The 4VK45DF PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan is a four-fryer system with a capacity of 45-50 lbs designed to meet the demands of a commercial kitchen while saving on operational costs with its energy-efficient gas-fired system and filtration system. These deep fryers are ENERGYSTAR® qualified and are among the most energy-efficient models available. Vulcan's FivePass™ heat transfer system uses a single burner that branches off into two heat exchange tubes to evenly heat the oil and maximize the use of heat from the burned gas. With 68% cooking efficiency and 78% thermal efficiency, this fryer outperforms other fryers on the market. It features a SoftStart™ ignition system that gradually heats the oil without breaking it down, extending its life. When idle, it only burns 4,251 BTU/hr of gas to maintain the cooking temperature. The digital controls allow for precise temperature control and include count-down timers for cooking. The fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system removes particles, and optional envelopes can be ordered for more thorough filtration. The fryer is constructed with stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. It comes with adjustable casters for easy mobility and includes accessories such as fry baskets, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod. The fryer requires a total input of 280,000 BTU/hr and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug. It also includes standard features such as a hi-limit shut-off, stainless steel cabinet, electronic matchless ignition, and a one-year limited parts and labor warranty. Optional accessories and extended warranty are available. The overall dimensions of the fryer are 15 1/2"w x 34 3/8"d x 47 1/8"h. It is available for both natural gas and propane gas and does not require any special adjustments for varying altitudes. The fryer is CSA design certified and NSF listed.
