News/Press – Lightfry

February 19th – 21st 2025:

During two full productive days we had Whitco’s leadership team, development chef and and technical responsible manager with us in Borås for training in everyone’s respective area.

Market, sales and general business discussions with Vita Whitaker and Tony Butler was interesting to identify target customers and market segments to work on, in an initial phase. Service, support as an integrated part of the offer of Lightfry equipment was also an important part of the discussions and planning.

Ross Goddard responsible for technical questions did get a hands on training on Lightfry equipment for a full two days period. From complete disassembly to full assembly together with training of how to make a correct installation. This training session ended with fault finding and solving created faults as a final examination.

Chef Clive Dixon got to work with the Lightfry unit from a cooking and food perspective. Clive made a three course dinner with only Lightfry and air fried produced food which exceeded all our expectations regarding flavor, texture, color together with Clives delicate touch when it came to presentation of the prepared food. Clive made a comment of that the Lightfry unit is unique when it comes to bring out the flavor of all different products. Also a great positive is the rotating food preparation basket which gives all products a uniform color and texture.

It was truly a great pleasure having the Whitco team here with us in Borås and we do look forward to a great cooperation with our new UK and Northern Ireland distributor. Thank you all!

Having end users, restaurant owners, chefs and distributors of restaurant equipment telling us where the market is going, when it comes to fried food, and that is towards commercial air frying and Lightfry. That’s a significant shift in the market which is really a huge step forward.

Energy savings of approx 40%, no cost of oil and lower cost for cleaning of extraction system

Significant energy savings of approx 40% less has been one of the very positive results by using Lightfry says, one of the owners Mattias Johansson from Blessburgers. Lightfry has been running in Blessburgers operation for more than three years. Lightfry is taking care of mainly French fries which is the main volume product. But with the four Lightfry units they are also cooking chicken wings, chicken nuggets, fish burger, mozzarella sticks, chilli cheese, spicy onion rings and sweet potato fries. With increasing cost of energy it’s great to use energy efficient and self cleaning equipment. “Cost reductions from reduced energy consumption, no cost of oil and lower cost of maintenance of the extraction system are all very welcome in these times with increases of prices on most everything. On top of this we’re very happy that our customers really appreciate the Air Fried food” – says Mattias Johansson.

A new food concept starts up in Sweden – Eatbox, food where the customer is, when they are hungry!

Eatbox has created a new concept with small units (boxes/houses) where fast food is prepared such as Pizza, Salad and Fingerfood. The food is ordered via a mobile phone/app and is prepared directly and picked up from the EatBox via a hatch. The concept is also based on keeping the investment down and here LightFry also helps as we can avoid investing in fire extinguishers and grease traps.

But to achieve this, we also need good logistics inside the trolley. LightFry helps us with this, as we don’t have to watch the cooking process, but receive a signal when it’s ready.

Open when you’re hungry, and placed in locations in areas near you so it can be easily both ordered and picked up – always freshly cooked.

EatBox is another of the many companies that have discovered the benefits of our LightFry

Air is the new oil – better, safer and, above all, healthier.

We have cooked fresh cod in our Lightfry unit. The only preparation we did was to dust the fish with flour and brush the fish with vegetable oil. The result was fantastic. The customer and we were overjoyed by the incredible result. YES, we also air fried fried fresh squid with the same brilliant result!
