Vulcan 4VK85AF Description
For frying breaded meats and vegetables or preparing fries and mozzarella sticks, the Vulcan 4VK85AF gas fryer maintains temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. To conveniently adjust temperatures, it integrates solid-state analog controls, which feature user-selectable fat melt modes. This four-battery unit can hold 85 to 90 pounds of oil per vat, and to effectively heat the oil while conserving energy, its SoftStart™ ignition system quickly heats the unit at half the normal BTUs. To evenly distribute the heat and reduce scalding or disintegration, its FivePass™ heat transfer yields 65 percent cooking efficiency and 78 percent thermal efficiency; should it exceed temperature conditions, it has a hi-limit shutoff safety precaution.
To maintain quality oil and extends its life, the Vulcan 4VK85AF gas fryer features a KleenScreen Plus® filtration system. Its oil return line connection facilitates frying compound at 8 gallons per minute, and to simplify operation, it's activated with the push of a button. Filtration occurs from two sides to cover 270 to 350 square inches, and after business hours, its 11/4-inch drain valve can be used to circulate oil into the 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan. For thorough sanitation, its patented Boil Out Bypass™ system removes solutions with minimal contact to the drain manifold, filter pan, and motor pump.
