The flexible, effective solution for waste management

By Michael Eyre, Product Director, Jestic Foodservice Solutions

Recent legislation has raised the bar for operators to improve waste, but customers and consumers alike expect good practice to co-exist alongside great service and excellent cooking. The Frontline International system offers a flexible, effective solution for businesses of all sizes.

Gone are the days of unsafe oil management in the kitchen, Frontline International can supply fully automated, modular systems that can effectively store, dispose of, and refresh all cooking oils and grease. Frontline International can provide waste oil tanks both inside and outside outlets, which can be combined with a range of best-in-class modular pumping stations and filtration units to create a self-contained system that pumps excess and used oil into secure storage for later collection.

For outlets without the flexibility to install pipework, the Frontline system of oil caddies is the modern alternative to staff unsafely carrying open drums of oil across the kitchen to manual disposal points. Improving business practice and boosting kitchen safety is key when it comes to waste management. No more open oil drums means fewer slippery floors and minimises the opportunity for workplace accidents.

Alongside the desire for improved workplace safety and compliance with legislation, it is also worth noting that using an effective waste management system can often pay for itself in less than 18 months, as oil can be more efficiently returned and sold, but improved filtration also permits longer performance overall from existing oil.

Using less oil will serve as a benefit and so with the latest low-volume fryers from Henny Penny, operators can not only save money on new oil, as less physical oil is required to cook the same volume of food but also minimises energy consumption as they are only heating the oil they require.

As a leader in effective, efficient frying, the Henny Penny brand sets the standards for others to follow and the Henny Penny range of low-volume fryers - including the GVE, Evolution Elite, and the F5  - maximise efficiency by both using less oil and ensuring that 100% of the power from the element is transferred to the oil ensuring not only that the fryer heats up faster but also recovers cooking temperature more quickly once food has begun the cooking process, cooking faster, more efficient and better oil use. It also saves money with automatic filtration cycles to help extend oil lifespan and crispier chicken.

The Henny Penny F5 is an extremely powerful low-oil volume fryer that is specifically designed so that any member of the kitchen team can operate it. The F5’s specially designed smaller fry vat means that up to 40% less oil is used whilst delivering the same quality, consistency, and volume of cooking. The bespoke software and technical design at the heart of the F5 offers precision heat control to minimise oil degradation and maximise cook performance. The quality of operation is matched by the physical design of the unit which features smooth surfaces and sleekly curved edges to facilitate easy cleaning at the end of a busy service. As well as being wipe-clean friendly on the outside, the new F5 can also filter itself in just three minutes, meaning it can be filtered mid-service, and make the end-of-shift clean-down simple and swift. Featuring the market’s most powerful filter pump, the 8-GPM filtration system also includes a brand-new design of nozzle that efficiently targets tough-to-reach parts of the fryer vat and eliminates debris more effectively overall, all whilst completing its cycle 25% faster than comparable existing fryers.

What’s more, Henny Penny can further support your oil quality and filtration management with its Prime Filter products– the ideal way to keep fryers clean whilst supporting optimal oil quality. The Henny Penny Prime Filter products attract and remove impurities that both deteriorate oil quality and impact the quality of fried foods. They remove both solid and dissolved impurities from used cooking oil, extend usable life of the oil and allow for consistently high-quality fried products. By making proper use of Henny Penny’s filtration aid products including powder, packets and HD pad, operators can prolong oil life by as much as 50% — all while improving the quality of fried foods.
