Vulcan 1VK45A Description
The 1VK45A PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan is a great choice for commercial kitchens that need an efficient gas-heated deep fryer that can hold 45-50 lbs. of oil. ENERGYSTAR® qualification doesn’t quite describe this fryer, it is one of the most energy-efficient that money can buy.
The FivePass™ heat transfer system in this fryer is unlike the multiple heat exchange tubes and burners found inside other Commercial Deep Fryers. The burner and heat exchange tubes look like they belong under the hood of a racecar, snaking back and forth with smooth bends. This design effectively extends the length of the heat exchange tubes while using s a single burner. This also increases the surface area to transfer more heat to the oil for the same amount of fuel burned. This fryer has a cooking efficiency of 68% and 78% thermal efficiency, making it much more effective at transferring heat energy from combustion to actual usable cooking heat than other fryers on the market. This efficiency is evident in the fact that this fryer only uses 4,251 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature when idle and thanks to the SoftStart™ ignition system only 35,000 BTU/hr is used to gradually heat the oil at startup which will extend its life.
The cooking temperature is easily adjusted with a simple analog knob behind the door which allows for temperatures from 200° to 390°F. For ease of use, this fryer has an electronic ignition and selectable fat melt modes.
The cabinet and fry tank are made from stainless steel for durability while making it easy to clean. Included with this fryer are adjustable 6” casters, a clean-out rod, tank brush, and twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles.
The total gas input required by this fryer is 70,000 BTU/hr and it comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug to connect it to a 120v outlet.
