The FOM 330-1 is a high-precision handheld instrument designed for the rapid and reliable determination of frying oil quality. By measuring the "Total Polar Materials" (TPM) content, this device allows users to identify the exact moment oil needs to be changed, ensuring consistent food quality and significant cost savings by preventing premature oil disposal.
The FOM 330-1 features a specialized sensor that measures the dielectric constant of the frying oil, which changes as the oil degrades during heating. The result is displayed as a TPM percentage, providing a clear indication of the oil's aging process. The device is equipped with a large, easy-to-read display and a Next-Gen LED traffic light system (Green, Yellow, Red) for immediate visual evaluation of the oil status. Housed in a robust, IP67-rated waterproof casing, it is designed to withstand the high temperatures and demanding conditions of commercial kitchens and industrial food production. It is fully HACCP compliant and helps businesses meet health and safety regulations while optimizing their operational efficiency.
Advantages
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces oil consumption by up to 20% by ensuring oil is only replaced when it has actually reached its wear limit.
- Consistent Food Quality: Prevents the negative impact on taste and health caused by over-used frying oil.
- Rapid Measurement: Provides accurate results within 10 seconds directly at the fryer, even while the oil is hot.
- Clear Traffic Light System: Integrated LED provides instant feedback: Green (Fresh), Yellow (Change recommended), and Red (Change mandatory).
- Robust and Hygienic: The IP67 protection class allows for safe cleaning under running water, and the impact-resistant carrying case ensures long-term durability.
- User-Friendly: Simple one-button operation with a clear signal for the end of the measurement process.
Instructions for use
The FOM 330-1 is designed for use directly in the deep-fat fryer at operating temperatures. Preparation: Ensure the oil is at its frying temperature (typically 150 °C to 190 °C). Switch on the device and select the oil type if necessary. Note: Immerse the sensor into the hot oil, ensuring it stays below the maximum immersion mark and does not touch the metal heating elements. Gently stir the oil with the device to accelerate the measurement. The display will show the TPM percentage and the LED will indicate the oil quality. After use, clean the sensor while it is still warm with a soft paper towel or mild detergent.
