It's just that simple. If you're restaurant is not filtering your fryer grease, you are missing out on some great costs savings. On average, recycling fryer oil by using proper filtration methods extends the life span of frying oil and reduces the costs stemming from workman's comp claims due to burns from handling hot oil. Additionally, the use of clean fryer oil extends the life of the fryers, and reduces the chances of grease pops from impurities in the oil. Down further we will discuss the options for doing this.

Outsource Oil Filtration Vs. In House

Based on our research, there are only two ways to handle oil recycling. You have to purchase your own filtration equipment (very expensive) and train your staff how to use it, or you can higher an oil filtration company. The leader in the industry is a company called Filta. You can visit their website by going to go filta. They come to your restaurant, filter your oil with their own equipment, clean and leave. It is a very efficient and cost effective process.

The other option is do it yourself filtration. If you have several restaurants this may be an option but here are several things to think about. The equipment can be relatively expensive for oil filtration. You have to do an extremely large volume to justify the cost of purchase. You also have to consider the increased risk of oil burns and a workers comp claim if your choose to do this type of thing in house. For about 96% of restaurants the best option is to go with a service.

Coincidentally, I also think Go Filta appears to be an excellent option for those looking to begin a franchise. They are in the cost reduction industry which is booming right now.
