The 4VK85AF PowerFry5™ Fryer by Vulcan is a unique quad fryer battery that offers exceptional efficiency and reliability. Each fryer in this system can hold 85-90 lbs of oil, and the integrated filtration system helps to keep overhead costs low. Vulcan's Floor Model Gas Fryers are packed with features that make them more reliable, easier to use, and easier to maintain, thanks to years of development and use.
The efficiency of this fryer is achieved through the FivePass™ heat transfer system. Unlike most fryers that use straight gas tubes to transfer heat to the frying oil, Vulcan has a single large burner that branches off into heat exchange tubes that bend back and forth in the fry tank, providing more surface area to heat the oil evenly. This design results in a fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. To maintain the oil temperature at idle, this fryer only uses 6,298 BTU/hr, and the SoftStart™ ignition system lowers the burn rate to 35,000 BTU/hr to gradually apply heat and extend the life of the oil.
To control the frying temperature, there is a solid state analog knob behind the door that allows users to set temperatures between 200°F and 390°F. For ease of use, this fryer has an electronic ignition and selectable fat melt modes.
To maintain the quality of the oil for extended periods, this fryer system has the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system, which utilizes a stainless steel mesh filter. The filtration system is housed inside an 18 gauge stainless steel filter vessel, and optional KleenScreen PLUS® filter envelopes can filter out particles as small as .5 microns. The oil is circulated at a rate of 8 GPM by a ½ HP motor to quickly filter the oil while minimizing downtime.
This fryer is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial use with its stainless steel cabinet and fry tank. It comes with adjustable 6" casters, a clean-out rod, tank brush, and twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles.
The total gas input of this fryer is 360,000 BTU/hr, and it comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug to connect it to a 120v outlet.
Overall, the PowerFry5™ Fryer by Vulcan is a high-efficiency fryer that offers excellent performance and durability. It is CSA, NSF, and ENERGY
