Designed with two 70 lb vats, this floor model fryer is built to handle high-volume frying demands, whether you're cooking golden-fried chicken, crispy onion rings, or thick-cut french fries. Its programmable computer controls feature a digital display, ten menu timers, and offline menu programming via USB, allowing you to customize frying processes to perfection. The three melt modes ensure gentle heating for solid shortenings, while the FivePass™ heat transfer system distributes heat evenly, reducing oil splatter and achieving fast recovery—critical for maintaining consistency in fast-paced environments.
This Vulcan fryer stands out with its stainless steel construction, durable stainless steel tank and cabinet, and twin fry baskets equipped with plastic-coated handles for user safety and minimal heat transfer. With a working height of 36 1/4 inches and a capacity of 140 lbs total, it fits seamlessly into commercial kitchens while delivering 78% thermal efficiency. The unit operates on natural gas (NG) and requires a 16-inch clearance to open-top burners, making it ideal for restaurants, fast-food chains, or catering operations where space and performance matter. Its freestanding design and NEMA 5-15P rating ensure stability and safety, while the 6-inch clearance on both sides and rear helps meet fire code requirements.
