Vulcan 3VK65AF Gas Fryer - (3) 70 lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Because the Vulcan 3VK65AF commercial gas fryer is part of the PowerFry5™ collection, it's built with the FivePass™ heat transfer system—a mechanism that evenly distributes heat throughout the oil to yield 68 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. As a result, this component reduces cooking and recovery times. To maximize throughput, this fryer is built with three 70-pound-capacity vats. Each vat comes with twin fryer baskets to keep contents contained during the frying process; the baskets' plastic-coated handles minimize heat transfer for user safety.

Users can set temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and select fat-melt modes with the analog knob controls located behind the cabinet doors. Because each vat has a separate control, foods with different requirements can be cooked simultaneously; the multi-vat design also eliminates the risk of flavor transfer. The SoftStart™ ignition system quickly heats oil while only outputting 40,000 BTUs per hour—half the unit's maximum hourly BTU output. Once the set temperature is reached, the idle temperature mode maintains temperatures by outputting 4,802 BTUs per hour for additional energy savings.

The Vulcan 3VK65AF high-efficiency, three-battery gas fryer measures 63 inches wide by 30¹⁄₈ inches deep by 47¹⁄₈ inches tall and is fitted with four 6-inch casters that provide smooth mobility; two casters can be locked to park the unit when necessary. For durability and corrosion resistance, it's made of stainless steel that matches other back-of-house equipment and can simply be wiped clean as needed. The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system built into the base can be activated with the push of a button. Its stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides as the pump and motor circulate oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate. The filtration pan can hold 110 pounds of oil, and the oil-return tube automatically sends filtered oil back to the frypots when the filter drawer is closed.
