If your commercial kitchen is in need of a gas-fired deep fryer that is efficient and cost-effective, consider the Vulcan VFRY18F V Series Heavy Duty Range Match Fryer. This fryer has a 45-50 lbs oil capacity and is ENERGYSTAR® qualified, making it one of the most energy-efficient options available. One of the standout features of this fryer is Vulcan's ThreePass™ heat transfer system. Unlike traditional tube-fired fryers that have multiple burners with their own heat exchange tubes, Vulcan's system uses a single large burner that splits into two runs of heat exchange tubes. These tubes bend back and forth to increase their length and evenly heat the oil with a larger surface area. This design maximizes the thermal energy provided by the burning gas, resulting in impressive figures of 72% thermal efficiency and 60% cooking efficiency. The fryer also features the SoftStart™ ignition system, which reduces the burn rate at start-up to gradually heat the oil. This prolongs the life of the oil by preventing it from breaking down due to excessive heat. To control the frying temperature, there is a solid state analog knob located behind the door. This allows users to set temperatures between 200°F and 390°F. The fryer also has user-selectable fat melt modes and electronic ignition. The built-in filtration system is another advantage of this fryer. It allows for longer use of the oil without needing to be changed, reducing downtime and operational costs. The filtration system includes a stainless steel mesh filter to remove particles. Cleaning and maintenance are made easy with the stainless steel construction of the cabinet and fry tank. The fryer also comes with adjustable 6" casters for easy movement during cleaning and maintenance. This fryer operates on standard 120-volt power and requires a total of 70,000 BTU/hr of gas input. Overall, the Vulcan VFRY18F V Series Heavy Duty Range Match Fryer with its efficient heat transfer system, filtration system, and durable construction is an excellent choice for any commercial kitchen.
