Vulcan 1TR65A Description
For frying mozzarella sticks, chicken, fries, and other breaded foods, the Vulcan 1TR65A PowerFry3™ gas fryer can accommodate 70 pounds of oil in its 191⁄2-inch-wide by 14-inch-deep vat. Operators can set the unit's temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the solid-state analog knob control located behind the door. For simple startup, this gas-powered fryer features an electronic ignition, and staff can select fat-melt modes to heat solid shortening. To save energy and extend oil life, its SoftStart™ ignition system quickly heats oil with half of the unit's maximum BTUs per hour, and then to maintain an idle temperature, it only outputs 5,083 BTUs per hour. The ThreePass™ heat transfer system uniformly distributes heat within the cooking oil to reduce recovery times and gas usage. At the maximum production rate, the flue doesn't exceed 750 degrees Fahrenheit. If unit temperature surpasses the set temperature range, the unit will automatically shut off for user safety.
The Vulcan 1TR65A commercial gas fryer is a 21-inch-wide by 301⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄8-inch-tall freestanding unit positioned on four 6-inch casters—two of which can be locked to ensure the unit remains stable during use. For user comfort, it provides a 361⁄4-inch working height. Two fryer baskets come with this fryer to secure products in place during the frying process, and their plastic-coated handles reduce the risk of heat transfer. For lasting durability, the cabinet and fry tank are made of stainless steel—a durable, rust-resistant metal that can simply be wiped clean. This unit features a 11⁄4-inch port ball-type drain valve, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod to further ease cleaning.
