Vulcan 1TR85DF Description
Designed to enhance energy efficiency while reducing cook times, the Vulcan 1TR85DF PowerFry3™ gas fryer features a 90-pound-capacity, 191⁄2-inch-wide by 181⁄4-inch-deep frypot and uses a ThreePass™ heat transfer system to maximize heat transfer from the burners to the oil. For simple startup, this unit features electronic ignition, and operators can set unit temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the digital display. To accommodate solid shortening, it includes three melt modes. Users can set two countdown timers to minimize the chance of undercooking or burning product. The SoftStart™ ignition system outputs 45,000 BTUs per hour to increase oil temperature slowly and reduce the risk of scorching the oil.
Once the desired temperature is reached, staff can initiate the idle temperature setting, which only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour. The flue doesn't exceed 750 degrees Fahrenheit when the unit is operating at a maximum production rate, and a hi-limit shutoff mechanism turns the unit off if temperatures exceed the set range. To extend oil life, this freestanding unit is equipped with the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system, which features a stainless steel mesh screen that filters out particulates from two sides. Operators can activate the motor or pump with the push of a button for simple operation. Because its motor and pump feature an 8-gallon-per-minute flow rate, they reduce the time required to filter oil. For thorough cleaning, employees can use the Boil Out By-Pass™ mechanism to remove residual boil-out solution. The lightweight, one-piece filter pan can be removed and washed in a dishmachine.
The Vulcan 1TR85DF LP-gas-powered fryer provides a comfortable 361⁄4-inch working height and measures 21 inches wide by 343⁄8 inches deep by 471⁄8 inches tall overall. Its stainless steel cabinet and frypot are durable enough to withstand medium- to high-volume back-of-house use. To streamline frying, this unit includes twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to minimize burn risk. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, it's simple to move; two of these casters include brakes to ensure stability during operation. Oil can be drained from the 11⁄4-inch port ball-type drain valve, and the tank brush and clean-out rod simplify cleaning the frypot.
