Vulcan 1TR45AF Description
The Vulcan 1TR45AF PowerFry3™ fryer has a stainless steel fry tank with a capacity of 45-50 pounds. Two fry baskets are included to fry two batches of product at once, and it adjusts from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit to suit different applications. It idles to maintain the cooking temperature while saving energy, and the ThreePass™ heat transfer system increases cooking efficiency. To extend the life of the oil and lower the BTUs, the unit uses a SoftStart™ ignition system. A tank brush and clean-out rod simplify cleaning, and the unit can be moved on 6-inch adjustable casters. Two of the casters lock to hold the unit in place while cooking.
A KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is built into the Vulcan 1TR45AF PowerFry3 fryer to ensure oil does not transfer flavors from previous batches. The filter pan is made of stainless steel and has a 70-pound capacity. With the 1⁄3 horsepower motor and pump, the frying compound is circulated at 8 gallons per minute. These parts are activated with a one-touch push button switch. When oil is draining, the gas burners automatically shut off through the interlock switch.
