Abstract: For a deep fat fryer comprising a vat containing a bath of heated oil, there is provided a built-in device for filtering the oil, including means for collecting the oil contained in the vat, and means for pumping, for filtering and for recirculating this oil to the vat. The filtering device comprises, on the one hand, a filtering unit situated in the upper part of the vat of the deep fat fryer, in a readily accessible location, at the downstream end of the recirculating means and, on the other hand, arranged inside the cabinet of the deep fat fryer, a motor and a pump, particularly a rotary pump, driven by the motor. The invention applies to industrial or commercial deep fat fryers.

Abstract: A modular shelf system has normally upright tubular post parts each extending along a post axis and having an upper end and a lower end with one end of each post part formed with an axially projecting tapered pin and the other end of each post part formed with an axially open complementarily tapered seat. Main longitudinal beams have ends each having an upper side and a lower side with one side of each longitudinal-beam end formed with a vertically projecting tapered pin generally identical to the post-part pins and the other side of each longitudinal-beam end formed with an vertically oppositely open complementarily tapered seat generally identical to the post-part seats.
