The Carte Compu T electric pressure deep fryer without a pump is the choice for maximum precision for restaurant owners who manage their own oil filtration. It features the Compu T control unit — the industry benchmark in the chicken fast-food sector for the consistency and precision of its cooking programmes — in a model without an automatic filtration pump, costing €1,400 less than the Compu T version with a pump. For an establishment that adheres strictly to its end-of-shift protocols, this is the machine that offers the best precision-to-investment ratio in the MFF range.
Compu T control panel vs Classic control panel: what’s the practical difference?
Both the Compu T and Classic models have 10 programmable keys — but their programming capabilities are fundamentally different. This is where the key decision lies:
| Criterion | Compu T Card (this model) | Classic Board (€2,990 excl. VAT) |
|---|
| Price excluding VAT, without pump | €3,490 | €2,990 |
| Stored parameters | Temperature + pressure + duration — per stage | Temperature + duration only |
| Multi-stage recipes | Yes — cooking profile in several successive phases | No — a single phase per button |
| Pressure accuracy | Very high — precise control of pressure build-up | Standard |
| Multi-site standardisation | Ideal — identical settings on all Compu T units | Single site |
| Recommended profile | Complex recipes, production line, high-precision standardisation | Standard menu, high throughput, variable staffing levels |
If your fast-food chicken recipe requires a gradual increase in temperature, a variation in pressure during cooking, or different cooking phases depending on the cut (whole thigh vs wing vs breaded fillet), the Compu T is the only model in the MFF range without a pump that allows you to do this. For a standard menu with 2 to 4 simple recipes, the Classic model at €2,990 (excl. VAT) is sufficient.
Compu T without a pump vs Compu T with a pump: which is the right choice for your situation?
| Criterion | Compu T without a pump (this model) | Compu T with pump (€4,890 excl. VAT) |
|---|
| Price excluding VAT | €3,490 | €4,890 |
| Oil filtration | Manual at the end of a shift | Automatic — the machine filters automatically |
| Risk of burns | Present if operating instructions are not followed | Virtually none — no contact with hot oil |
| Oil service life | Depends on how thoroughly the team filters the oil | Extended — regular and thorough filtration at every service |
| Annual savings on oil | Varies depending on filtration regime | Significant over 12 months |
| Maintenance costs | Low — fewer mechanical components | Pump = additional component requiring maintenance |
| Recommended profile | Disciplined team, filtration protocol followed, operational control | Fluctuating staff numbers, high throughput, with safety and consistency as top priorities |
The €1,400 difference between the two models is justified if your manual filtration process is an operational weak point — risk of burns, failure to switch off at the end of a shift, frequently changing staff. If your closing-down protocol is followed and your team is trained, the pump-free model at €3,490 (excl. VAT) is the right choice.
Suitable for which type of establishment?
- Chicken fast-food restaurants with varied menus: you offer several cooking profiles depending on the cut (whole thigh, marinated wing, breaded fillet, tenders), each requiring finely tuned settings. The Compu T stores each profile with a level of precision that the Carte Classique cannot match.
- Restaurant chains or multi-site expansion: the Compu T allows you to standardise cooking settings across all your outlets. Same recipe, same result, regardless of the outlet or operator. It’s the machine for scaling up.
- Demanding dark kitchens: in the delivery sector, your reputation rests entirely on the consistency of your product. The Compu T guarantees this consistency at the highest level of precision in the MFF range without a pump.
- Experienced restaurateur who has filtration under control: you have a well-established end-of-service protocol, your team follows it, and you’d rather not pay for a pump when you’ve been managing the function manually and correctly for years.
