When determining which AutoFry model is the best fit for your business there are a handful of things you will want to consider. From menu options to quality and quantities, Motion Technology, Inc. has the answers to your most important questions. MTI has five different models that come in various sizes and have been designed to handle a range of deep-frying demands.
First things first, what are your foodservice goals? Before choosing the size of your AutoFry you will want to make sure you have a solid list of things you would like to accomplish with your foodservice program. Will you be using third party delivery services? Will sustainability be the main focus? Do you see catering parties and events in your future? Once you have zoned in on your goals you can focus on a plan to put them in motion.
Next thing to consider is the Food Factor! What do you plan on serving? Will there be a large assortment of food items you plan to offer? If you are looking to fry precooked frozen items, any size AutoFry will work for you! Some AutoFry models come equipped with additional features or accessories that enable the preparation of a wider selection of menu items. If you anticipate offering a variety of deep-fried dishes, exploring models with versatile capabilities can enhance your menu options. For instance, if you wish to serve items that tend to float in hot oil like beignets or fresh tortilla chips, you will want to make sure you are utilizing the AutoFry Hold Down Unit. This is only currently available on the MTI-10X/XL. Maybe you want to offer fresh, raw products. Our double basket units allow you to fry independently on both sides. For instance, you can fry raw fish separately from raw chicken.
Now, how much will you be frying? We know you can’t predict what the future has in store, but if you can make a rough estimate of how much you anticipate cooking, you'll have a way better idea of the capacity you need for your ventless, automatic deep fryer. Depending on the volume of frying you foresee for your business, you'll need to choose a model that can accommodate that desired quantity of food. Motion Technology, Inc.’s full range of models ensure that you can find one with the perfect capacity to meet your specific needs. Take a look below to get an idea of hourly capacity rates for each machine.
Lastly, you will want to take into consideration how much space your business can dedicate to kitchen equipment. AutoFry can fit in just about ANY tight kitchen space. The MTI-5, MTI-10X/XL & Mini-C are the smaller of the ventless frying units. They all sit on counter tops and take up less than 2ft of your counter space. Even food trucks and kiosks aren't too small for these models! The largest AutoFrys are similarly versatile. The MTI-40C sits on the counter, occupying roughly 3ft of space. The MTI-40E is a freestanding floor model that takes up about 3ft of width on your floor. Based on those measurements, you should be able to look at your available space and determine how large or small you'd like your fryer to be.
Don't forget, all AutoFry models are completely ventless, which means they don’t require a hood or vent system. Plus, Being a self-contained with an exterior that stays cool to the touch, you’ll never have to worry about your employees getting burnt, making AutoFry much more convenient for your kitchen!
