Vulcan 1TR85CF Description
Designed to simplify operation, the Vulcan 1TR85CF PowerFry3™ LP gas fryer is built with programmable computer controls and a digital character display. Operators can set timers for 10 common menu items, and the display will provide readouts of the product name and cook time. By using a USB interface, staff can upload menu timers offline. The unit's temperature can be adjusted from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, and the digital display provides an accurate readout so employees can ensure foods are cooked at appropriate temperatures. To melt shortening and protect the frypot's welded joints from damage, the control panel features three melt modes.
To conserve energy and maximize efficiency, this fryer features a ThreePass™ heat transfer system, which harnesses energy and evenly distributes heat throughout the oil to yield 72 percent thermal efficiency and 60 percent cooking efficiency. Its SoftStart™ ignition system outputs 45,000 BTUs per hour to heat oil quickly while extending its oil life. To maintain idle temperatures, the fryer only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour to save energy. With the push of a button, staff can initiate the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration cycle, which removes impurities and prolongs oil life to save operators money.
The Vulcan 1TR85CF high-efficiency commercial fryer is a freestanding unit made of durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its 21-inch-wide by 343⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄8-inch-tall structure establishes a comfortable 361⁄4-inch working height. The 191⁄2-inch-wide by 181⁄4-inch-deep frypot can accommodate 90 pounds of oil, and the included fryer baskets can be used in the fry tank simultaneously to contain different foods. To minimize the risk of burns, the baskets' handles are plastic coated. This gas-powered unit is fitted with four 6-inch casters for smooth mobility, and two of the casters can be locked to ensure it remains stable during use.
