How frequently do I have to filter my oil to maximize the life of my oil?
A minimum of once per day, but twice daily is ideal. Remember that filtration helps keep clean oil clean, it doesn't make bad oil clean.
How long does the filtration process take?
For a 50 lb. fryer, it takes approximately 2-3 minutes to empty, 1 to 2 minutes to clean the fryer and then about 2-3 minutes to return the oil to the fryer. So, the entire cycle takes about six to eight minutes per fryer.
Do I have to let the oil cool prior to filtration?
No, just make sure the fryer is turned off prior to filtering so the heating elements do not overheat when the oil is evacuated.
How often do I have to change the filter pads?
The pads need to be changed daily.
When do I know the oil needs to be dumped?
When the color of the oil is dark. We supply a Oil test kit with dropper so you can determine when the oil is past its prime.
Where do I buy the filtration pads?
GBS will supply and invoice a carton of 30 pads on a monthly basis.
How does the AFS help me if I currently filter with a paper filter?
The paper filter really strains the oil, it removes loose particulates up to 75 microns. The AFS system filters the oil to less than 1 micron. Although paper filtration helps, the AFS will maintain oil quality much longer. This level of filtration removes the primary impurities that cause the oil to lose quality. |
