A few things to know before you start.
Purimax is designed to fit into the filtration process your kitchen already uses. Here are answers to the questions restaurant operators commonly have before testing it.
What exactly is Purimax?
Purimax is a food-grade fryer oil filter powder used during your normal filtration process. It is designed to help remove contaminants and degradation byproducts from used frying oil so the oil can stay usable longer.
How does Purimax work?
Purimax is added to hot frying oil before or during filtration. It disperses through the oil, interacts with material produced during frying, and is then removed with the filter along with captured material.
Will Purimax work with my filtration system?
Purimax has instructions for automatic internal filtration, automatic portable filtration and manual filtration methods. Choose the instructions that match the system your kitchen already uses.
Do I need to buy new filtration equipment?
Purimax is designed to work as part of your existing filtration routine, so a separate Purimax machine is not required. Follow the instructions for your current filtration setup.
How often should Purimax be used?
Purimax is intended for routine use with your normal fryer filtration schedule. For example, the automatic internal instructions call for using it at the end of the frying day before completing the normal filtration cycle.
How much Purimax do I use?
The correct amount depends on fryer size. Rather than guessing, follow the dosing shown in the instructions for your system and fryer capacity. View the instructions here.
What fryer sizes can use Purimax?
Purimax can be used with common commercial fryer sizes. Dosing should be matched to the oil capacity of the fryer, so use the instructions for the closest fryer size rather than using the same amount in every fryer.
Does Purimax replace normal filtration?
No. Purimax is a filtration aid, not a replacement for filtering. It is designed to be used as part of the filtration process your kitchen already performs.
Does the powder stay in the fryer oil?
Purimax is used during filtration and the spent powder is removed through the filtration step along with captured material. The oil is then returned to the fryer.
Can I use Purimax with automatic internal filtration?
Yes. Add the correct daily amount to hot oil, mix briefly, then run the normal drain-to-filter-to-return circulation process. Keep the oil circulating through the filtration loop for at least the minimum time shown in the instructions.
Can I use Purimax with a portable filter machine?
Yes. Purimax can be used with automatic portable filtration systems. The process is similar: add the correct amount to hot oil, circulate the oil through the filter and return the filtered oil to the fryer.
Can I use Purimax if we filter manually?
Yes. Purimax also has manual filtration instructions, including stock-pot and drain-style methods. Follow the method that best matches how your kitchen currently filters fryer oil.
Do I have to change my normal kitchen routine?
The goal is to fit Purimax into your existing filtration routine with as little disruption as possible. Your team still filters the oil using the same equipment; Purimax is added as an additional step during that process.
When should I replace the oil?
Do not assume the oil must be discarded simply because it reached your old calendar-based change day. Evaluate the oil based on its actual condition and your normal quality standards. Purimax is not intended to make unusable oil usable again.
Does Purimax turn old oil back into brand-new oil?
No. Purimax does not reset old oil to a brand-new condition. It is designed to help manage contaminants and degradation pathways during filtration so oil that is still usable can continue performing longer.
How do I know if Purimax is actually saving us money?
Start by recording how frequently you normally replace your fryer oil and what a refill costs. During the trial, keep the rest of your operating routine as consistent as possible and compare how long the oil remains usable under your own kitchen conditions.
Will every restaurant get the same result?
No. Fryer volume, menu items, oil type, operating temperature, filtration practices and kitchen volume can all affect oil life. That is why the best way to evaluate Purimax is to test it in your own fryers against your normal baseline.
What is the best way to run the 14-day trial?
Begin with a clear baseline for how often you normally change oil. Use Purimax daily with your normal filtration process, avoid changing other variables if possible, and compare the result against your normal oil-change schedule.
What happens if we reach our normal oil-change day during the trial?
Reaching your usual change day does not automatically mean the trial is over. Evaluate the oil first using the same quality standards your kitchen normally uses, then continue only while the oil remains acceptable for use.
What is the easiest way to try Purimax?
Start with the 14-day Purimax trial. Use it with your normal filtration process, track your baseline and compare the results in your own kitchen before deciding whether it makes sense to continue.
The only result that really matters is yours.
Put Purimax into your normal fryer routine for 14 days and compare the result against the way your kitchen operates today.
