Improved apparatus and process for filtering cooking oil of the type used in deep fat fryers such as are used in restaurants and bakeries. Full cooking temperature oil from the fryer vat is forcefully moved by a motorized pump through a canister holding a sintered metal filter which is preferably made of fused Stainless steel granules and which will filter-out solid particles down to about 0.5 microns in dimension from the oil. The hot oil passes through the filter before the filtered hot oil is returned to the fryer vat through a hand held flexible dispensing hose. The canister includes an openable lid to allow repeated removal, washing and re-installation of the highly durable and reuseable sintered stainless steel filter. One preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention is a portable unit mounted on wheels so it can be rolled from one fryer to another fryer and then to an out of the way storage area.

An improved process for on-site filtering of cooking oil of a deep fat fryer vat; wherein the improvements comprise; moving cooking oil from the fryer vat and utilizing a motorized fluid pump to forcefully move the cooking oil of the fryer vat through a renewable filter element comprised substantially of fused metal granules defining said filter element with a porosity sufficiently small as to filter solid particles at least down to 50 microns in dimension out of the cooking oil as the cooking oil moves through said filter element, and filtering solid particles at least down to 50 microns in dimension from the cooking oil by the forceful movement of the cooking oil through said filter element prior to returning filtered cooking oil to the fryer vat utilizing said motorized fluid pump to return the filtered cooking oil to said fryer vat, and cleaning said filter element after a significant amount of solid particles have accumulated against said filter element in preparation of future filtering of cooking oil.
