About GreaseShield®

GreaseShield® separates and removes food solids and fats, oils and greases. GreaseShield® prevents blockages in drains and protects pumping stations whilst significantly reducing the loading on wastewater treatment plants. The recurring need to pump grease traps and refill with clean water is eliminated as is the use of biological agents, enzymes, and chemicals. Frequent pumping costs are eliminated.

How does the GreaseShield® work?
The GreaseShield® is a pro-active mechanical grease trap that operates in real time removing food waste and FOGs. It uses a patented design of cooperating baffles, including a magnetic baffle that encourages in-situ bioremediation without the need for additives, a reverse flow configuration, and recirculation of grey water plus recycling of waste thermal energy to remove FOGs before they solidify.

The GreaseShield® also removes and dewaters solid food waste by means of a PreFilter or FilterShield™ to prevent anaerobic foul-smelling conditions brought about by biological activity, depleting the dissolved oxygen present in the effluent. The GreaseShield® does not require any frequent pumping or chemical dosing, nor does it use a heating element like other automatic type units that are expensive to run and are a potential fire risk.

GreaseShield® Benefits

GreaseShield® Power Consumption

The power consumption of the GreaseShield®
The GreaseShield® has the lowest power consumption of all automatic grease trap/interceptors, typically as low as 16w per hour. This is due to GreaseShield® being the world’s first proactive unit that actively works when your kitchen is working to remove fats, oils, and grease in real-time, without the use of heating elements. The GreaseShield® utilises waste thermal energy present in the effluent to remove FOGs before they get a chance to solidify.

The energy consumption of the Greaseshield® is the lowest in its class. Compared to competitor grease removal systems that use heating elements within them.

The heating elements are not only very expensive to run and maintain but can also cause a fire risk within the kitchen. Heating elements that come into contact with fats oils and grease will begin to cook the grease and eventually catch fire as seen in the image below.

Keep FOGs Out Of The Drainage System

Prep

Not all drain blockages are caused by fats, oils, and grease. Food waste that is discharging from food preparation sinks, potato peelers coffee machines, etc., are all causing blockages and drain cleaning costs. Remove the solids at the source and don’t give them a chance to block your drains!

Cook

The cooking process is one of the highest fats, oils, and grease contamination points that needs protecting. FOGs that are permitted to enter the drain from Convection ovens, Combi ovens, Multisserie/ Rotisserie ovens, and Wok cooking stations will cause drain blockages. Protect at source and remove fats, oils, grease, and food waste before they get a chance to cost you money!

Clean

The cleaning process within a kitchen is one of the highest fats, oils, grease & food waste contributors. From various types of pot wash & pre-rinse sinks to dishwashers, pot wash machines, and utensil washers they are all discharging high volumes of fats, oils, grease, and food waste to the drain that will lead to expensive drain cleaning costs. Protect at source and remove fats, oils, grease, and food waste before they get a chance to cost you money!
