Stop Guessing. Start Testing Your Fryer Oil.
Changing frying oil on a set schedule is common practice in commercial kitchens – oil out, fresh oil in, regardless of how much frying that oil has actually done. It’s easy to manage, but it’s a schedule, not a measurement – and going by the calendar instead of the oil itself can cost money.
Change the oil too early, and you’re throwing away oil that still has useful life in it. Leave it too long, and it starts affecting the taste, appearance and consistency of everything that comes out of the fryer.
The VITO FT440 takes the guesswork out of that decision entirely.
What Is TPM, and Why Does It Matter?
TPM stands for Total Polar Materials – compounds that build up as frying oil deteriorates through heating and use. The more the oil is used, the higher its TPM level can become.
Instead of trying to judge the condition of your oil by eye or by the calendar, the VITO FT440 measures its TPM level directly.

How It Works
Dip. Read. Decide.
Dip the probe into the frying oil and wait for a stable reading. The FT440 measures the TPM level and oil temperature, while the traffic-light display makes the result easy to understand – green means the oil is good to use, amber means it will soon need changing, and red means it’s time to change it.
The TPM limits can be adjusted to suit your oil management requirements, giving you a quick and objective way to monitor the condition of your frying oil.
