Vulcan 3TR85DF Description
The Vulcan 3TR85DF floor model gas fryer measures 63 inches wide by 343⁄8 inches deep by 471⁄8 inches tall, creates a 361⁄4-inch-tall working height, and is divided into three fry tanks. Each frypot can hold 90 pounds of oil and includes twin fryer baskets with plastic-coated handles to reduce scalding risks when employees submerge or remove breaded meats or vegetables. The frypots and cabinet are made of stainless steel—rugged, rust- and corrosion-resistant metal that matches most back-of-house equipment and simplifies cleaning. Its base is mounted on four 6-inch casters, two of which can lock, for smooth mobility and stabilization as needed.
With the solid-state digital controls, operators can set each fryer's temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, choose from three fat-melt modes, activate two countdown timers, cook with actual or compensating time, and activate an automatic boil-out mode. A digital display provides readouts of temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius so users can ensure the fryers are set to the appropriate temperatures. Once temperatures and other controls are set, the SoftStart™ ignition system heats oil at just 45,000 BTUs per hour per vat; the ThreePass™ heat transfer system uniformly distributes the oil to enhance cooking and thermal efficiency while reducing lag times during recovery. To maintain set heat, the idle temperature setting only outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour.
Located in the base of the Vulcan 3TR85DF PowerFry3™ high-efficiency fryer the KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system's pump and motor can circulate 8 gallons of hot oil per minute with the push of a button. Its stainless steel filter screen filters debris and particulate from two sides, establishing a filtration area from 270 to 350 square inches; its filtration pan can hold 110 pounds of oil. Once the oil is filtered, it can be guided back to the fry tanks with the oil-return tube.
