Vulcan 3TR85CF Description
The Vulcan 3TR85CF PowerFry3™ high-efficiency gas fryer is divided into three 90-pound-capacity vats with independent computer controls so different breaded foods can be fried at specific temperatures simultaneously. Staff can electrically ignite each fryer to streamline setup, then set the temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, initiate one of the three fat-melt modes, and choose to cook with actual or compensating time. Common menu items, and their cook times, can be programmed into the system using a USB interface. The digital display provides temperature readouts in Celsius and Fahrenheit so users can ensure the fryers are set to the correct heat. To enhance efficiency and save energy, this unit's ThreePass™ heat transfer system evenly disperses heat throughout the oil, while the SoftStart™ ignition system rapidly warms oil while only outputting half of the unit's maximum hourly BTU output. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature mode only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour.
This commercial fryer system's fryer baskets secure chicken, tofu, dumplings, fish, and vegetables in place during frying; to reduce heat transfer and enhance employee safety, their handles are coated with plastic. For user comfort, this 63-inch-wide by 343⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄8-inch-tall piece establishes a 361⁄4-inch working height. Its cabinet and frypots are made of durable, rust- and dent-resistant stainless steel to withstand high-volume back-of-house use, and because it's positioned on four 6-inch casters, it's simple to transport for cleaning or maintenance. Two of the casters feature locks to secure it in place during operation.
The Vulcan 3TR85CF commercial gas fryer is built with a KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system on a pull-out base drawer. For simple, hands-free filtration, its motor and pump can be activated with the push of a button, circulating 8 gallons of oil per minute. Its stainless steel mesh screen filters out particulates from two sides; once the oil is filtered, it can be directed back to the frypots with the oil-return tube when the filtration drawer is pushed in.
