VITO VL Oil Filtration Machine for Fryers

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.
