How It Works
Test your frying oil in just three simple steps. Accurate, fast, and HACCP compliant.
Insert the sensor into hot oil
Place the stainless-steel probe directly in the fryer while the oil is hot.
Wait a few seconds for analysis
The FT440 automatically measures TPM and temperature in real time.
Read the traffic light result
The display shows a clear traffic light system. Green for good oil, yellow for near limit, and red to change oil.
What our customers say
The FT frying oil testers support us in our daily work with frying oils by helping us determine the exact time for an oil change in gastronomy. This way, our frying oil is always replaced at the right moment, never too early and never too late.
Over the past 2 years VITO had become a focal part of our frying process, we have been able to achieve significant savings in both time and oil consumption. Superior product quality and consistency all throughout the frying cycle is an added bonus!
VITO oil filtering machine had given a peace of mind for chef’s reducing the oil consumption by 25-30%...and the Oiltester makes sure you have clean oil for your valuable customers.
How often should I calibrate the FT440?
The FT440 comes factory-calibrated and ready to use. For most kitchens, recalibration is only needed once every 12–18 months, or if the sensor is physically damaged or readings become inconsistent.
Will it work with UAE oil types and climate?
Yes, the FT440 is used by hundreds of kitchens across the UAE. It’s designed for high-temperature oils like sunflower, canola, palm, and blended frying oils, and works perfectly in hot, humid kitchen environments.
What’s the difference between FT440 and FT CONNECT?
- FT440 runs on replaceable batteries.
- FT Connect is rechargeable and can connect to your LAN or VITOconnect system for digital tracking.
What is the warranty period?
All VITO oil testers come with a 2-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects and calibration accuracy with FREE servicing.
What happens if the screen shows a mid-color (yellow)?
Yellow means your oil is approaching its limit. You can still use it for a short period, but plan to replace it soon. This helps prevent poor taste and excessive waste.
Is the FT440 waterproof?
Yes. the sensor probe is waterproof, allowing you to rinse it directly under running water after each test. The display unit should not be submerged, but it’s splash-resistant.
What’s included in the box?
Each FT440 comes with:
- 1× FT440 Oil Tester
- 1× Protective Case
- 1× Calibration Certificate
- 1× Battery (pre-installed)
Can it be used for both deep fryers and pans?
Yes! You can use the FT440 for deep fryers, frying pans, or oil reservoirs anywhere the oil depth allows the sensor to be fully immersed.
Do I need any training to use it?
Not at all. Just dip, wait a few seconds, and read. The traffic light system makes it foolproof. Green = good, yellow = near limit, red = change oil.
How much can I save by using the FT440?
Most kitchens save 10–20% on frying oil costs by changing oil only when needed, not too soon, not too late. That’s how the FT440 pays for itself quickly.
