Maximum Control

Equipped with solid-state digital controls, this unit features two countdown timers, compensating time adjustment, and an automated temperature control boil-out mode. The temperature can be adjusted from 200-390 degrees Fahrenheit, and the control allows the unit to react within 2 degrees Fahrenheit of the set temperature, which provides faster recovery and improves overall performance. A SoftStart ignition system combines with three selectable melt modes to allow you to gradually heat up your oil and help preserve its life, while also using fewer BTUs.

Powerful Operation

With an oil capacity of 45-50 lb., this Vulcan PowerFry5 natural gas floor fryer is packed with great benefits to make your frying experience as easy and efficient as possible. Boasting a 14" x 14" frying area, this tube-style fryer delivers 70,000 BTU of power and comes with two twin fry baskets, so you can get to frying as soon as you fill the tank!

Boasts Quick Recovery

This fryer features Vulcan's exclusive FivePass heat transfer system that passes heat to the oil for a much quicker recovery, yielding 66% cooking and 78% thermal efficiency.

Energy-Efficient

By maintaining an idle temperature setting that only uses 4,251 BTU of power, the fryer conserves energy and proves to be a very efficient addition to your equipment lineup.

Excellent Safety Features

At its maximum production rate, the flue temperatures are less than 500 degrees Fahrenheit! Plus, to ensure safety for all employees, a hi-limit indicator shuts off the gas connection and standing pilot if the oil temperatures get too high. A large V-shaped cold zone at the bottom of the fry tank prevents crumbs and other debris from burning, which extends the life of your shortening and improves the taste of the product. A 1 1/4" full-port drain valve makes oil removal a quick and hassle-free process.

Can I modify this item?
We offer certain optional modifications for this item. If you are interested in more information for modifying this unit, please fill out this form, Special Order Request Form, and a member of our Custom Quote team will be in touch in 1-2 business days!
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
