Vulcan 1VK45C Gas Fryer - (1) 50 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Because it's part of the PowerFry5™ series, the Vulcan VK45C commercial gas fryer is built with the FivePass™ heat transfer system that effectively distributes heat throughout oil to minimize cooking times and reduce recovery lag. This unit's 14-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep frypot accommodates 50 pounds of cooking oil and features a large V-shaped cold zone beneath the burners to collect sediment, preventing it from burning and affecting oil quality. To further extend oil life, its SoftStart™ ignition system gradually increases oil temperature upon startup. Staff can upload 10 timers, activate one of three melt modes, and set temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the programmable computer controls. To save energy once the set temperature is reached, the idle temperature mode maintains temperature by only outputting 4,251 BTUSs per hour.

The Vulcan VK45C commercial gas fryer is a 15¹⁄₂-inch-wide by 30¹⁄₈-inch-deep by 47¹⁄₈-inch-tall unit made of durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It's positioned on four 6-inch casters for smooth mobility. While its 36¹⁄₄-inch working height enhances user comfort, the two included fryer baskets simplify lowering food into the vat and lifting it from hot oil. The baskets' handles are coated with plastic to minimize heat transfer for user safety.
