Vulcan 1TR85A Description
To maximize energy efficiency while uniformly distributing heat throughout cooking oil, the Vulcan 1TR85A PowerFry3™ commercial gas fryer features a ThreePass™ heat transfer system, which yields 60 percent cooking efficiency and 72 percent thermal efficiency. Operators can set the unit's temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the solid-state analog knob behind the door. If solid shortening is being used, staff can select one of the control's fat-melt modes to prolong the shortening's life and minimize damage to the frypot's welded joints. The SoftStart™ ignition system quickly heats oil while outputting 45,000 BTUs per hour to extend oil life. Because the unit only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour when idle, it aids in conserving energy. Overall, the unit's 191⁄2-inch-wide by 181⁄4-inch-deep frypot can hold 90 pounds of oil.
The Vulcan 1TR85A LP-gas-powered freestanding fryer is equipped with twin fryer baskets that contain battered okra, pickles, chicken, and fish during frying. To minimize heat transfer when retrieving the baskets, their handles are coated with plastic. This 21-inch-wide by 343⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄8-inch-tall unit establishes an ergonomic 361⁄4-inch working height. For lasting corrosion-resistant durability, the frypot and cabinet are made of stainless steel. Because it's positioned on four 6-inch smooth-rolling casters, it's simple to move for cleaning or maintenance. Two of the casters can be locked to stabilize the fryer during use.
