The Shortening Shuttle
The Economy series Shortening Shuttle features double-wall aluminum construction and heat-resistant handles for safely moving hot oil from fryers to grease dumpsters. The five models have varying height requirements to accommodate different fryer drain clearances. Before selecting a model, measure the clearance between the fryer's drain outlet and the floor to ensure the carrier fits beneath it.
Key Features of The Shortening Shuttle
- Perforated Baffle Screen: The screen catches food debris as oil enters the carrier and helps limit splashing during transport
- Aluminum Body: Double-wall aluminum construction reinforces the carrier for repeated use, while handles at both ends provide gripping points during positioning and emptying
- Lean-and-Pivot Design: Staff tip and pivot the carrier to empty it into a compatible waste oil container
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Economy series filter oil for reuse?
No. Its baffle screen catches debris and helps control splashing, but the Economy series is a manual oil transport system rather than a fryer oil filtration machine.
Do Shortening Shuttle models need electricity?
No. The Economy series carriers use manual transport and pouring, with no pump or electrical connection.
How long does it take to drain oil?
Depending on the amount of oil in the fryer and its viscosity, draining typically takes between 2 and 10 minutes.
