Abstract
Valentine & Cuisinequip, the exclusive UK supplier of the VITO range of oil filtration and management solutions, has launched the VITO FT Connect a precision-engineered handheld frying oil tester, complete with Bluetooth connectivity designed for professional kitchens.

The Vito FT Connect empowers kitchen teams to make quick, data-driven decisions on oil quality, using scientifically supported Total Polar Material (TPM) analysis, the industry gold standard for measuring oil degradation.

Vito FT Connect provides real-time TPM percentage readouts, in addition, an intuitive three-colour traffic light system gives chefs a clear, instant signal on whether to continue using the existing oil or replace it.  

Phillip Sanderson, sales director at Valentine Equipment, said: “The introduction of the Vito FT Connect represents a major leap forward in kitchen operations. By removing guesswork and visual inspection from frying oil replacement, we're arming chefs with a tool that’s both scientifically reliable and intuitively simple to use.”

Using Bluetooth with its own digital platform, the Vito FT Connect can monitor up to 12 fryers per device. Measurements are automatically uploaded and stored, generating HACCP-compliant reports that support both internal management and external audits, eliminating the need for time-consuming and untidy paper-based logs.

Built to withstand professional environments, the Vito FT Connect is fully IP67-rated (dust and water resistant), operates across a wide temperature range (50–200°C), includes a rechargeable battery and ergonomic strap and is easy to handle even in fast-paced service conditions.

The Vito FT Connect fills a crucial gap in everyday kitchen operations, offering precision, simplicity, and compliance in one compact unit, with the additional benefit of reducing oil waste and improving sustainability.
