Vulcan 2TR85DF Description
The Vulcan 2TR85DF high-efficiency freestanding gas fryer measures 42 inches wide by 3419⁄50 inches deep by 471⁄4 inches tall and is built with dual 90-pound-capacity frypots. So different foods can be cooked simultaneously, each frypot has corresponding solid-state digital controls that enable employees to set the temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, choose to cook with compensating time or actual time, select one of three melt modes, set two countdown timers, and initiate an automatic boil-out mode. Operators can lower fish filets, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and okra into the vats using the four fryer baskets, which feature plastic-coated handles to minimize heat transfer. Designed to withstand high-volume use, the cabinet and frypots are made of rigid stainless steel that resists rusting and corroding. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, maneuvering is smooth when cleaning or maintenance is required.
Designed to prolong oil's service life while enhancing efficiency, the Vulcan 2TR85DF commercial gas fryer is part of the PowerFry3™ collection, which features a ThreePass™ heat transfer system that evenly disperses heat throughout oil to yield 60 percent cooking efficiency and 72 percent thermal efficiency. Its SoftStart™ ignition system quickly warms the oil by outputting 45,000 BTUs per hour—half of the unit's hourly BTU capability. The idle temperature mode outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour to maintain the set temperature once it's reached. At the base of the fryer, the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration unit is integrated into a pull-out drawer. Because operators can initiate a filtration cycle with the push of a button, this system encourages frequent filtration to extend oil life. The motor and pump circulate oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate, while the stainless steel filter pan can hold 110 pounds of oil. The oil-return line automatically adds filtered oil back to the frypot once the filter drawer is closed.
