Vulcan 4TR85CF Gas Fryer - (4) 90 Lb Vats, Floor Model, Liquid Propane
The Vulcan 4TR85CF PowerFry3® commercial gas fryer is a four-battery unit comprised of four 90-pound-capacity vats to streamline frying different products while maximizing output. Each vat comes with twin fryer baskets to simplify lowering and lifting breaded products, while their plastic-coated handles protect hands from heat transfer. For comfort throughout frying, this 84-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/4-inch-tall unit establishes an ergonomic 36 1/4-inch working height. This unit is mounted on four 6-inch casters that provide smooth mobility for repositioning, and for lasting durability in fast-paced kitchens, the vats and cabinet are made of dent-, scratch-, and rust-resistant stainless steel.
Staff can use the computer controls to adjust each vat's temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit, select from 10 menu timers, use one of three melt modes, and choose to cook with actual or compensating time. To save time setting up the vats for common menu items, users can program the required temperature and cook time for foods offline with the USB interface. The digital display provides accurate temperature readouts in Fahrenheit or Celsius; in total, this LP-gas-powered unit can output 360,000 BTUs per hour, or 90,000 BTUs per hour for each frypot. To enhance energy efficiency, its ThreePass® heat transfer system yields 72 percent thermal efficiency and 60 percent cooking efficiency, while the SoftStart® ignition system quickly heats oil while outputting only 45,000 BTUs per hour for each vat; the idle temperature setting maintains set temperatures by outputting 5,575 BTUs per vat every hour.
The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system is integrated on a pull-out drawer in the Vulcan 4TR85CF commercial fryer's cabinet base. A filtration cycle can be initiated with the push of a button, while the drain valve interlock switch turns off the gas burners as oil drains. Its 1/3-horsepower pump and motor circulate oil 8 gallons of oil per minute to expedite filtration, while the stainless steel mesh screen filter removes debris and particulates from two sides. The included stainless steel filtration pan can hold 110 pounds of oil and can be removed with ease to streamline emptying and cleaning; as the filtration drawer is pushed in, the oil-return tube self-seals to guide filtered shortening back to the four vats.
