Vulcan 2VK85AF Description
Because the Vulcan 2VK85AF gas fryer uses solid-state analog controls, operators can regulate the temperature between 200 to 390 degrees with knobs behind the door. It offers user-selectable fat melt modes that enable the use of solid shortening and an electronic ignition. Designed with two 85- to 90-pound capacity vats, this model can fry large quantities of chicken, fries, and onion rings. The tank and cabinet are made of stainless steel to endure heavy-volume usage, and the cold zone is V-shaped to collect sediment without burning, prolonging oil life. It has twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to reduce heat transfer and user burns.
The Vulcan 2VK85AF PowerFry5™ uses a FivePass™ heat transfer system that distributes heat evenly throughout the oil, yielding 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency. The hi-limit shut-off reduces fire risks by reducing gas intake when oil gets too hot. Designed with a SoftStart™ ignition system, this unit operates at 90,000 BTUs per hour during start up and gradually increases to 180,000 BTUs. To reduce energy use during off-peak hours, this fryer can sit at an idle rate of 12,596 BTUs per hour.
This freestanding model comes with a tank brush and clean-out rod and sits on four 6-inch casters that enable mobility for thorough cleaning and maintenance. Its 11/4-inch drain valve has an interlock switch that automatically turns off the gas burners when oil is draining. For optimal filtration, its Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system offers a seamless 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan and a stainless steel mesh screen that filters from two sides. Overall, this unit measures 21 inches wide by 343/8 inches deep by 471/8 inches high and operates with natural gas.
