Ventless Cooking Technology: How MTI’s AutoFry is Transforming Commercial Kitchens

In today’s foodservice industry, efficiency, safety, and profitability are more important than ever. One innovation that’s changing the way restaurants, convenience stores, and foodservice operators work is ventless cooking technology. This breakthrough eliminates the need for expensive, space-consuming hood systems, making it easier for businesses to serve high-quality food anywhere.

What Is Ventless Cooking Technology?

Ventless cooking technology allows operators to prepare food without a traditional exhaust hood.
Instead, the equipment uses advanced filtration systems—typically combining grease filters, mesh filters, and activated charcoal filters—to remove grease and smoke right inside the unit. The result? Safe, compliant cooking with no costly ductwork.

For operators, this means more flexibility, lower overhead, and the freedom to serve food in places where traditional kitchens aren’t possible.

MTI: A Pioneer in Ventless Commercial Kitchen Equipment

When it comes to ventless kitchen equipment, few companies have as much experience as Motion Technology, Inc. (MTI). Over 30 years ago, MTI introduced the AutoFry®, the world’s first fully automated, ventless deep fryer. Since then, AutoFry has become the gold standard for businesses looking to expand their menu with fried food—without the limitations of a traditional kitchen setup.

From small countertop fryers to high-capacity floor models, AutoFry offers reliable, consistent results for restaurants, convenience stores, bars, breweries, and more.

Business Benefits of Ventless Fryers and Kitchen Equipment

1. Lower Startup Costs – Installing a traditional hood system can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Ventless fryers like AutoFry remove that expense entirely.
2. Location Flexibility – Without the need for an exhaust system, ventless commercial kitchen equipment can be placed in locations like kiosks, hotel lobbies, sports facilities, or even mobile food operations.
3. Quick Installation – Many ventless fryers are plug-and-play, so you can start cooking within minuts—not weeks.
4. Energy Savings – Without a hood pulling air from the kitchen, you reduce heating and cooling costs.
5. Safety & Consistency – AutoFry’s fully automated design protects employees from hot oil and delivers perfectly cooked food every time.
