Fryers are one of the best investments any food service business can make. You don’t only have to use them to make the typical fries, chicken, or fish. Anything is possible with a little creativity. Your customers will not only love the typical foods that are normally fried, but also anything from pickles, macaroni and cheese, and even ice cream. Don’t know what kind of fryer will best suit your needs? Then give us a call, our sales staff will fit you with the ideal fryer for your needs.

One popular option is the Vulcan 1VK85A, it was designed with your needs in mind. It is easy to use, clean, and will provide you with large amounts of fried goodies to serve your customers. The entire cabinet and fry tank are both constructed of stainless steel. As long as you remember to maintain it, it will remain rust and corrosion free. The electronic, matchless ignition system uses 35,000 BTU/Hr. to extend oil life during start up and an idle rate of 6,298 BTU/Hr. The solid-state analog knob control allows you to control temperatures starting at a range of 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit with a digital display. The temperature will always remain within two degrees of where you specify. This ability greatly improves the overall performance of the unit and will provide it with speedy recovery time. Although, if something goes wrong and the temperatures get to high a hi-limit shut off valve will activate. This will shut off the gas connection and standing pilot. This is an exceptionally important feature to have in a fryer for the safety of your employees.

The fry tank uses a FivePass transfer system. Its unique configuration is more efficient than the standard fryer. This is because the system uses five different phases in order to transfer heat from the burners to the oil. It yields 66% of cooking efficiency and 78% thermal efficiency. The oil capacity for the fry tank is 85 to 90 pounds. This includes a set of twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles. At the bottom is a V shaped cold zone. A fryer that has a V shaped cold zone will work especially well if you’re looking to fry foods that come frozen. It will capture any crumbs or other debris and keep them from burning which could have a negative effect on the taste of your food. Another perk of a V shaped cold zone is how easy it is to clean. However, once it is time to replace your oil, a 1-1/4″ full port drain valve will easily drain everything out for you.
