ABSTRACT:
My invention is a portable filtration and treatment apparatus, comprising a tank, a filtering mechanism immersed in the tank (holding cooking oil), a treating mechanism preferably situated external to the tank, a pump, and a discharge. The pump draws liquid (cooking oil) from the tank through the filtering mechanism, through the treating mechanism, and back into the tank or into a cooking fryer by way of the discharge. The tank includes a moving device which allows for the portability of the apparatus. The filtering mechanism comprises a wire mesh envelope, including at least one wire mesh filter screen for filtering the cooking oil, an insert disposed within the wire mesh envelope supporting the wire mesh envelope and providing fluid communication therethrough, and a frame which holds the wire mesh envelope and the insert together. The treating mechanism is a container and is provided with an inlet and an outlet, a selectively removably attached top, and a flow baffle. The container top is sealingly attached to the container in order to effectuate a vacuum within the container upon the activation of the pump. Treating material is disposed in pouches within the treating mechanism. Cooking oil is pumped through the treating mechanism thereby contacting the treating material disposed within the treating mechanism. Treating material comprises any material, such as activated carbon, which upon contact with the cooking oil can extend the usable life of the cooking oil.
