Lower oil waste and longer oil lifespan
Our Mission & Values
We build long-lasting kitchen solutions — made in Switzerland, trusted around the world.
Why Gastrofrit? Because Innovation Begins with Science.
Gastrofrit is the creator of OLFO, a patented deep fryer with integrated membrane filtration that significantly reduces oil usage — by up to 65% — without chemicals or additives.
- Developed in collaboration with ETH Zurich and ZHAW University
- Supported by a CHF 1 million research grant (CTI project 19293.1 PFLS-LS)
- Maintains stable frying quality over extended periods
- Reduces total polar compounds and harmful acrylamides
Real-world test: After 13 days of continuous frying, OLFO kept TPA at 11.84% — vs. 27% in traditional fryers.
Sustainability at the Core
Gastrofrit helps foodservice businesses reduce their environmental impact through:
-
-
Reduced energy consumption via smart heating
-
Minimal need for harsh cleaning chemicals
-
Automated oil filtration = fewer disposal challenges
