Vulcan 2TR85AF Description
To conserve space while promoting efficiency, the Vulcan 2TR85AF freestanding gas fryer's 42-inch-wide by 3419⁄50-inch-deep by 421⁄4-inch-tall body features two 90-pound-capacity frypots. Both frypots have individual solid-state analog knob controls to accommodate foods with different cooking requirements with minimal flavor transfer. The analog knobs located behind the cabinet doors enable employees to set the oil temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit and choose from one of the fat-melt modes when using solid shortening. Once the temperature is set, the SoftStart™ ignition system quickly warms the oil by outputting 45,000 BTUs per hour. The ThreePass™ heat transfer system uniformly disperses heat throughout the oil to yield high cooking and thermal efficiency, and to maintain desired temperatures, the idle temperature mode only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour for energy conservation.
To extend oil life, the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is housed in a pull-out drawer in the unit's base. Users can initiate a filtration cycle with the push of a button, causing the pump and motor to circulate oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate. To streamline the process, the drain interlock switch automatically turns off the gas burners as oil is draining, while the stainless steel mesh filter screen filters from two sides. Its seamless stainless steel filter pan can hold 110 pounds of oil, and once the filter drawer is closed, the hands-free oil-return tube adds filtered oil back to the unit.
Both frypots in the Vulcan 2TR85AF high-efficiency gas fryer include twin baskets that accommodate an array of breaded products—from french fries to fish filets. The baskets' structures ensure contents are secure as they're lowered into the vats and removed from the oil, and for enhanced safety, the handles are coated with plastic. To provide durability through high-volume use, the cabinet and fry tanks are made of rugged, corrosion- and rust-resistant stainless steel. Operators can wheel this unit out of the way to clean the floor or perform routine maintenance because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters. Two of these casters include locks to secure the fryer in place.
