Vulcan 1048 50" Electric Cheesemelter, 4.8 kW Quartz Infrared, 4 Rack Positions, 208/240V Single Phase
A 50" quartz-heated cheesemelter that melts, browns and holds plates right at the pass.
The Vulcan 1048 is a 50" Core Series electric cheesemelter for finishing nachos, melts, casseroles and plated dishes. Top-mounted quartz infrared heaters come on instantly. The unit idles at 25% heat and goes to full power when a plate is placed on the rack. It runs on 208V or 240V single phase at 4.8 kW and sits on the counter on its 4" legs or mounts on the wall.
Check counter or wall space for the 50" width and 17-1/8" depth, and keep 3" to combustible side walls.
A micro switch in the rack sends the heaters to 100% when product is placed on it. With no product, the unit idles at 25% heat to save energy.
Top-mounted quartz infrared tube heaters give instant on, instant off, even heat. They snap in for easy replacement.
The rack adjusts to four heights, with 2", 3-1/2", 4-3/4" or 6" clearance to the top for thin melts or taller plates.
Solid state controls with a fan-cooled electrical compartment. The 1048 adds separate right and left heater On switches with lights.
Stainless steel top, inside, sides and fasteners, with 1" of insulation on the top, sides and back.
208V or 240V single phase. Vulcan asks you to specify the voltage when ordering. The 1048 is rated 4.8 kW.
