The Vulcan 1VK85C PowerFry5™ Fryer is the top choice for commercial kitchens in need of a reliable and efficient single fryer that can hold 85-90 lbs of oil. This fryer is ENERGYSTAR® qualified, making it one of the most energy-efficient options available.
Unlike other gas-heated deep commercial deep fryers that use multiple burners, the Vulcan 1VK85C utilizes FivePass™ heat transfer technology. This innovative design features a single large burner that branches off into two symmetrical heat tubes with multiple bends. This maximizes heat transfer to the oil before it is expelled from the fryer. As a result, the Vulcan 1VK85C achieves an impressive 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency, surpassing other fryers on the market. Additionally, the SoftStart™ ignition system gradually heats the oil at a rate of 35,000 BTU/hr, extending the life of the oil. When idle, the fryer only consumes 6,298 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature.
The computer controls on this fryer make it incredibly easy to achieve consistent results with up to 10 menu items. The system can be easily updated using a USB drive, allowing for simple deployment of settings to multiple fryers. The digital display shows the product name and cook times, ensuring that users have selected the correct menu item. The temperature can be accurately controlled between 200°F and 390°F, with fast recovery. The fryer also features electronic ignition and three melt modes for added convenience.
Designed for daily commercial use, the Vulcan 1VK85C is built to withstand rigorous conditions. It features a stainless steel cabinet and fry tank, ensuring durability and longevity. The fryer comes standard with adjustable 6" casters, making it easy to move around for cleaning and maintenance. It also includes a clean-out rod, twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, and a tank brush.
To power this fryer, it requires 90,000 BTU/hr of gas input. A 120v NEMA 5-15P cord and plug are included.
Overall, the Vulcan 1VK85C PowerFry5™ Fryer offers exceptional efficiency, reliability, and ease of use, making it the ideal choice for commercial kitchens in need of a high-capacity fryer.
