This fryer features a durable stainless steel cabinet paired with a stainless steel fry tank, designed for high performance and easy maintenance. It is equipped with a set of four 6-inch adjustable casters, two of which lock, allowing for stable placement and easy mobility in commercial kitchens.
As part of Vulcan’s PowerFry3 Series, this unit incorporates the patented ThreePass heat transfer system, which delivers exceptional energy efficiency, faster recovery times, and higher throughput. The fryer is ENERGY STAR certified, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
The SoftStart ignition system uses only 45,000 BTU/hr during start-up, significantly extending oil life by gently bringing the oil up to temperature. Once heated, the fryer maintains cooking temperature with an ultra-efficient idle rate of just 5,575 BTU/hr, reducing energy consumption without sacrificing performance.
For draining and cleaning, the unit includes a 1-1⁄4 inch port ball-type drain valve, along with a tank brush and clean-out rod for easy maintenance. It also comes with twin fry baskets featuring plastic-coated handles, ensuring safe and comfortable handling during busy service.
The solid-state knob control behind the door, offers accurate temperature control from 200°F to 390°F. Additional features include user selectable fat melt modes and electronic ignition.
This unit is Energy Star certified, CSA design certified and NSF listed, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and sanitation standards required in commercial foodservice environments.
This unit features a built-in filtration system. The filter vessel is made from drawn (seamless) 18-gauge stainless steel, and the removable filter pan weighs just 20.5 lbs for easy handling. A 1⁄3 HP motor and pump circulate hot oil at 8 gallons per minute, activated by a one-touch push button. Standard features include a stainless steel mesh filter screen, tank brush, clean-out rod, casters for mobility, and a hands-free oil return line connection. A drain valve interlock switch automatically shuts off the burners when the valve is opened for added safety. The system operates on a 120V, 60 Hz, single-phase power supply.
