Vulcan 2VK65AF Description
Designed with two 65- to 70-pound capacity tanks, the Vulcan 2VK65AF PowerFry™ fryer is suitable for cooking large quantities of chicken wings, fries, and onion rings. This freestanding configuration sits at a 361/4-inch working height for comfortable use, and these tanks and cabinets are constructed of durable stainless steel to withstand rigorous use in demanding kitchens. Its twin fry baskets' handles are coated with plastic to minimize heat transfer and reduce user burns. Because of its FivePass™ heat transfer system, heat is evenly spread throughout the oil, enabling quick recovery after cold or frozen foods are dropped. This system yields 68 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. Built with a V-shaped cold zone, sediment can be collected without burning and scrubbed out with the included clean-out rod.
To prolong oil life, this unit's SoftStart™ ignition system operates at 70,000 BTUs per hour during startup and gradually increases to 160,000 BTUs. During slow hours, it sits at an idle rate of 9,604 BTUs, while its hi-limit shut-off reduces fire risks by reducing gas flow when the fryers get too hot. The solid-state analog controls are placed behind the cabinet door and can set temperatures between 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Its user-selectable fat melt modes can heat the fry tanks slowly and liquify solid shortening.
The Vulcan 2VK65AF gas fryer features a 11/4-inch full-port ball-type drain valve with an interlock switch, which turns off gas burners when the valve is opened. Its Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system's filter pan is constructed of seamless, 18-gauge stainless steel that weighs 201/2 pounds. Its stainless steel mesh filter screen strains from two sides for optimal filtration. Overall, this unit measures 42 inches wide by 301/8 inches deep by 471/4 inches high and is placed on four 6-inch casters, easing mobility for maintenance and cleaning; two casters lock for stationary use.
