  • Publication number: 20220248905
    Abstract: A fryer system includes a fryer and an oil storage assembly. The oil storage assembly includes a feed pipe coupled at a first end to a fry pot of the fryer and coupled at a second end to a pump assembly. The pump assembly includes a pump and a valve. The oil storage system further includes a storage pipe coupled at a first end to the pump assembly and coupled at a second end to a storage tank. The fryer system can perform an oil fill operation whereby the pump drives cooking oil from the storage tank to the fry pot and an oil drain operation whereby the pump drives cooking oil from the fry pot to the storage tank. A controller controls the oil fill and oil drain operations and transmits communications to a remote command center. The controller can also transmit communications to a driver display device.
