Industrial oil filter for frying sediment removal
Enhance frying efficiency and product quality by removing fine sediment particles from frying oil, extending oil life and maintaining consistent flavor without frequent changes.

The Alco Oil Filter AOF from JBT ALCO is designed to maintain high-quality frying oil by continuously filtering out sediment, enhancing production efficiency in the food industry. Its unique capability to separate particles down to 1 µm ensures consistent flavor and color in end products such as fried chicken nuggets, battered fish fillets, and potato chips. Operating on a continuous basis, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, minimizing downtime with its efficient on-the-fly filtration. With a filtration cake retaining only about 5% residual oil, this system reduces waste and operating costs while supporting food processors, poultry, meat, seafood, and vegetable manufacturers with its robust construction and low maintenance requirements.
