OIL FILTRATION
Deep fryers use significant volumes of cooking oil – a commodity that has become extremely expensive of late. To extend the life of cooking oil and ensure the best cooking outcomes in terms of taste, smell and colour, daily filtration is necessary. Filtration though, can be time-consuming, potentially dangerous, and only as effective as the filter is good.
Vortech now introduces the perfect solution; a pre-programmed, portable filtration system that will filter your deep fryer oil in 4.5 minutes, even when the oil is hot.
Simply submerge the VITO Oil Filtration machine directly into the deep fryer and press go. The machine then sucks up all the oil and food particles, passes it through a micro filter and returns the clean oil back into the fryer. Job done.
Extend the life of your cooking oil and save 50% of your oil bill.
Better Oil, Less Oil
Filtering cooking oil on a daily basis removes food particles and bonded oil molecules from the rest of the cooking oil.
By frequently filtering out food particles, users can remove food from the bottom of the fryer before it begins to burn and negatively affect the taste and colour of your food. By removing bonded oil molecules, cooking oil doesn’t become thick – and thick oil increases cooking time and makes food taste ‘oily’ rather than ‘crispy’.
All of this means that kitchens that filter their oil are able to use it for longer – in fact, using VITO technology, for up to twice as long!
Save up to 50% of your monthly cooking oil bill.
SAFE & EASY TO USE
VITO filtration systems are engineered to handle hot oil (up to 200 degrees Celsius), which makes using VITO really safe and easy.
Staff don’t have to risk moving or handling dangerously hot oil and no-one needs to wait for the oil to cool down. Simply submerge the portable machine into the deep fryer (restaurants) or insert the vacuum hose into the fryer bath (food manufacturers) and press ‘start’.
And with a filtration time of just a few minutes, there’s never an excuse for not getting the job done.
Save time and labour every day.
FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
VITO systems are designed to vacuum up food sediment that has settled at the bottom of the fryer and pass this, together with all the hot oil, through a particle filter that provides microfiltration up to 5 µm (200µin).
Filters are supplied by Vortech as part of the monthly contract and are easily swapped out by the kitchen staff. Depending on the level of filtration required and volume of oil that needs to be processed, filters should be swapped out every 6 – 10 filtrations.
VITO OIL SYSTEMS
We offer a range of VITO Oil Filtration systems suitable for a variety of applications.
For fast food outlets, restaurants, hotels and corporate canteens and our most popular items are VITO’s Portable units, with the VITO VM/50 and the VITO VL/80 being the most popular. Larger food producers, manufacturers and factory and mining canteens may need larger filtration systems such as the VITO Mobile range, such as the VITO XM.
A site assessment will help us determine which solution is best for you.
