Keating Portable Filter
SAVE ON OIL COSTS

Keating’s Nutroilator® System combines the advantages of low temperature cooking, Cold Zone sedimentation and a one-step, multi-layered filter to purify oil. Cooking temperature, moisture and oxidation are the main causes of oil breakdown. Nutroilation conditions oil and removes free fatty acids, which if done on a regular basis, extends the life of the oil.

FAST AND EASY FILTRATION

The high capacity pump filters five gallons of oil per minute. Simply roll Keating’s Portable Filter under the fryer drain valve and place hose in fryer vessel. Empty oil into filter vessel, close drain valve and switch on filter pump while holding the hose nozzle. Crumbs, debris and contaminants are removed and oil is purified. When solidified shortening is present, the built-in melt cycle safely melts it to prevent it from clogging the filter.

EFFECTIVELY REMOVES FOOD PARTICLES

The multi-layered filtration system removes food particles. The optional strainer basket separates large crumbs from the oil and traps them before entering the filter. The remaining oil is conditioned by Keating’s Acidox filteringn compound to remove fatty acids and then pumped through filter paper to remove any remaining debris.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION ENSURES SAFE FILTERING

The deep stainless steel construction of the filter vessel safely holds hot oil during filtration. The heavy duty handle and polyurethane casters give you more control while maneuvering the filter. The 5-ft hose has an adjustable angled nozzle with safety handle to safely pump filtered oil.
