Better Grease Management. Less Impact on Our Environment.
What happens to fats, oils and grease after they leave a commercial kitchen matters. GreaseShield is designed to remove FOG from wastewater before it enters downstream drainage, helping kitchens take a more responsible approach to grease management.
The Environmental Problem Doesn't End at the Kitchen Sink.
Commercial kitchens produce wastewater containing fats, oils and grease through everyday activities such as food preparation, washing dishes and cleaning cooking equipment.
When FOG enters drainage systems, it can accumulate inside pipework and contribute to blockages. These blockages can cause wastewater to back up and, in some circumstances, contribute to sewer flooding and pollution.
Effective grease management helps tackle the problem at source. Rather than relying solely on dealing with grease further downstream, kitchens can take steps to separate and collect it before discharge.
Designed to Make a Difference.
GreaseShield combines automatic grease separation and removal with an energy-conscious approach to commercial kitchen wastewater management.
Removing FOG at Source
GreaseShield automatically separates and removes recovered FOG from commercial kitchen wastewater, helping reduce the grease entering downstream drains.
Helping Protect Drainage
By reducing FOG discharge, effective grease management can help limit a contributing cause of drainage build-up, sewer blockages and the associated pollution risks.
Energy-Conscious Engineering
GreaseShield is engineered to operate using low-power automatic recovery mechanisms, with design features that make use of thermal energy already present in kitchen wastewater.
It's Not Just About Catching Grease.
Traditional passive grease traps separate and retain FOG until it is removed during maintenance. GreaseShield takes a different approach by automatically transferring recovered FOG into an external collection container.
The goal is straightforward: separate grease from wastewater and remove it from the flow, rather than allowing recovered grease to remain in the main separation chamber.
Collected grease must still be stored and disposed of or recovered through an appropriate waste-management route.
Learn About Removal, Not RetentionWastewater Enters
FOG-contaminated kitchen wastewater enters the unit.
FOG Is Separated
The separation process allows grease to be recovered from wastewater.
Recovered Grease Is Removed
Automatic recovery transfers separated FOG into a collection container.
Wastewater Exits
Wastewater leaves the unit with reduced FOG loading.
Environmental Thinking Built Into the Technology.
GreaseShield has been engineered to use low-power mechanical separation and recovery rather than relying on high-energy operation as its central process.
The system also makes use of heat already contained in incoming kitchen wastewater to support grease separation. Actual energy consumption depends on the model and operating conditions.
This approach forms part of the overall environmental consideration behind GreaseShield: how equipment performs during everyday use, not simply how it is manufactured.
Environmental Performance Backed by Documentation.
Environmental claims are more useful when customers and specifiers can examine the information behind them.
GreaseShield has existing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), providing documented environmental information for relevant products.
EPDs support more informed assessments of environmental performance and can help consultants, designers and procurement teams when comparing product information.

Good Kitchen Practices
Keep waste cooking oil and food scraps out of sinks, train kitchen staff and use appropriate waste collection arrangements.
Appropriate Equipment
Select grease management equipment that matches the kitchen's wastewater flow, operations and installation conditions.
Ongoing Maintenance
Regularly maintain equipment and arrange responsible collection and management of recovered FOG and other waste materials.
