Vulcan VFRY18F Description
User can adjust the temperatures of the Vulcan VFRY18F V-series fryer using the solid-state analog control knob, which is enclosed in the base cabinet. The unit is activated through an electronic, SoftStart™ ignition system that conserves energy at startup and minimizes oil scorching. For thorough, even temperature distribution, this natural gas fryer uses a ThreePass™ heat transfer system, and to prevent the unit from exceeding maximum temperatures, it sports a hi-limit shutoff feature. Oil quality is preserved over extended periods with the integrated filtration system, which circulates oil at 8 gallons per minute using a push-button-activated motor and pump. Polluted oil is then gathered in the 18-gauge stainless steel filter pan; for enhanced safety, users should activate the drain valve interlock switch prior to draining.
For low-volume fryer tasks, the Vulcan VFRY18F fryer features one vat that can support as much as 50 pounds of oil. Its heavy-duty stainless steel front, front top ledge, sides, tank, base, and stub back withstand rigorous use in high-traffic kitchens. This unit includes two fry baskets with plastic-coated basket handles to contain food as it’s submerged into and removed from hot oil. To establish comfortable working conditions, the fry tank has a 36-inch working height. After service, users can drain oil through the 1⁄4-inch port ball-type drain valve and utilize the Boil Out Bypass™ system to streamline boil-out solution removal. Overall, this unit measures 18 inches wide by 40 inches deep by 483/8 inches high and is mounted on 6-inch legs.
