The Vulcan 1VK45DF PowerFry5™ Fryer is the perfect choice for commercial kitchens in need of a gas-efficient deep fryer with built-in oil filtration. With a capacity of 45-50 lbs of oil, this fryer is able to handle high volume frying while keeping running costs low. It is also one of the most efficient models on the market and is ENERGYSTAR® qualified. What sets this fryer apart from others is its unique technology. While traditional gas-fired deep fryers use multiple burners in their own heat exchange tubes, the Vulcan FivePass™ Fryer uses a single large burner and two sets of heat exchange tubes with multiple bends. This allows for even heat transfer to the oil over five passes, extracting as much heat from the burned gas as possible before it exits the fryer. This design results in a fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. The fryer features a digital display for accurate temperature control between 200°F to 390°F, allowing for fast recovery. It also has two countdown timers for precise cooking. The SoftStart™ ignition system lowers the burn rate to gradually apply heat, extending the life of the oil. Additionally, the fryer has an auto boil-out mode, electronic ignition, and three melt modes for added convenience. The built-in filtration system, KleenScreen PLUS®, ensures that the frying oil can be used for a longer period of time without affecting the flavor of the food. It removes particles with a stainless steel mesh. Durability is also a key feature of this fryer. The fry tank and cabinet are made from stainless steel, making it able to withstand daily use. The fryer is also easy to move around with adjustable 6" casters that also help keep it level. Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod are included for convenience. The total gas input required for 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. Overall, the Vulcan 1VK45DF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a high-efficiency, gas-fired fryer with built-in oil filtration that is perfect for commercial kitchens in need of a reliable and cost-effective deep fryer.
