Choosing the right MirOil filter machine for your fryer setup
Not all fryers are created equal, and the same goes for fry oil filtration machines. Whether you’re running a food truck with a compact countertop fryer or a bustling commercial kitchen with full-size standard fryers, choosing the right MirOil filter machine is crucial to maintaining clean oil, consistent food quality, and controlling costs. In this post, we’ll break down the key differences between countertop fryers and standard floor fryers and help you pick the best MirOil filter machine for your setup and requirements.
Countertop fryers vs standard fryers: what’s the difference?
It all comes down to size, oil capacity, and intended usage. The type of fryer you’re using will determine what kind of oil filtration system you need.
If you’re unsure, a good rule of thumb is this: if your fryer sits on a table or work surface and holds a relatively small amount of oil, it’s a countertop fryer. If it’s a freestanding unit built for larger volumes and higher throughput, it’s a standard fryer. Standard fryers, also known as floor fryers, are large enough to stand on the floor and reach counter height.
What is a countertop fryer?
Countertop fryers are compact, tabletop units used by cafes, food trucks, small restaurants, and concession stands. They typically have a lower oil capacity, ranging from 1 to 3 gallons, and are ideal for frying small batches. If you’re using a countertop fryer, you need an oil filtration solution that matches its scale. That’s where MirOil’s BS and HS model filter machines come in.

What is a standard (floor) fryer?
Standard fryers are large, high-capacity units commonly found in big restaurants, diners, and fast food kitchens. They can hold upwards of 5 gallons of oil and are built for heavy use throughout the day. For this kind of fryer, you need a tough, high-performance oil filtration machine. That’s where MirOil’s HD, BD, and MOD model filter machines come in.
