The Vulcan 1VK85A PowerFry5™ Fryer is a highly efficient deep fryer that can hold 85-90 lbs of oil. It is ENERGYSTAR® qualified and one of the most energy-efficient fryers available. Unlike most tube-fired fryers that use multiple burners, the Vulcan fryer uses a FivePass™ heat transfer system with a single burner that branches off into two heat exchange tubes. This system heats the oil evenly and harnesses more heat from the burned gas, resulting in a cooking efficiency of 68% and thermal efficiency of 78%. The fryer only uses 6,298 BTU/hr when idle and 35,000 BTU/hr during startup.
The fryer features a solid stat analog knob for temperature control, electronic ignition, and fat melt modes for easy operation. It is made of stainless steel for easy cleaning and maintenance. The fryer comes with twin fry baskets, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod. It requires 90,000 BTU/hr of gas input and comes with a 120v NEMA 5-15P cord and plug.
