3HG45CF

Overview

The Hobart 3HG45CF (ML-136467) is a three-vat battery fryer from the HG Series with Kleen Screen Plus. It is covered by Hobart's catalog of replacement parts, FORM 43108 Rev. B (February 2009), which lists it alongside the rest of the HG family — related models in the same manual include the 2HG45DF, 2HG65CF, 3HG65CF, 4HG45DF and the earlier MF versions. The fryer sits in the HG45 size class: the 45-lb rating appears on the drain components for this series, and the leading 3 in the model number denotes the three-vat battery format, matched in the parts list by left-hand, center and end drain pipes for the 45-lb units.

Key Features

• Kleen Screen Plus filtration: the parts list includes a dedicated pump motor, an oil suction receptacle (00-426567-00003) sealed with Viton o-rings (00-426567-00002, 2 required), flexible tubes in 12 in. and 19 in. lengths, a 19 in. suction flex tube, a check valve (00-418786-00001) and a 90-degree swivel fitting (00-419251-00001).
• Stainless steel vats: the HG45 and HG85 series share Tank Assy. (SST) 00-499701-000G2, the tank assembly that applies to this model.
• 1-1/4 in. ball drain valves: listed as 00-426803-000G2, with a 45-lb version under 00-414212-00006, feeding drain pipes with spouts (left-hand 00-497567-000G1, center 00-497569-000G1 and end 00-497566-000G1 for the 45-lb series).

• Filter pump motor options by build date: units built before 1/02/07 used 120 V/60 Hz, 208 V/50-60 Hz or 230 V/50-60 Hz pump motors; units built on or after 1/02/07 use 115 V/50-60 Hz, 208 V/50-60 Hz or 230 V/50-60 Hz versions.
• Model-specific motor mounting: the HG45CF/DF uses its own motor mounting base (00-418484-00001), separate from the base listed for HG65/85 CF/DF units (00-418513-00001).

Replacement Parts from PartHubz

PartHubz supplies replacement parts for the 3HG45CF and provides the HG Series parts manual (FORM 43108 Rev. B, February 2009) that covers this model. When ordering, having the ML number (ML-136467) and, where relevant, the build date relative to 1/02/07 helps match the correct pump motor and related components, since several parts changed at that date.

Components that come up most often in service on this family include the tank assembly, the ball drain valves and drain pipes with spouts, the drain valve interlock switch, the filter pump motor with its mounting plate, shroud and base, the oil suction receptacle with its Viton o-rings, the flexible suction tubes, the check valve, the 90-degree swivel fitting, and the ignition relay and microswitches. Screws such as the SC-060-23 are also listed for this model.

Applications

A three-vat battery with 45-lb vats and built-in filtration is the format kitchens choose when frying volume justifies multiple vats running at once. A typical setup runs one vat for french fries and other sides, one for breaded items such as chicken or fish, and one for specialty menu items, so flavors and breading stay where they belong. The Kleen Screen Plus system supports the end-of-shift filtering routine many operations run to stretch oil life between changes. This family is at home in full-service restaurants, pubs, diners, cafeterias and institutional kitchens — anywhere a fryer battery runs for long stretches and a failed drain valve, pump motor or ignition component needs to be replaced with the right part number the first time.
