Vulcan 4TR85DF Description
Great for frying large volumes of fish, chicken, dumplings, mozzarella sticks, and other breaded favorites, the Vulcan 4TR85DF floor-model gas fryer is a four-battery unit featuring four 90-pound-capacity frypots. Each fry tank comes with a fryer basket that secures food as it's lowered, fried, and lifted; these baskets feature plastic-coated handles to protect users from becoming scalded because of heat transfer. This 84-inch-wide by 343⁄8-inch-deep by 471⁄4-inch-tall unit establishes a 361⁄4-inch working height and is made of durable stainless steel for scratch, dent, and rust resistance. Because it's positioned on four 6-inch-diameter casters, it can be transported short distances when cleaning or servicing is required. Two of these casters can be locked to secure the unit in place during operation.
To accommodate the various cooking requirements of different products, the frypots have individual digital solid-state controls. Staff can set each vat's temperature between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit, choose from three melt modes, set two countdown timers, select to cook with actual or compensating time, and start an auto boil-out cycle. Once settings are programmed, the digital display provides an accurate readout in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The SoftStart™ ignition system only outputs 45,000 BTUs per hour for each vat—half of each vat's maximum hourly BTU output—to expedite initial oil heating. To yield 60 percent cooking efficiency and 72 percent thermal efficiency, the ThreePass™ heat transfer system effectively guides heat throughout the oil. Once the set temperature is reached, the idle setting maintains it by outputting only 5,575 BTUs per hour for each fry tank.
Designed to be used twice per day, the Vulcan 4TR85DF high-efficiency freestanding fryer's KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system can be engaged with the push of a button. The 1⁄3-horsepower motor and pump circulate 8 gallons of shortening per minute, while the stainless steel mesh filter screen removes debris from two sides. As much as 110 pounds of oil can be drained into the seamless, 18-gauge stainless steel pan, which is positioned on a heavy-duty drawer assembly; users can empty this pan by lifting the large handles. To return filtered oil back to the frypots, the filtration drawer can be closed, sealing the oil-return tube.
