Vulcan 4VK85CF Description
For high-volume frying of breaded chicken, fish, shrimp, pork loin, and other varieties, the Vulcan 4VK85CF gas fryer features four vats and is equipped with KleenScreen PLUS® filtration. This filtration system features a 1/3-horsepower motor and pump that circulate frying compound at 8 gallons per minute. To cover a wide area, its two-sided stainless steel mesh filter screen covers 270 to 350 square inches, and when the oil needs exchanged, its 11/4-inch drain valve can empty used oil into the 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan. This pan can hold 110 pounds of oil and features large lift handles to ease removal for cleaning. For precise sanitation, employees can use the included tank brush and clean-out rod.
This fryer maintains temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be adjusted with the programmable computer controls. A total of ten menu timers can be programmed with an accurate digital display of the product names and their corresponding cook times. For quick heating with reduced energy usage, its SoftStart™ ignition system quickly heats the oil while outputting 35,000 BTU an hour per frypot. To optimize production, its FivePass™ heat transfer system yields 65 percent cooking and 78 percent thermal efficiency; as a safety precaution, if this unit exceeds its temperature limit, it boasts a hi-limit shutoff.
Overall, the Vulcan 4VK85CF gas fryer measures 84 inches wide by 343/8 deep by 471/4 inches high and is mounted on four 6-inch casters to encourage mobility. Its cabinet and fry tank are constructed of stainless steel to reduce corrosion and irregularities to the structure. For convenience, each tank includes two 83/4-inch-wide by 163/4-inch-deep metal fry baskets that feature plastic-coated handles to reduce heat transfer to hands.
