Product Description
The Vito VL is a self-contained oil filtration unit designed to extend the working life of cooking oil in commercial fryers. It operates directly in the oil tank while the oil is still at cooking temperature, running a short filtration cycle that removes fine food particles down to 5 microns. The result is cleaner oil that degrades more slowly, producing better-tasting fried food without interrupting service.
In a busy kitchen environment, oil quality deteriorates quickly under continuous use. Regular filtration with the Vito VL slows that degradation noticeably, and in practice many operators find their oil consumption reduces significantly when filtration is built into a daily routine. Because the unit works in hot oil, there is no cooling-down period required — the cycle can run between service periods without disrupting the kitchen's workflow. The VitoConnect monitoring system provides a log of filter use and oil savings, which is useful for operators tracking consumable costs across a site.
From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Reduced oil consumption and procurement costs over time
- Fewer full fryer clean-downs required, saving labour each day
- Consistent oil quality means more consistent food quality across service
- Suitable for most freestanding gas and electric fryers with tanks from 20 litres
- Stainless steel construction handles repeated immersion in hot oil reliably
Installation in the traditional sense does not apply here — the Vito VL is a portable unit that requires no fixed plumbing or electrical connection to the fryer itself. It will need a standard power supply nearby. The unit weighs 10.5kg, so it is straightforward to move between fryers where needed, though operators with multiple high-volume fryers running simultaneously may want to consider whether a single unit is sufficient for their throughput.
The Vito VL is well suited to mid-volume operations — fish and chip shops, pub kitchens, casual dining sites, and contract catering environments where frying is a regular part of the menu. For very high-volume frying operations running multiple large-capacity fryers continuously, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity filtration solution would serve better.
If you are unsure whether the Vito VL is the right fit for your fryer setup or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Most operators filter once or twice daily, typically between service periods, though the right frequency depends on how heavily the fryer is used and what is being cooked. High-turnover frying — battered fish, for example — breaks oil down faster, so more frequent filtration cycles will give the greatest benefit. The VitoConnect monitoring system can help you track usage and establish a routine based on your actual kitchen throughput.
- The unit is designed to work with most freestanding gas and electric fryers with oil tanks of 20 litres or more. It is a portable, immersion-based system rather than a plumbed-in attachment, so there is no permanent modification to your fryer required. If you have an unusual fryer setup or a built-in fryer arrangement, it is worth checking with us before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
- For kitchens with two or three fryers that do not all require simultaneous filtration, a single unit is generally workable — you run consecutive cycles on each fryer. Where you have a high-volume operation with several large fryers running back-to-back throughout service, the time required to complete multiple cycles may be a practical constraint, and it is worth discussing whether additional units or a higher-capacity solution would suit your operation better.
