ABSTRACT:
A deep oil fryer and filtration system is disclosed wherein the filtration system (B) is disposed within a cabinet (16) of a deep oil fryer (A) having a plurality of vats (10, 12, and 14). Filtration system (B) includes a drawer having a reservoir (20) and an adjacent utility compartment (40). A pre-filter (34) is disposed in a filter basket (30) received in reservoir (20) and spaced above a bottom wall of a reservoir by the legs (32). A drain outlet (28) from the reservoir delivers cooking oil to a pump (70). A flow line system which minimizes retention of cooking oil in the lines includes a reservoir outlet line (74), a filter inlet line (78), a filter by-pass line (80), and a return line (86). Whenever by-pass valve (82) is open and pump (70) is on, pre-filtered oil from filter (36) passes through filter inlet (50) and exits filter outlet (64) without passing through a filter element ( 48) to preheat the filter. The by-passed oil is returned to the cooking vat for rinsing out the cooking vat. When by-pass valve (82) is closed, oil entering filter inlet (50) is forced through filter element (48) on both ends (54a) and (56a). Primary filter (C) is a pressure filter which provides a final filtration of the prefiltered oil. Advantageously, pressure filter (C) includes an end cap (46) which is removable so that filter element (48) may be replaced from an opening in the oil reservoir to obtain any spillage.
