The 1TR65A PowerFry3™ Fryer from Vulcan is an excellent choice for commercial kitchens in need of a highly efficient gas-heated deep fryer with a large oil capacity of 65-70 lbs. This fryer is not only ENERGYSTAR® qualified, but it is also one of the most energy-efficient commercial deep fryers available.
The ThreePass™ heat transfer system is the heart of this fryer and resembles the exhaust header of a high-performance car. The bends on the gas tube provide a larger surface area for heat transfer without requiring additional gas consumption. This unique design results in impressive figures: 72% thermal efficiency and 60% cooking efficiency, surpassing the competition. The fryer also features the SoftStart™ ignition system, which reduces the burn rate to 40,000 BTU/hr during startup to prolong the life of the oil. When idle, this fryer only consumes 5,083 BTU/hr to maintain the oil temperature.
Adjusting the cooking temperature is simple with the analog knob located behind the door, allowing for temperatures ranging from 200°F to 390°F. This fryer also offers user-selectable fat melt modes and electronic ignition.
The cabinet and fry tank of this fryer are constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
