Vulcan 4TR45DF Description
Featured in the PowerFry3™ series, the Vulcan 4TR45DF freestanding fryer has four stainless steel fry tanks, each of which can hold as much as 50 pounds of oil or shortening, and a stainless steel base. The tank establishes a 361⁄4-inch working height to ease access to the frying area. This unit comes with four sets of twin fryer baskets to hold breaded goods during cooking processes, and to reduce heat transfer during transportation, these baskets have plastic-coated handles. For cleaning, users can empty the tank using the 11⁄4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, and scrub the interior with the included tank brush and clean-out rod. After running the boil-out solution through the tank, staff can select the automatic boil-out mode to remove the solvent. So users can move the unit for maintenance, it's mounted on four 6-inch swivel casters— two have brakes for enhanced stability. Overall, this fryer measures 62 inches wide by 301⁄8 inches deep by 471⁄8 inches high.
For efficient frying with fast heat recovery, this unit generates set temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit using a ThreePass™ heating system. These temperatures can be observed through the digital thermostat in Celsius or Fahrenheit. To reduce the risk of overcooking, this system has two countdown timers that assist staff with cooking using actual or compensating time. To use solid shortening, it features three melt modes to dissolve dense frying compounds, and when the unit is stagnant it only uses 4,318 BTUs for energy conservation.
The Vulcan 4TR45DF natural gas fryer operates with an electronic SoftStart™ ignition system that heats the oil while minimizing scorch risks. So the unit doesn't exceed the maximum temperature setting, it features a hi-limit shut-off system. To preserve oil taste and color, its "V"-shaped cold zone traps debris that could otherwise burn. The integrated Kleenscreen Plus® filtration system further extends oil life by trapping particulates 40 to 60 times smaller than paper filters. While a stainless steel mesh screen catches debris from two sides, the push-button-activated motor and pump circulate oil at 8 gallons per minute for efficient filtration. Polluted oil is collected in the stainless steel filter pan, which can hold as much as 70 pounds of waste; this pan can be emptied through the 6-foot, high-temperature discard hose. Prior to draining, users should engage the drain valve interlock switch to disconnect the gas channel.
