If you are in need of a triple fryer system for your kitchen, the Vulcan 3VK45AF PowerFry5™ Fryer is a great choice. This gas-heated fryer system is highly efficient and comes with a filtration system that helps keep running costs low. These deep fryers are ENERGYSTAR® qualified, making them some of the most energy-efficient models available on the market. Vulcan offers a variety of Floor Model Gas Fryers that are designed to provide operators with a wide range of options to suit their needs. Gas-fired deep fryers have been using the same technology for many years, 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™ fryer 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 allows for more efficient extraction of heat from the burned gas before it exits the fryer. With a cooking efficiency of 68% and 78% thermal efficiency, this fryer is much more effective at transferring heat energy from combustion to usable cooking heat compared to other fryers on the market. It only uses 4,251 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature when idle, and thanks to the SoftStart™ ignition system, only 35,000 BTU/hr is used to gradually heat the oil at startup, which helps extend its life. To control the frying temperature, there is a solid state analog knob located behind the door that allows users to set temperatures between 200°F and 390°F. This fryer also features an electronic ignition and selectable fat melt modes for ease of use. The built-in filtration system in this fryer system includes an 18 gauge stainless steel filter vessel with the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system, which uses a stainless steel mesh to remove larger particles. For more thorough filtration, optional KleenScreen PLUS® envelopes can be used to remove particles larger than 0.5 microns. The oil is circulated at a rate of 8 GPM by a ½ HP pump motor to ensure quick filtration. This fryer is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial use, with a stainless steel cabinet and fry tank. It is easy to keep level thanks to the adjustable 6" casters, which are also convenient for cleaning and maintenance tasks. The fryer comes with twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles
