If you are in search of a highly efficient gas fryer that can hold 45-50 lbs of oil, the Vulcan 1TR45A PowerFry3™ Fryer is an excellent choice. This fryer is not only ENERGYSTAR® qualified, but it is also one of the most efficient commercial deep fryers available on the market.
The efficiency of this fryer is due to its ThreePass™ heat transfer system. Unlike most fryers that use straight gas tubes to transfer heat to the frying oil, Vulcan has heat exchange tubes with two bends, providing more surface area to heat the oil without requiring additional burners. This design results in a 60% cooking efficiency and a 72% thermal efficiency. To prolong the life of the oil, this fryer features SoftStart™, which only uses 35,000 BTU/hr when warming up the oil. When idle, this fryer only uses 4,318 BTU/hr to maintain the cooking temperature.
Controlling the temperature of this fryer is simple with the solid stat analog knob located behind the door. The temperature can be adjusted between 200°F and 390°F. For added convenience, the fryer has an electronic ignition that quickly starts the fryer, and fat melt modes eliminate the guesswork when bringing lard to a boil.
The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are constructed of stainless steel, making cleaning and maintenance as easy as possible. The fryer is mounted on adjustable 6" casters, allowing for easy movement while keeping it level. Twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a cleanout rod, and a tank brush are also included.
This fryer requires a total input of 70,000 BTU/hr and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug.
Standard features of this fryer include a hi-limit shut-off, stainless steel cabinet, electronic matchless ignition, tank brush and clean-out rod, a 1 1/4" port ball type drain valve, a set of four 6" adjustable casters (2 locking), and twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles. The fryer also maintains an idle temperature setting with only 4,318 BTU/hr to save energy. The stainless steel fry tank has a 45-50 lb capacity and includes a 10-year limited tank warranty. The energy-saving SoftStart™ ignition system extends the life of the oil while requiring lower BTUs. The fryer also
