Vulcan 1TR45C Description
The Vulcan 1TR45C gas fryer has a vat that can support 45 to 50 pounds of oil, which can be heated to temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Its body features a stainless steel construction and measures 151/2 inches wide by 301/8 inches deep by 471/8 inches high. To simplify transportation, it rests on four 6-inch casters, two of which can be locked for stability during use. It comes with two 61/2-inch-wide by 131/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high frying baskets that feature plastic coated handles.
Powered by natural gas, the Vulcan 1TR45C PowerFry3™ fryer comes with several features to create high-quality fried chicken, onion rings, or donuts. Its ThreePass™ heating system offers three melt cycles to accommodate various shortening types, and it increases the heat transfer area to maximize efficiency. Its SoftStart™ electronic ignition system outputs 35,000 BTU per hour during startup, while its maximum output is 70,000 BTU; when idle, it lowers output to only 4,318 BTU per hour.
