Vulcan 1VK85DF Description
Featured in the PowerFry5™ series, the Vulcan 1VK85DF freestanding fryer's fry tank and base cabinet are constructed of stainless steel. The tank measures 191⁄2 inches wide by 181⁄4 inches deep and can hold 85 to 90 pounds of oil. To enhance employee comfort, it has a 361⁄4-inch working height. This unit has two fryer baskets, which can hold breaded shrimp, french fries, or mozzarella sticks in place as they're transferred to and from the vat; plastic-coated basket handles ease transportation and protect users from burns. After service, oil can be removed through the 11⁄4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, and the unit can be cleaned with the included tank brush and clean-out rod. This freestanding fryer measures 21 inches wide by 343⁄8 inches deep by 471⁄8 inches high and is mounted on two locking and two non-locking 6-inch casters.
Users can observe temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius using the unit's digital thermostat, and to accommodate varying cooking requirements, temperatures can be adjusted between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Time can be monitored as actual or compensating to account for heat recovery, while two countdown timers alert staff when food is finished to reduce product waste. So operators can use solid frying compounds, this unit offers three melt modes. To enhance oil quality while extending oil life, this fryer features a Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system.
For uniform heat distribution, the Vulcan 1VK85DF natural gas fryer has a FivePass™ heat system yielding 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The electronic ignition system includes a SoftStart™ function, which gradually warms the oil at startup; to prevent overheating, it has a high-limit shut off. To extend oil life, a "V"-shaped cold zone catches loose sediment and protects it from burning, thereby preserving oil taste and color. As new items are added to the fryer, a fast heat recovery system quickly brings the compound back to temperature, minimizing heat lag. An idle temperature setting conserves energy during extended slow periods, and to remove boil-out solution after cleaning, staff can select the automatic boil-out mode.
