Vulcan 1VK85C Gas Fryer - (1) 90 lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

For lasting durability and corrosion resistance, the Vulcan 1VK85C PowerFry5™ high-efficiency gas fryer is constructed of stainless steel. This 21-inch-wide by 34³⁄₈-inch-deep by 47¹⁄₈-inch-tall piece of equipment provides a 36¹⁄₄-inch working height and is built with a 19¹⁄₂-inch-wide by 18¹⁄₄-inch-deep vat capable of accommodating 90 pounds of oil. To streamline frying, the included twin baskets can be used simultaneously to keep foods separated as they're submerged into the oil and lifted from the vat. Their handles are coated with plastic to reduce heat transfer for employee safety. This unit can effortlessly be moved utilizing four 6-inch casters, two of which can be locked in place for stabilization during frying.

To simplify operation during high-volume frying, this fryer is built with programmable computer controls. As many as 10 menu items and their required cook times can be added to the system; for additional flexibility, these products can be uploaded offline with a USB interface. While staff can set unit temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, a digital display provides an accurate temperature readout. This system can cook with compensating or actual time, and it can be ignited electronically. To cook solid shortening properly, it provides three melt modes.

For quick and efficient frying, the Vulcan 1VK85C commercial gas fryer's FivePass™ heat transfer system evenly circulates heat throughout the oil, which reduces cooking and recovery times. Upon startup, the unit uses SoftStart™ ignition system, causing the unit to output 45,000 BTUs per hour rather than 90,000 BTUs to reduce the risk of scorching the oil. Once the set temperature is reached, the idle temperature setting outputs 6,298 BTUs per hour to conserve energy. To maintain a comfortable kitchen environment, the flue temperature doesn't exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit, even when the unit is operating at maximum production capacity.
