Long and healthy oil life

Frying oil management

Oil is a complex and expensive commodity; managing it efficiently saves processing costs and ensures consistently high food quality for the consumer.

Effective frying oil management for consistent product quality and reduced costs

In a highly competitive market, there is considerable pressure on convenience food producers to provide excellent products at the lowest possible price. As a result, many manufacturers are becoming increasingly interested in efficient frying oil management - which brings two valuable benefits: keeping oil consumption to a minimum and maintaining optimum product quality and appearance.

Main applications

Frying oil filtration with GEA Oberlin | Fried products

GEA Frying Oil Management is validated with GEA Fryers and GEA Oberlin Frying Oil Filters and is suitable for processing tempura-coated and breaded products, such as chicken nuggets, meatless snacks or fish fingers, and non-coated fried pork and vegetarian fried products.

Selecting a fryer requires great care

  • A machine built to your precise process specifications will give better results and cost efficiency than a remanufactured or over-dimensioned fryer
  • If your fryer is too large, the oil retention time in the fryer will be relatively long and its quality will drop more quickly than with a smaller fryer
  • The final result could be a situation where oil has to be thrown away and replaced, leading to additional costs that would not have occurred with the right fryer

GEA fryers aid good oil management

  • GEA fryers require a minimum quantity of oil thanks to their compact heat exchangers and integrated filter systems
  • Resulting in fast oil turnover and consistently high-quality foods
  • Designed to help you get the most from your oil, by protecting it from sediment, water, oxidation and light, to ensure the highest quality of your fried products

More effective sediment removal with external filter

  • Good filtration is essential to prolong the lifespan of your frying oil, promote high product quality and minimize waste
  • GEA Oberlin Filter range offers an advanced, high-performance solution that suits perfectly the GEA fryer range
  • Available in three different capacities
