Vulcan 1VK45D Description
Commercial kitchens that do a lot of deep-frying need an efficient and reliable fryer like the 1VK45D PowerFry5™ Fryer from Vulcan. This fryer holds 45-50 lbs of oil to fit your kitchen’s demand. This fryer isn’t just ENERGYSTAR® qualified, it’s one of the most efficient Commercial Deep Fryers on the market. Vulcan’s range of Floor Model Gas Fryers are chocked full of features that make them more reliable, easier to use, and easier to maintain based on years of use and development.
Vulcan’s FivePass™ heat transfer system is a game-changer. Unlike other fryers with multiple straight heat exchange tubes each with a burner, Vulcan’s design uses a single large burner connected to heat exchange tubes that bend back and forth providing more surface area to transfer heat to oil more effectively. In effect, this reduces the amount of gas necessary to heat the oil effectively. The design yields this fryer with 78% thermal efficiency and 68% cooking efficiency. To maintain the oil temperature at idle this fryer only uses 4,251 BTU/hr and to extend the life of oil the SoftStart™ ignition system lowers the burn rate to 35,000 BTU/hr to gradually apply heat.
The digital controls on this fryer feature a digital display that shows the temperature accurately and the cooking temperature can be set between 200° and 390°F. Two count-down timers allow for cooking with compensating time or actual time. Thanks to auto boil-out mode, three melt modes and electronic ignition, this fryer is extremely easy to use.
This fryer is designed to stand up to the rigors of daily commercial use with a stainless steel cabinet and fry tank. Moving this fryer around is easy with the adjustable 6” casters which also make keeping it level simple. Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod are also included for convenience.
A NEMA 5-15P cord and plug are included to connect the fryer to a 120-volt outlet and in total 70,000 BTU/hr of gas input is required.
