The Vulcan 1VK65CF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a highly efficient gas fryer designed for commercial kitchens. It has a large oil capacity of 65-70 lbs and features built-in oil filtration, making it cost-effective and convenient to use. This fryer stands out from others on the market due to its unique technology that maximizes gas efficiency. Most tube-fired fryers use multiple burners, each in their own heat exchange tube. While this evenly distributes heat, a significant amount of heat is wasted and vented from the fryer immediately. Vulcan's FivePass™ heat transfer system takes a different approach. It uses a single burner that branches off into two heat exchange tubes, which bend back and forth to extend the length of the tubes. This design allows for even heating of the oil while harnessing more of the heat from the burned gas that would otherwise be unused. As a result, this fryer achieves an impressive 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency, which is unheard of in other fryers. In addition to its efficiency, this fryer also features a SoftStart™ ignition system that gradually heats the oil at a rate of 35,000 BTU/hr. This extends the life of the oil and reduces energy consumption. When idle, the fryer only consumes 4,802 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature. The fryer's computer controls make it easy for users to select menu items from ten programmable presets. Programming the system is simple with a USB interface, which also allows for quick updates across multiple fryers at different branches. A digital character display provides users with product names and cook times for quick reference. Accurate temperature control from 200°F to 390°F allows for quick recovery. The fryer also has electronic ignition and three melt modes, making it easy to start up. With its built-in filtration system, this fryer further extends the usability of the oil without affecting flavor and reduces downtime. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system uses a stainless steel mesh filter to remove particles and keep the oil clean. This fryer is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial use with its stainless steel cabinet and fry tank. It comes mounted on adjustable 6" casters, making it easy to move around while keeping it level. The fryer also includes twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a cleanout rod, and a tank brush. The total gas input
