Grease Management Shouldn't Just Retain the Problem. It Should Remove It.
Installing grease management equipment isn't the same as actually managing grease. Discover the difference between traditional grease retention and GreaseShield's automatic removal technology.
Discover the DifferenceInstalling a Grease Trap Isn't the End of the Story.
Commercial kitchens generate fats, oils and grease every day. From cooking equipment and pot-wash sinks to dishwashers and food preparation, FOG enters wastewater from numerous sources.
Traditional grease traps are designed to separate and retain grease until it can be collected and removed. But the grease remains inside the system between cleaning intervals.
GreaseShield takes a fundamentally different approach. Rather than simply storing separated grease, it automatically extracts it from wastewater into an external collection container.
Two Different Approaches to Grease Management.
Both approaches aim to separate grease from wastewater. The important difference is what happens to that grease next.
Grease Retention
A conventional passive grease trap separates FOG from wastewater and retains it inside the tank until scheduled cleaning or pump-out.
The captured grease accumulates within the system. Its continued performance depends on appropriate sizing, inspection and regular removal of the retained material.
Automatic FOG Removal
GreaseShield separates fats, oils and grease from wastewater, then automatically extracts the separated FOG into an external collection container.
Rather than allowing recovered grease to remain in the main separation chamber, GreaseShield transfers it into a separate container for routine collection and disposal.

Designed to Remove. Not Just Store.
At the heart of GreaseShield is a specially engineered FOG removal roller.
The roller is oleophilic, meaning it attracts fats, oils and grease, and hydrophobic, meaning it repels water.
GreaseShield uses a combination of internal baffles and reverse flow to assist FOG separation and direct it towards the roller. The roller extracts the FOG, while a wiper blade transfers the recovered material into an external collection container.
This process allows grease removal to take place automatically during the system's programmed operating hours.

FOG-contaminated wastewater enters the GreaseShield system.
FOG Is Separated
Internal flow management and baffles assist the separation process.
The Roller Extracts FOG
Grease adheres to the specially engineered roller and is lifted from wastewater.
FOG Is Collected
A wiper removes the FOG from the roller and directs it into an external container.
A Different Approach. Practical Benefits.
Automatic grease removal is about more than the mechanism inside the equipment. It changes how separated grease is handled during everyday kitchen operations.
Less Grease Retention
Recovered FOG is transferred out of the main separation chamber rather than being stored there until pump-out.
Automatic Operation
FOG extraction operates during programmed hours without staff having to manually skim grease from the wastewater.
Drainage Protection
Effective separation and removal help reduce the quantity of FOG reaching downstream drainage systems.
Routine Waste Collection
Separated FOG is collected externally, allowing kitchen staff to empty and manage the container as required.
Commercial Kitchen Design
GreaseShield is designed for wastewater conditions encountered during real kitchen operations.
Long-Term Cost Considerations
Consider cleaning, servicing, waste handling, energy and drainage maintenance alongside the initial purchase price.
