Vulcan 3TR85AF Gas Fryer - (3) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Natural Gas

The Vulcan 3TR85AF PowerFry3® floor-model fryer is comprised of three 90-pound-capacity frypotsa€”great for frying chicken, fish, dumplings, and potatoes without transferring flavor. Each vat has a corresponding solid-state analog knob control so their temperatures can be set between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. When using solid shortening, operators can choose from one of the fat-melt modes. Once the temperature is set, the SoftStart® ignition system quickly increases oil temperature, outputting 45,000 BTUs per hour to conserve energy. To yield 72 percent thermal efficiency and 60 percent cooking efficiency, it features a ThreePass® heat transfer system that effectively distributes heat through the oil to reduce lag time between recovery. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature setting outputs 5,575 BTUs per hour to maintain heat and reduce energy usage.

To promote user safety during frying, each fryer includes twin fryer baskets featuring plastic-coated handles that minimize heat transfer to employees' palms. The unit's base is divided into three separate cabinets so users can access the filtration system and analog controls without opening all the doors at once. This durable, 63-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel unit is simple to clean and can withstand daily high-volume use. Because it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, it's uncomplicated to maneuver when maintenance and cleaning are required; two of these casters can be locked to secure the unit in place during operation. Operators can drain oil from the 1 1/4-inch port ball-type drain valve and clean the tank and drain with the included tank brush and clean-out rod.

The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is built into the base of the Vulcan 3TR85AF high-efficiency gas fryer's cabinet on a pull-out drawer for easy access. To promote frequent filtration, it features a one-touch push button that initiates a filtration cycle. While the drain valve interlock switch automatically turns off the burners when the oil drains, the 1/3-horsepower motor and pump circulate hot oil at an 8-gallon-per-minute rate to expedite the filtration process. Its stainless steel mesh filter screen removes particulates from two sides to establish a 270-to-350-square-inch filter area. Oil is dispensed into the seamless 110-pound-capacity stainless steel filter pan, and to minimize hands-on requirements, the oil-return tube automatically adds filtered oil back to the frypots once the filter drawer is closed.
