We designed our tanks to ensure that handling hot used cooking oil is easy. The equipment is capable of direct pump connection, meaning the tank connects directly to your fryer and transfers the oil at the single touch of a button. This eliminates the liability of your staff handling hot used cooking oil, which can lead to slips, falls and burns. We manage the complete process, from initial tank selection to delivery, installation and employee training.
