The primary objective of an oil filtration system is to return clean oil back to the fryer and prolong the life of the oil. Oil filters capture crumbs and other particles, thus improving the quality of fried food. This lowers frying costs and hygienically cleans fryers while reducing odors.

     The oil filtration system contains a hose which can withstand high temperatures and rides on wheels for easy transport. In order to keep oil from degrading, it must be filtered at the end of each kitchen session. A sure sign of deterioration occurs when the oil thickens, darkens in color, and begins to foam and smoke. You can also tell by tasting the food you are frying. As oil thickens, more is absorbed in the food which results in a darker, oilier flavor. Carbon buildup on frying baskets can also result in the deterioration of oil, so it’s necessary to keep other frying equipment maintained as well for quality fried products.
