MICRO-FLO BUILT-IN SERIES FILTRATION SYSTEMS
CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
Micro-Flo Built-In Series filtration systems are available in sizes to handle quantities of oil up to 120
pounds. They can be fabricated to match Dean gas (Super Marathon & Decathlon) or electric fryers
(Cool Zone & Flatbottom Series), or in stand-alone cabinets. Micro-Flo filtration systems
incorporate a "gravity drain" design. The oil return line can be configured overhead (prior to 1994),
internally plumbed, or returned by the hose & nozzle.
Prior to 1994, handle-operated ball valves or optional "push-pull" linkage-operated ball valve
controls located in the filter cabinet were available. Current systems are configured with the oil-
return and drain valve controls located in each fryer cabinet.
1.1 Construction
Micro-Flo Built-In filters are constructed with the following features:
ø
Fully welded, heavy gauge steel, with a removable stainless steel filter pan.
ø
Internal oil return lines are plumbed with either a "push-pull" valve system in the filter
cabinet or manual drain valves at each fryer.
ø
A 1/3 HP motor, coupled with a 5 GPM pump returns filtered oil to the fry vessel. An 8
GPM pump (optional) is also available.
1.2 Operating Controls
Micro-Flo Built-In filters are equipped with the following operating controls:
ø
The "ON-OFF" power switch is mounted on the front control panel of the filter cabinet. If
the filter is equipped with an optional heater, a three-position switch (Heater/Off/Pump) is
included as the power switch.
ø
Individual fryer drain valves control which fryer is filtered, reducing operator error.
ø
Prior to 1994: Oil-return valves are either "push-pull" controls or "lever-operated" manual
ball valves; the push-pull controls are in the filter cabinet and the "lever-operated" valves are
at each individual fryer.
ø
1994 and later: Oil-return valves are push-pull controls, located within each individual fryer
cabinet. A manual "hose-disconnect" valve is located in the filter cabinet.
