This fryer is one of the most efficient models available and is ENERGYSTAR® qualified. Vulcan offers a range of Floor Model Gas Fryers to cater to different needs and budgets. The FivePass™ heat transfer system in this fryer sets it apart from other fryers on the market. The burner and heat exchange tubes are designed like those found in racecars, with smooth bends that effectively increase the length of the tubes. This design allows for more heat transfer to the oil using a single burner, resulting in 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. Even when idling, this fryer consumes only 6,298 BTU/hr of gas to maintain the cooking temperature. The SoftStart™ ignition system gradually applies heat to the oil, reducing thermal shock and prolonging the life of the oil. This fryer features digital controls that accurately display the cooking temperature, which can be set from 200°F to 390°F. It also has two count-down timers and can cook with either actual time or compensating time. Additional features include three melt modes, auto boil-out mode, and electronic ignition for added convenience. The fryer comes with a built-in filtration system called KleenScreen PLUS® that uses a stainless steel mesh filter to remove particles and extend the life of the frying oil. Both the cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are made from stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. The fryer also includes adjustable 6" casters, a clean-out rod, tank brush, and twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles. To power this fryer, it requires 90,000 BTU/hr of gas input, and a 120v NEMA 5-15P cord and plug are included. Overall, the Vulcan 1VK85DF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a high-efficiency gas fryer with advanced features and a filtration system that makes it a top choice for commercial kitchens.
