"If you're in the market for a fryer with advanced technology that sets it apart from other fryers, the 1VK65D PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan is an excellent choice. This fryer has a capacity of 65-70 lbs of oil and is ENERGYSTAR® qualified, making it one of the most efficient Commercial Deep Fryers available. Vulcan's Floor Model Gas Fryers have been carefully designed to meet the needs of various use cases, ensuring that operators have the right equipment for their needs. Traditional gas-fired deep fryers have used the same technology for decades, with multiple burners each in their own heat exchange tube to apply heat to the oil and expel the burned gas after a single pass. However, Vulcan's FivePass™ technology takes a different approach. It uses a single large burner and two sets of heat exchange tubes with multiple bends to evenly transfer heat to the oil over five passes. This maximizes the extraction of heat from the burned gas before it exits the fryer. As a result, this fryer achieves an impressive 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency, surpassing other fryers on the market. Even when idling, this fryer only consumes 4,802 BTU/hr of gas to maintain the cooking temperature. Additionally, the SoftStart™ ignition system gradually applies heat to the oil at startup, reducing thermal shock and prolonging the life of the oil. The digital controls on this fryer accurately display the temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, with a range of 200°F to 390°F (93°C to 199°C). Two count-down timers can be set to cook with compensating time or actual time. The fryer also features three melt modes, an auto-boil-out mode, and electronic ignition for ease of use. The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are made from stainless steel, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. The fryer comes with 6"" casters, making it easy to move around for maintenance and cleaning. The casters are adjustable to ensure the fryer is always level. Additionally, the fryer includes a tank brush, twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, and a clean-out rod. This fryer operates on 120v power and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug. It has a total gas input of 80,000 BTU/hr.
