Device for filtration and transportation of used cooking oil

Abstract

The present disclosure teaches a device for the filtration and transportation of used cooking oil (UCO). The presently disclosed device uses a two-stage filtration system, comprising a basket filter and a reusable SS (stainless steel) filter. After the filtration, the UCO may be discharged back to the fryer or a UCO dumpster via a wand. The selection of a reusable SS filter ensures durability, reusability, and ease of cleaning compared to state-of-the-art cellulose filters. The presently disclosed device uses a rechargeable battery-powered pump to deliver the UCO from the basket filter to the reusable SS filter, which eliminates the use of charging cords, thus allowing maneuverability and eliminating trip hazards in the often-chaotic food preparation environment. The presently disclosed device also includes a platform with wheels for the transportation of the UCO in a food preparation service environment and to the UCO dumpster.
