Rankin Delux IR burners
Rankin Delux infrared burners
Rankin Delux infrared burners are high-powered ceramic components for commercial charbroilers and cheesemelters, known for delivering intense, even, and fast heat (up to 185,000 BTU/hr) to reduce cooking times, minimize meat shrinkage, and retain juices, commonly found in models like the RDCM series, often replacing parts in equipment from brands like Garland, Vulcan, and US Range. These burners use radiant heat, providing instant high temperatures ideal for searing meats, with key components like ceramic plates and orifices that sometimes require specific replacements.
Key Features & Functionality
- High Heat Output: Delivers significant BTU/hr, enabling rapid searing and high-temperature cooking.
- Infrared Technology: Heats food directly via radiant energy, similar to sunlight, for efficient cooking.
- Reduced Shrinkage: Helps keep food moist by cooking quickly and efficiently.
- Ceramic Design: Features a ceramic burn area that gets intensely hot for cooking.
- Versatile Compatibility: Used in Rankin Delux cheesemelters (RDCM, RDGM) and compatible with broilers from Garland, Vulcan, and US Range.
Common Models & Parts
- RDCM-08: A popular model for 15-inch units, featuring a #46 orifice and high BTU.
- RDCM-08A: Another common variant, often used in 27-inch or larger equipment.
- Replacement Parts: Often sold with specific orifices (#40 or #46) and brackets for natural gas or LP.
Performance & Maintenance
- Efficient Cooking: Great for steaks and chops, but can char thinner items.
- Airflow is Key: Proper air-to-gas mixture (adjustable for blue flame) is crucial for efficiency.
- Replacement Needed: Damage to ceramic tiles or blocked venturis often requires burner replacement rather than repair.
