Vulcan 4VK65AF Gas Fryer - (4) 70 lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Featured in the PowerFry5™ series, the Vulcan 4VK65AF fryer has four stainless steel fry tanks, each of which can hold 65 to 70 pounds, and a stainless steel base. The unit establishes a 36¹⁄₄-inch working height for comfortable access to the frying area's eight fry baskets. To protect users' hands from burns, these baskets feature handles that have been coated in plastic. For cleaning, users can use the 1¹⁄₄-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, tank brush, and clean-out rod. Its automatic boil-out mode streamlines boil-out solution removal. For transportation, it's mounted on four 6-inch swivel casters; two casters have locks for stability during use. Overall, this fryer measures 84 inches wide by 30¹⁄₈ inches deep by 47¹⁄₈ inches high.

This unit can be set to temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, and this heat is evenly distributed through the oil with the FivePass™ heating system. Temperatures can be set with the solid-state analog control knob, which can be accessed through the cabinet door. This fryer features multiple melt modes so staff can use solid frying compounds with ease, and during slow periods, its idle temperature mode uses 4,802 BTU per hour to maintain set temperatures.

This Vulcan 4VK65AF fryer operates with natural gas and features an electronic SoftStart™ ignition system. So the unit doesn't exceed the maximum temperature setting, it boasts hi-limit shut-off technology. Its "V"-shaped cold zone traps debris that could otherwise burn and impact oil taste and color, while its Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system further extends oil life by trapping particulates 40 to 60 times smaller than paper filters. While a stainless steel mesh screen catches debris from two sides, the push-button-activated motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute for thorough filtration. The stainless steel filter pan collects as much as 110 pounds of waste, which can then be emptied through the 6-foot, high-temperature discard hose. Before draining, users should engage the drain valve interlock switch to disconnect the gas channel.
