Vulcan 1VK45DF Gas Fryer, 50 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan POWERFRY5 15.5" Commercial Gas Fryer is a freestanding, natural gas fryer built for restaurant and commercial kitchen use. It combines a single stainless steel fry tank with digital controls and a Fivepass heat transfer system, making it a practical choice for operations that fry in batches throughout service.

The fryer measures 15.5 inches wide, 30.12 inches deep, and 47.12 inches high, with a cooking area of 14 inches by 14 inches. The 50 pound oil capacity and 70,000 BTU input support a temperature range of 200°F to 390°F, while the digital display and digital control type let staff set and monitor temperatures. Electronic matchless ignition starts the burners without a standing pilot.

A full port ball type drain valve with a 1.25 inch drain simplifies oil changes, and the Kleenscreen Plus mesh screen filter is two-sided for filtration during use. The unit ships with two fryer baskets and four adjustable casters, two of which lock. The stainless steel tank and silver stainless steel exterior suit daily commercial kitchen cleaning routines.

Safety features include a hi-limit shut-off. Clearance requirements are 6 inches on the sides and rear, and 16 inches from adjacent open-top burner units. The fryer is CSA Design Certified and NSF Listed. It includes a 10-year warranty by the manufacturer.
