Vulcan 1VEG35M Floor Fryer 25-30LB

Brand

Vulcan

The Vulcan 1VEG35M freestanding entry-level gas fryer features a 14-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep tank that accommodates 35 to 40 pounds of shortening so staff can fry shrimp, fish, chicken, tofu, and vegetables. The included twin fry baskets ensure foods remain in place as they're fried, and their plastic-coated handles ease basket transportation while protecting users from burns. Operators can set the unit's temperature from 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit using the snap-action millivolt thermostat control, which is located behind the front stainless steel door. To maximize heat transfer throughout the oil, it's built with three exchanger tubes. If the unit's heat is out of the set range, the high-temperature limit control shuts off the gas supply to the main burners and standing pilot. A large cold zone beneath the burner tubes provides a place for sediment to settle without burning, which could affect the oil's taste. To withstand high-volume back-of-house use, the Vulcan 1VEG35M commercial gas fryer's fry tank and door are made of stainless steel, while the sides and back are coated with a high-grade G90 galvanized finish that resists corrosion. The front door provides access to the cabinet, and to ensure it's closed during use, it's built with an Earth magnet. Its 345⁄8-inch working height promotes user comfort, while its four nickel-plated legs can be raised or lowered to stabilize the unit on uneven surfaces to reduce rocking and wobbling. Overall, this fryer measures 151⁄2 inches wide by 293⁄4 inches deep by 465⁄8 inches tall and requires a 6-inch clearance on the sides and back—great for kitchens with limited space.
