy-efficient models you can find on the market. Floor Model Gas Fryers from Vulcan are designed to be incredibly reliable, efficient, and user friendly.

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. 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.

The digital controls on this fryer feature a digital display that shows the temperature accurately and the cooking temperature can be set between 200° and 390°F. Two count-down timers allow for cooking with compensating time or actual time. Thanks to auto boil-out mode, three melt modes and electronic ignition, this fryer is extremely easy to use.

This fryer system’s KleenScreen PLUS® features a stainless steel mesh filter to remove most particles, but for more thorough filtration you can order optional KleenScreen PLUS® envelopes that will filter out particulates down to .5 microns. The filtration system is housed inside an 18 gauge stainless steel filter vessel. 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 stainless steel construction of the cabinet and fry tank make this fryer durable and easy to clean. The 6” casters included with this fryer make it easy to move around for maintenance and cleaning. The casters are also adjustable to make sure the fryer is always level. A tank brush, twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, and a clean-out rod are also included.

This fryer requires a total input of 280,000 BTU/hr and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug.
