The Keating Safe & Easy®Central Filter is designed to
minimize oil breakdown and extend oil life. The closed
“hands free” system means that you never come in contact
with hot oil during the filtration process. Completely
contained within its own cabinet, Keating’s Safe & Easy

®

Central Filter assures safe and proper handling of hot oil.

SAVE ON OIL COSTS

Keating’s Safe & Easy®System combines the advantages
of low temperature cooking, Cold Zone sedimentation and
a one-step, multi-layered filter to purify oil. Cooking
temperature, moisture and oxidation are the main causes of
oil breakdown. Filtering conditions oil and removes free
fatty acids, which if done on a regular basis, extends the
life of the oil.

FAST AND EASY FILTRATION

The high capacity pump filters five gallons of oil per
minute. Simply open the drain valve, switch on the filter
pump and close the drain valve. The Safe & Easy®Central
Filter does the rest. With the patented swirling action,
crumbs, debris and contaminants are removed and oil is
purified. When solidified shortening is present, the optional
melt cycle safely melts it to prevent it from clogging the
filter.

EFFECTIVELY REMOVES FOOD PARTICLES

The multi-layered filtration system removes food particles.
The strainer basket separates large crumbs from the oil and
traps them before entering the filter. The remaining oil is
conditioned by Keating’s Acidox filtering compound to
remove fatty acids and then pumped through filter paper to
remove any remaining debris. Simply dump the crumbs
and lift out the paper to complete the filtering process.

FAST AND CONVENIENT

With no additional equipment to store, no special
attachments to put in place and no special steps to rinse
down the fryer, the Safe & Easy®Central Filter helps you
filter quickly and without hassle. Depending on your fryer
size, five minutes is all you need. When filtering a battery of
fryers, you can filter one fryer while the others are still in
operation for non-stop production.

DESCRIPTION

The Keating Safe & Easy

®

Central Filter is a “hands free” system
which requires no contact with hot oil. The system is designed to
utilize the natural sedimentation of the Instant Recovery

®

Fryer.
Oil is drained through a valve and drain pipe in rear of the fryer.
It passes through a strainer basket, Acidox powder and filter
paper before returning to the fryer through a closed pipe system.
The oil enters the bottom of the fryer in a swirling motion which
rinses the sediment into the filter while minimizing aeration.

SPECIFICATIONS
Performance: Central filter may be installed in a battery of up to

six fryers (no more than three per side). Since only one fryer is
out of operation at a time, filtration may be conducted at any
time. Filtration time depends on fryer size.

Filter drawer shall be removable on bearing rollers with 20%
more shortening capacity than largest fryer in battery. Filter
drawer holds strainer basket, screen, hold down ring and spring
loaded arms to hold paper in place. A sump and

3

/8" pipe return

the filtered oil to the closed pipe system.

Drain valve to be rear drain with front release. 14" models to
have 1" drain valve, 18"-24" models to have 1

1

/4

” drain valve and

34”×24” model to have (2) 1

/4” drain valve.

Safe & Easy

®

Central Filter closed pipe return system.
