Find Profit in Your Fryer

There’s a reason people love deep-fried food, from chicken and french fries to doughnuts and churros—it tastes delicious. And there’s a reason why most of them don’t like to deep-fry at home—oil is messy, expensive and difficult to throw away safely.

So restaurants have taken on the important responsibility of providing Americans with their favorite deep-fried foods. They have better equipment, like heavy-duty deep fryers, to make the job easier. But there’s still the problem of oil. Even in a commercial kitchen, it’s still messy and expensive.

The easiest way to cut down on the expense is to filter the oil so it can be used multiple times. These filters remove extra crumbs and bits of food that can burn and change the quality and flavor of whatever hits the deep fryer next. But not all oil filters are the same.

Double the life of your oil

The Masterfil® Reusable Fabric Filter from Oil Solutions Group is the gold standard among oil filters. While most other filters are made of paper, the Masterfil® filter is made from a sturdy, proprietary synthetic fabric that captures microscopic particles as tiny as 0.5 micron. A typical paper filter, by contrast, can only catch particles of 60-120 microns. That means the oil gets dirty faster and has to be replaced more often before it starts affecting the quality of the food. The Masterfil® filter has been shown to double the life of a batch of oil. This translates into savings up to two pounds of oil every day.

Speedy and safe cleaning

The sturdiness of the Masterfil® filter doesn’t impede the flow of oil, though. Nor does it require extra labor to work effectively. In fact, while a paper filter needs to be changed every day, a Masterfil® filter lasts for an entire week. Cleaning it takes just 90 seconds: simply scrape excess food particles off the filter and it’s good as new and ready to fry again. This reduces the environmental impact of disposable paper filters. It also saves time and keeps employees safer. Typically changing a paper filter takes up to 30 minutes and requires workers to handle potentially dangerous hot filter media.

Switching to the Masterfil® filter doesn’t require the purchase of a new fryer and typically doesn’t require any special equipment. The Masterfil® filter is compatible with all major fryer brands and installation is a breeze.

All of this translates into massive savings for restaurant owners. Most Oil Solutions Group customers report a ROI within the first month and save an average of $3,000 a year. In fact, OSG is so confident in the Masterfil® filter that it offers a 100% satisfaction guaranteed warranty.
