Vulcan 4VK45CF Description
The Vulcan 4VK45CF PowerFry5™ high-efficiency gas fryer is built with four 50-pound-capacity gas fryers, enabling staff to fry shrimp, chicken, dumplings, and potatoes simultaneously to streamline operation. Each frypot comes with two fryer baskets that contain contents during frying, and their plastic-coated handles protect users' hands from burns as they retrieve the baskets from hot oil. To accommodate specific cooking requirements, the vats have individual computer controls that can be programmed to store as many as 10 menu timers. Users can also use these controls to set temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, initiate one of three melt modes, and cook with actual or compensating time. Digital screens provide easy-to-read Celsius or Fahrenheit displays.
As a PowerFry5 VK45 unit, this fryer is built with the FivePass™ heat transfer system—a mechanism that disperses high temperatures throughout oil to yield 78 percent thermal efficiency and 60 percent cooking efficiency. The SoftStart™ ignition system only outputs 35,000 BTUs per hour for each frypot to initially heat oil and maintain oil quality. To maintain the desired temperature, the idle temperature setting has to output just 4,251 BTUs per hour. The base-mounted KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system further extends oil life by promoting frequent oil filtration; operators can initiate a filtration cycle with the push of a button. While the motor and pump circulate 8 gallons of oil per minute, the stainless steel mesh filter screen efficiently removes particulates from two sides. Oil drains into the 70-pound-capacity filter pan, and the filtration drawer can be shut to seal the oil-return tube, enabling it to recycle filtered oil back to the frypots.
Overall, the Vulcan 4VK45CF commercial freestanding fryer measures 62 inches wide by 301⁄8 inches deep by 471⁄4 inches deep and creates an ergonomic 361⁄4-inch working height. Its base is positioned on four 6-inch casters that provide smooth mobility when movement is needed for cleaning or maintenance. During use, two of the casters can be locked. All frypots and cabinets are made of durable, rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel to match other back-of-house equipment, simplify cleaning, and withstand high-volume use.
