Key Features:
Low Oil Volume (LOV) Technology — utilizes an engineered 30 lb (15 Liters) frypot that delivers the same production throughput as a standard 50 lb frypot, reducing oil consumption by up to 40%.
M3000 / M5000 Custom McDonald's Computer — features the iconic green/red digital display or touchscreen custom-programmed with McDonald's exact menu icons (Fries, McNuggets, McChicken). It monitors cook cycles, adjusts times dynamically for load sizes, and manages filtration prompts.
Smart Auto-Top-Off (ATO) System — automatically senses oil levels in each frypot and pumps fresh oil from a built-in reservoir (JIB) inside the cabinet, ensuring the oil is always at the perfect level for cooking.
FootPrint PRO® Automated Filtration — a hands-free, built-in oil filtration system that prompts the crew to filter. It drains, filters, and returns hot oil in under 4 minutes per pot, allowing continuous operation during peak hours.
Swing-Up Flat-Bar Heating Elements — high-efficiency electric elements designed for rapid heat recovery when frozen fries hit the oil, ensuring maximum crispiness and zero sogginess.
Integrated Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) Available — advanced internal sensors that measure the degradation of the oil and notify managers precisely when the oil needs to be discarded, eliminating human guesswork.
Automatic Basket Lifts — motor-driven lifters that automatically lower baskets into the oil when the timer starts and raise them instantly when cooking is complete to prevent overcooking.
Specifications:
Energy Source: 100% Electric
Oil Capacity: 30 lb (15 Liters) per split or full frypot (LOV high-density efficiency design)
Configuration: Commonly deployed as a 2-pot, 3-pot, or 4-pot battery (often combining full pots for fries and split pots for chicken products)
Electrical Requirements: 208V, 240V, or 480V / 3Ø (Approx. 14kW to 17kW per frypot depending on the specific lane configuration)
Dimensions: Varies by battery size (e.g., a 4-pot battery is approx. 62.5"W × 34.0"D × 45.4"H / 1588 × 864 × 1153 mm)
Weight: Approx. 400 - 750 lb (181 - 340 kg) depending on the number of linked pots
Ideal for: McDonald's franchise locations and high-velocity quick-service operations requiring absolute automation, strict food-safety programming, and extreme oil-cost optimization
