Vulcan 2VK45CF Description
The Vulcan 2VK45CF PowerFry5™ commercial gas fryer's two 50-pound-capacity frypots have corresponding computer controls that enable users to set each frypot's temperature, timer, and melt mode to properly cook products with different requirements. To streamline operation, operators can program as many as 10 menu items, while the digital display provides a readout of the menu item name and cook time; items can be programmed offline with a USB system. Once temperatures are set between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, the SoftStart™ ignition system quickly warms the oil to the desired temperature to save energy and reduce the chance of scorched oil. When it reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature setting maintains heat by outputting just 4,251 BTUs per hour to save energy. To yield 78 percent thermal efficiency and 66 percent cooking efficiency, its FivePass™ heat transfer system evenly disperses heat throughout the oil.
Employees can work comfortably at this 31-inch-wide by 3013⁄100-inch-deep by 471⁄4-inch-tall fryer because it creates a 361⁄4-inch working height. Users can lower breaded contents into the vats with the included fryer baskets, which feature plastic-coated handles to minimize heat transfer to promote safety. To protect users' hands from heat transfer the baskets' handles are coated with plastic. For lasting rust- and corrosion-resistant durability, the frypots and the cabinet are constructed of stainless steel. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters—two of which include locks—this fryer is simple to reposition and stabilize in place.
The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system built into the base of the Vulcan 2VK45CF commercial gas fryer is positioned on an accessible pull-out drawer. To streamline operation, operators can initiate a filtration cycle with the push of a button, causing the motor and pump to circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute. As much as 70 pounds of oil can be emptied into the stainless steel filtration pan, and once oil is fully filtered, the oil-return tube adds it back into the frypots after the filter drawer is closed.
