The Vulcan 1TR45C PowerFry3™ Fryer is an excellent choice for commercial kitchens in need of a highly efficient gas-heated deep fryer with a capacity of 45-50 lbs. of oil. This fryer goes beyond ENERGYSTAR® qualification and is one of the most energy-efficient options available on the market. One of the standout features of this fryer is Vulcan's ThreePass™ heat transfer system, which resembles something you would find on a racecar. This system utilizes heat exchange tubes with two bends, increasing the surface area of the gas tubes as burning gas passes through. This allows the fryer to utilize more of the heat that would typically be expelled by other commercial deep fryers. The unique design results in impressive figures: 72% thermal efficiency and 60% cooking efficiency, surpassing the competition. Additionally, the fryer features the SoftStart™ ignition system, which reduces the burn rate to 35,000 BTU/hr at startup, extending the life of the oil. When idle, the fryer only consumes 4,318 BTU/hr to maintain the oil temperature. The computer controls on this fryer make it incredibly easy to achieve consistent results with up to 10 menu items. The system can be easily updated using a USB drive, simplifying the process of deploying updates and adjusting settings across multiple fryers. The digital display shows the product name and cook times, ensuring that users have selected the correct menu item. The temperature can be accurately controlled between 200°F and 390°F, with fast recovery times. Additionally, the fryer offers three melt modes and electronic ignition for added convenience. The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are constructed from stainless steel, providing durability and making it easy to clean. The fryer is equipped with adjustable 6" casters, allowing for easy leveling and facilitating cleaning and maintenance tasks. The fryer also comes with twin fry baskets with plastic coated handles, a tank brush, and a clean-out rod. This fryer is designed to use a total gas input of 70,000 BTU/hr and comes with a NEMA 5-15P cord and plug for connection to 120v power. Overall, the Vulcan 1TR45C PowerFry3™ Fryer offers exceptional energy efficiency and a range of features that make it an ideal choice for commercial kitchens.
