ACE Econopump 200mm

Dimensions - 2000mm High x 500 Length x 345 Wide.

For every bank of fryers sold or used, filtering machines should be used for safety, cost saving and the keeping of good quality oil

The Econopump Filter Machine has interchangeable tanks to suit fryers from 20 to 68L capacity or even greater.

It is recommended therefore that appropriate questions must be asked as to fryer size and where the outlet pipe is. If the outlet pipe in the front or under the fryer or how far back from the front the outlet pipe is.

Variable common tank sizes

615mm long x 360mm wide x 285 mm high = 36Lt suitable for 20L front outlet pipe

81 Smm long x 360mm wide x 285mm high = 53Lt suitable for 40L front outlet pipe

815mm long x 360mm wide x 335 mm high = 68Lt suitable for 40L underneath outlet

Special designs can be made to suit any other application at a small charge.

Econopump Filter Machines have interchangeable motors and pumps to the suit number of fryers, oil quantity in the fryers and the staff using the filter machine.

2-3 Fryers of up to 30Lt each suggest .33KW motor 15 Lt per minute 5-6 Fryers from 20Lt to 40Lt each. Suggest .66KW motor 25L per minute If junior employees will be using the filter machine it is suggested that the smaller motor/pump is used.


Disadvantages with manual filtering of cooking oil

* Time consuming, it can take up to 15 minutes to filter each fryer

* Standard 20Lt buckets do not fit underneath front outlet of fryers therefore 2 to 3 containers are needed to be used to empty fryers.

* Many buckets need to be lifted to refill fryer and flush out crumbs and food fines from cold spot in bottom of fryer. This could be a lift of over a meter.

* Old oil needs to be carried from shop and lifted into waste tanks outside of shop or restaurant. 5 fryers by 25 kg = 125kg to be lifted 600mm to top of waste tanks.

* 60 to 80 micron filter media is used when manual filtration is used therefore leaving food fines still in oil which means oil to deteriorate quickly. Oil life could be restricted to 3-4 Days only. (any usage of oil after this period will affect the quality of the food cooked in the oil)

* Safety in handling cooking oil by hand means that the oil must be cooled to a low temperature.


Advantages of using the Econopump Filtering system

* Simple to use and easy to clean and maintain.

* Filtration time per 15 Lt fryer is approximately 1 - 2 minutes. Drop oil 1- 2 minute. Return oil at 10 Lt per Minute = 2 - 3 minute. Total time 5 minutes.

* Econopump Filtering Machine is designed to filter cooking oil up to 160 degrees with care. All parts of the machine can take high temperature so if the operator acts in a safe and responsible way the fryer oil can be filtered at the end of a busy trading period and reheated without loosing long trading periods on a busy day.

* The Econopump pumps oil from its tank to the fryer enabling crumbs and food fines to be flushed through the fryer outlet into the filter tank. This process is done without putting a hand or cleaning scraper into the hot fryer. The Econopump solves the problem of lifting hot oil from outlet pipe to top of the fryer. This lift could be over 1 meter to top of the fryer.

* Econopump tanks designed to suit any fryer so therefore multiple buckets not required to filter a fryer.

* The Econopump can be wheeled to the waste tank. The oil can be pumped to waste tank saving lifting oil over 600mm. [note that the Econopump tank can be designed to go down ramps.]

* Econopump Filter Machines use 4 micron filter media (not 60 micron media as used when filtering by a manual systems) therefore improving oil quality therefore improving food quality.

* The Econopump Filtering Machine using 4 micron filter media will extend oil life by up to 75% or extending oil from 7 days to 10 days. This means that over a month a week's oil can be saved.
