Vulcan VFRY18 Details

Deliver basket after basket of freshly fried foods to your customers with this Vulcan VFRY18-NAT 45-50 lb. natural gas floor fryer with solid state analog controls! 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 70,000 BTU of power to keep up with high demand. Thanks to the front gas manifold, this fryer can be banked with your pre-existing V series range to provide your kitchen with a consistent, uniform design.

Equipped with a user-friendly solid state analog control knob behind the fryer door, this unit's temperature can be adjusted from 200-390 degrees Fahrenheit in just a few simple steps. The control allows the unit to react within 2 degrees Fahrenheit of the set temperature, which provides faster recovery and improves overall performance. A SoftStart ignition system combines with 2 selectable melt modes to allow you to gradually heat up your oil and help preserve its life, while also using less BTUs.

This fryer features Vulcan's exclusive ThreePass heat transfer system that passes heat to the oil for a much quicker recovery, yielding 60.9% cooking and 72% thermal efficiency. At its maximum production rate, the flue temperatures are less than 750 degrees Fahrenheit! 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 1 1/4" full port drain valve makes oil removal a quick and hassle-free process.

Both the cabinet and fry tank are comprised of rugged stainless steel that's designed to withstand the hustle and bustle of a busy commercial kitchen. The front gas manifold and a capped, rear gas connection provide a hassle-free, convenient gas connection that allows units to be placed side by side. This unit requires natural gas and a 120V electrical connection for operation.
