Vulcan 1TR85AF Description
Because it can hold 85 pounds of oil and is part of the PowerFry3™ series, the Vulcan 1TR85AF freestanding gas fryer is ideal for medium- and high-traffic establishments. This 90,000-BTU-per-hour unit optimizes energy efficiency with its SoftStart™ ignition system, which outputs 45,000 BTUs per hour upon startup. The ThreePass™ heat transfer system evenly distributes heat throughout the cooking oil to yield 72 percent thermal efficiency and 60 percent cooking efficiency. Once the unit maintains an idle oil temperature, it outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour. Users can adjust the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the solid-state analog knob behind the door. To accommodate solid shortening, the control system features user-selectable fat-melt modes for flexibility.
To further extend oil life and save operators on cost, the Vulcan 1TR85AF commercial gas fryer is built with a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system. Operators can flip on the drain switch and press the filter switch to initiate removing impurities. When cleaning is required, users can drain oil from the unit's 11⁄4-inch port ball-type drain and clean the frypot with the clean-out rod and tank brush. This 21-inch-wide by 343⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄8-inch-tall unit boasts a 361⁄4-inch working height and includes a 191⁄2-inch-wide by 181⁄4-inch-deep frypot. The included twin fryer baskets can be placed in the frypot to contain mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, okra, pickles, and fries, and their plastic-coated handles enhance user safety by reducing heat transfer. To prolong its service life in high-volume kitchens, its frypot and cabinet are made of stainless steel. Because it's fitted with casters, it's simple to move, and two casters can be locked to secure the fryer in place.
