Scratch and Dent Vulcan LG400-1 Details

  • New; never used
  • The unit's chimney is damaged

Deliver basket after basket of freshly fried foods to your customers with this Vulcan LG400-1 45-50 lb. natural gas floor fryer! With an oil capacity of 45-50 lb., this unit is packed with great benefits to make your frying experience as easy and efficient as possible. Boasting a 14" x 14" frying area, this tube-style fryer delivers 120,000 BTU of power and comes with twin fry baskets, so you can get to frying as soon as you fill the tank!

Equipped with user-friendly snap action millivolt controls, this unit's temperature can be adjusted from 200-400 degrees Fahrenheit in just a few simple steps. Plus, to ensure safety for all employees, a hi-limit indicator shuts off the gas connection and standing pilot if the oil temperatures get too high. A large V-shaped cold zone at the bottom of the fry tank prevents crumbs and other debris from burning, which extends the life of your oil and keeps products tasting great. A 1 1/4" full port drain valve makes oil removal a quick and hassle-free process.

The fry tank is comprised of rugged stainless steel that's designed to withstand the hustle and bustle of a busy commercial kitchen, while the sides and back feature a non-corrosive, galvanized finish. To aid in the cleaning process, the basket hanger can be easily removed. Sturdy, nickel-plated legs are standard. For your convenience, this fryer comes with both a 1/2" and 3/4" gas connection. This unit requires natural gas for operation.

Do not buy this fryer! We have had nothing but issues with it. Vulcan will not stand behind their product and admit the problems are "typical" for this type of "economy" fryer. Their words, so avoid this product. We have had it for only 15 months and have to spend hundreds of dollars on it now. Poor quality!!

Couldn't be more happy with the quality and performance of the Vulcan friers. We added two of these during our recent kitchen renovation and it has helped us move plates so much faster. Very happy with the service from webstrauntstore as well.

Good Fryer. Purchased 3 months ago and have been happy with it's capability. Be Warned!!! the galvanized finish on the inside of the basin is very tough to get clean and I would not recommend purchasing a fryer with this interior finish.

I ordered 3 Vulcan fryers for my restaurant and have nothing but problems with them. In the year that I've had them, the thermocouple has had to be replaced 3 times on 1 fryer and trays on the other 2 at $110 a pop. Will be fryer shopping soon after 1 year and will not choose this brand.

Bought it about 7 months ago and the pilot light will NOT stay on. We usually have to sit in front of the unit for 20-30 min every morning until the pilot stays on. We even hold it until it turns very red as you can see in our video. We would not recommend this fryer AT ALL. I thought Vulcan made better products. Very disappointed

We bought this unit new and had it for 2 months before the gas valve broke and the pilot stopped lighting at all. This was the second Vulcan fryer we purchased in the last year. Should have learned our lesson with the first, but thought it would be nice to have 2 fryers with the same parts so we could order spares.

I want to give this fryer a better review but from day one pilot wouldn’t stay on so we didn’t have a working fryer for days. Technician came out and told us manufacturers wired the wiring incorrectly and was the reason it wasn’t working. Disappointed to see new product didn’t work but after fixing its working fine for now.

We appreciate your review, Manhar. We wish this floor fryer would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.
