The Micron-Pro cooking oil filter from Heat and Control, Hayward, Calif., pays for itself in oil savings within the first year at plants producing meatballs, batter-breaded foods and more.

Using no additives, paper or consumable filter media, Micron-Pro can filter particles down to sub-micron size at rates up to 125 gallons per minute of hot oil. Fines are quickly removed from the oil and filter to minimize burning and free fatty acid formation. Up to 98% of the oil can be recovered from filtered particles, depending on debris type. Fines are automatically discharged from the filter with no operator intervention.
