Its dual 90-lb vats accommodate large baskets, making it perfect for restaurants with high-volume frying needs, such as pizza, donuts, or fried chicken.

At a **36 1/4-inch working height**, it offers ergonomic comfort for staff while requiring only a **6-inch clearance** from combustible materials, making it ideal for commercial settings with limited space. This model is part of Vulcan’s **PowerFry5 VK85 line**, renowned for its precision and efficiency. The **twin fry baskets** with plastic-coated handles streamline operations, allowing for quick loading and unloading—essential for keeping up with demand in fast-paced kitchens.
