Vulcan 2VK65DF Description
The Vulcan 2VK65D PowerFry5™ fryer measures 42 inches wide by 301/8 inches deep by 471/8 inches high and sits at a 361/4-inch working height that enables comfortable use. It features two tanks, each with a 65- to 70-pound capacity, and twin fry baskets with plastic-coated handles that reduce burn risks. Its stainless steel cabinet and tank are durable enough to withstand high-demand kitchen use, while its V-shaped cold zone obtains sediments without burning them to prolong oil life. Designed with a FivePass™ heat transfer system, oil can be evenly heated, yielding 68 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency.
To reduce fire risks, the Vulcan 2VK65D flaunts a hi-limit shut off that stops the flow of gas when the oil gets too hot. It operates with liquid propane, and when powered on, its SoftStart™ ignition system starts at 70,000 BTU per hour and gradually increases to 160,000 BTU per hour. To save energy during off-peak hours, it can sit at an idle rate of 9,604 BTU. For simple cleaning, operators can use the included clean-out rod to clean sediment out of the cold zone and the tank brush to safely scrub the undersides of the burner. Because this model sits on four 6-inch casters, users can easily move it for cleaning and maintenance. The temperature controls enable it to be set to a temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and offer quick temperature recovery after dropping cold or frozen foods into the vats. It has an electronic ignition, two countdown timers, three melt modes, and an auto boil-out mode to streamline operation.
