Vulcan 4VK45CF Description
To streamline frying, the Vulcan 4VK45CF gas fryer's four 50-pound-capacity frypots have individual computer controls. Users can upload as many as 10 menu items' cook times and temperatures with USB programming software. For items not programmed into the system, operators can manually adjust the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. The controls include three melt modes and the choice of cooking with compensating time or actual time; the digital display provides accurate temperature readouts in Fahrenheit or Celsius. After users set up each frypot for use, the SoftStart™ ignition system quickly warms oil using just 35,000 BTUs per hour for each vat. The FivePass™ heat transfer system yields 66 cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency by uniformly dispersing heat throughout oil. Once the set temperature is reached, the idle temperature setting maintains the heat by outputting just 4,251 BTUs per hour.
To enhance oil quality and extend oil life, a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is built into the unit's base. Operators can activate the 1⁄3-horsepower motor and pump with the push of a button, and the drain interlock valve automatically shuts off the burners as oil drains. While the motor and pump circulate 8 gallons of hot oil per minute, the stainless steel mesh filter screen establishes a filtration area as large as 350 square inches by removing debris from two sides. After oil has drained into the 70-pound-capacity filter pan, the filter drawer can be closed to seal the oil-return tube so it can direct filtered oil to the frypots.
For lasting durability, the Vulcan 4VK45CF efficient commercial fryer's frypots and cabinet are made of dent-, scratch-, rust-, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Users can comfortably fry products at the 361⁄4-inch working height, and the included fryer baskets are built with plastic-coated handles to minimize heat transfer. To simplify maneuvering when the floor needs to be cleaned or the unit needs to be serviced, it's fitted with four 6-inch-diameter casters, two of which include locks for stabilization.
