Saving Money with Vito Oil Filtration

By rejuvenating and filtering used oil, the life span is prolonged, and the usability extended as well as offering the potential to produce better tasting foods and make substantial savings in the long run.

Not Just a Standalone Solution

While Vito certainly excels when going solo, it doesn’t have to be used as a standalone solution. It can also be utilised in addition to inbuilt fryer filtration as put into action by Burger King, with the aim of further enhancing potential savings. Recording an increase in monetary savings Burger King operated Vito as ‘a complimentary process’, using integral fryer systems at night and the Vito 80 for morning filtration. When combining filtration methods, fryer oil lasted on average an additional 2.5 - 3 days longer once Vito was introduced. Over the course of a year those few extra days soon mount up to a considerable saving. (Source: information provided by Vito)
