Description

The Vulcan 1VK45A PowerFry5™ gas fryer is designed to optimize space in tight commercial kitchens while delivering high-volume frying performance. This 50 lb LP floor model (15.5" W x 30.125" D x 47.125" H) features a durable stainless steel cabinet and frypot, built to withstand the demands of restaurant kitchens. Its compact footprint, combined with a 14" x 14" fry tank, makes it perfect for back-of-house operations where efficiency is key. Equipped with twin fryer baskets and plastic-coated handles, the 1VK45A ensures secure frying with minimal heat transfer. The V-shaped cold zone beneath the burners reduces sediment buildup, while the 1 1/4" full-port ball-type drain valve simplifies oil maintenance. Four 6" casters (two locking) allow for easy movement, and the 36.25" working height ensures ergonomic operation. Ideal for breaded items, this gas fryer supports up to 70,000 BTU for consistent, high-quality frying. Restaurants and foodservice operations will appreciate the Vulcan 1VK45A’s robust construction, electronic matchless ignition, and included cleaning tools (tank brush and clean-out rod).
