Implement an effective oil management system

After the huge economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, operators cannot run the risk of being hit with large fines for not disposing of used cooking oil responsibly. It has therefore never been more important for operators to implement an effective oil management system like Smart Oil Management® from Frontline International.

The good news for operators is that Frontline’s Smart Oil Management® can generate revenue from recycling waste oil into biofuels and renewable energy, in turn improving sustainability credentials, whilst reducing the very real risk of slips and burns associated with catering staff manually handling oil.

Exclusively distributed in the UK by Jestic Foodservice Solutions, Frontline manufactures a range of equipment for the automated collection, storage, handling and disposal of cooking oil and grease from fryers, grills and rotisseries. Frontline equipment can pay for itself in as little as 12 to 16 months, so it is perhaps not surprising that Frontline has completed over 30,000 installations worldwide, helping 250 clients to manage their waste oil and turn it into a profit centre.

Frontline systems can either be plumbed-in allowing for the fully automated top up of fresh oil and the removal of waste oil to a storage tank ready for collection – all without a single drop spilled. To empty used oil from fryers Frontline has a plumbed-in, pump station option which can move oil along to a storage tank at the push of a button or if plumbing isn’t feasible, wheeled caddies can be rolled under fryers to receive waste oil which can be pumped into the tank. A pumped caddy is also available.

The used oil storage tanks are constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel, are available in a variety of sizes for either internal or external use and incorporate heat pads to keep the oil liquid. They also feature anti-theft electronic locking mechanisms and are linked to a data-fed web interface, so operators have full accounting of used cooking oil volumes and can maximise their used oil rebates.

Jestic’s experienced sales team can advise on all aspects of implementing Frontline’s Oil Management System including site audits, demonstrations and training tailored to suit the operators’ precise needs. In addition, Jestic’s dedicated Technical Services team of 45 factory-trained technical specialists, offer a wide range of preventative maintenance and reactive repair services 24 hours a day, 364 days a year so caterers can be confident they will receive the highest standard of aftersales service.
