Vulcan 3VK85CF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Because all three of the Vulcan 3VK85CF PowerFry5™ commercial gas fryer's frypots operate independently, they can fry products with contrasting cooking requirements simultaneously. Each vat has a corresponding computer control system, complete with 10 programmable menu timers, temperature control from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, the ability to cook with actual or compensating time, and three melt modes. A digital readout ensures the unit is set to the correct temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Once the controls are set, the SoftStart™ ignition system outputs 135,000 BTUs per hour while quickly heating oil, and the FivePass™ mechanism effectively directs heat throughout the oil, yielding 65 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency. To maintain its achieved heat, the idle temperature setting only has to output 18,894 BTUs per hour.

This 63-inch-wide by 30¹³⁄₁₀₀-inch-deep by 47¹⁄₄-inch-tall unit establishes a 36¹⁄₄-inch cooking height for user comfort. The frypots each include twin fryer baskets that keep breaded foods contained as they're fried. Their handled bodies streamline lowering and lifting, and because the handles are coated with plastic, they protect users from being burned due to heat transfer. To withstand high-volume back-of-house use, its body and vats are made of durable stainless steel that resists rust, dents, and scratches. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, it's simple to reposition for maintenance or cleaning.

Intended for use twice per day, the Vulcan 3VK85CF freestanding gas fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system can be activated with the push of a button. Its motor and pump circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute, while the stainless steel mesh filter screen provides a filtration area as large as 350 square inches. As much as 110 pounds of oil can be collected in the seamless stainless steel filtration pan, which is simple to remove and empty as needed. To eliminate manual tasks, the oil-return tube automatically guides filtered shortening back to the tanks once the filter drawer is closed.
