The Vulcan 1VK45C is a commercial-grade, single-vat gas fryer designed for restaurants and kitchens that demand durability, efficiency, and high-volume performance. Built with 18-gauge stainless steel, this 50 lb LP fryer resists corrosion and withstands daily wear, making it a long-term investment for deep-frying applications. Its 70,000 BTU output ensures rapid and even heating, perfect for breaded items like mozzarella sticks, chicken, and french fries. The ergonomic 36 1/4-inch working height and four 6-inch casters (with two locking casters) provide smooth mobility while maintaining stability during operation. This model is part of Vulcan’s PowerFry5 series, known for its precision frying and easy maintenance, including a V-shaped cold zone that prevents sediment buildup and maintains oil quality. Ideal for fast-food chains, diners, and ghost kitchens, the Vulcan 1VK45C combines industrial strength with user-friendly features like plastic-coated basket handles to reduce heat transfer and minimize operator fatigue. Whether you're frying in a high-traffic restaurant or a dedicated fry station, this fryer delivers consistent results without compromising on quality or longevity.
