How The GreaseShield Works

Stage 1: Automated Food Solids Removal

Effluent from Sinks, Ovens and other appliances enters the GreaseShield.

Food solids automatically get screened and dewatered by an inclined auger or pre-filter and   deposited into an external Food Solids Collection container.

Stage 2: Automated Grease Separation

GreaseShield takes advantage of waste thermal energy present in the effluent to remove emulsified animal fats and FOGs before they solidify, using a combination of retaining baffles, reverse flow configuration and the differing specific gravities of water and FOGs which are complemented by thermal layers within the effluent.
All of these factors, working in conjunction with the properties of the unique oleophilic  (attracts FOGs) and hydrophobic (repels water) FOG removal means, ensures that the objective of protecting drainage systems is achieved.

When the FOGs Container is attached to the GreaseShield, a silicone rubber blade with anti friction properties makes contact with the slowly rotating drum allowing the FOGs to be removed externally for recycling and safe disposal.

The treated effluent then flows under the outlet baffle and out to drain.

Stage 3: Automated Self Cleaning

GreaseShield reuses and recirculates grey water , agitating the internal tank with intermittent cleaning cycles removing fine sedimentation and back washing internal filters preventing foul smells. 

This removes staff requirements to access the internal of the GreaseShield and eliminates any recurring expense for licensed waste contractors to pump out and dispose of GreaseShield contents.
