The Vulcan 1VK45A PowerFry5™ gas fryer is a high-performance, commercial-grade deep fryer designed for demanding kitchen environments. With a 50 lb oil capacity in its 14-inch-wide, 14-inch-deep frypot, this floor model fryer ensures even heat distribution using the patented FivePass™ heat transfer system, reducing cooking times and minimizing oil lag. Its solid-state analog control knob allows precise temperature adjustments from 200°F to 390°F, while fat-melt modes optimize oil efficiency.

Ideal for restaurants, diners, and catering operations, this fryer combines rugged durability with energy efficiency, making it a top choice for professional kitchens. Its NEMA 5-15P rating ensures safe operation, while the twin fryer baskets and corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction add to its reliability.
