Vulcan 4VK45AF Description
Although the Vulcan 4VK45AF gas fryer is designed to conserve energy, it also heats oil quickly because of its FivePass™ heat transfer system and SoftStart™ ignition system. While the FivePass mechanism uniformly circulates heat throughout the oil to yield 66 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency, the SoftStart system outputs 35,000 BTUs per hour for each frypot for an extended oil life. To maintain oil temperatures, the idle temperature settings outputs 4,251 BTUs per hour, further saving energy. This unit is powered by natural gas and can output 70,000 BTUs per hour for each fry tank (210,000 BTUs per hour overall).
Great for medium- to high-volume frying applications, each fry tank can hold 50 pounds of oil. The vats have individual analog knob controls that enable users to set the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and choose from a fat-melt mode for solid shortening. To keep breaded contents contained during frying, each fry tank includes twin fryer baskets; each basket features a plastic-coated handle to minimize heat transfer for enhanced user safety. This 62-inch-wide by 301⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄4-inch-tall unit provides a comfortable 361⁄4-inch working height. For lasting durability, it's made of rugged rust-, dent-, and scratch-resistant stainless steel.
The Vulcan 4VK45AF high-efficiency gas fryer's base is mounted on four 6-inch-diameter casters—two can be locked for stability during operation. The base is also comprised of a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system which features a 70-pound-capacity filter pan on a heavy-duty pull-out drawer. For simple operation, this system can be activated with the push of a button, and the drain valve interlock switch will automatically turn off the burners as oil drains. The 1⁄3-horsepower pump and motor circulate oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate, while the stainless steel mesh filter screen removes particulates from two sides. The self-sealing oil-return tube directs filtered oil to the fry tanks when the filter drawer is closed for hands-free operation.
