The Vulcan 4VK85DF Gas Fryer is a powerhouse in the PowerFry5™ series, built for high-volume commercial kitchens that demand efficiency, reliability, and energy savings. With four 90lb vats, this natural gas fryer is ideal for restaurants, fast-food chains, and foodservice operations that need to fry large batches of breaded items with precision and speed. Its ThreePass™ heat system ensures even oil distribution, while SoftStart™ technology reduces BTU usage by up to 50% at startup, extending oil life and lowering energy costs. The solid-state digital controls allow operators to adjust temperatures between 200°F and 390°F, with rapid heat recovery to minimize lag time when frying new products. A hi-limit shutoff system prevents overheating by disabling the fryer if temperatures exceed 465°F, ensuring both safety and operational efficiency. During slower periods, the fryer automatically reduces energy usage to 6,298 BTU per hour, saving on utility costs without compromising performance. With three melt modes, it accommodates different types of shortening, making it a versatile choice for any commercial kitchen. Whether you're outfitting a fast-food chain, a casual dining restaurant, or a high-volume catering operation, the Vulcan 4VK85DF delivers the throughput, energy efficiency, and durability that restaurant owners and managers demand. Invest in a fryer that works as hard as your kitchen does—choose Vulcan.
