Grease Guardian
Commercial Grease Management System

Advanced technology  automatically removes and harvests grease, reducing the need for manual cleaning.

Regulatory Compliance

Lower Maintenance Costs

Reducing the cost of grease in commercial kitchens

Fats, oils and grease entering wastewater systems are one of the leading causes of blocked pipes, sewer overflows and trade waste compliance issues.
Traditional grease traps often require large pits, frequent pump-outs and ongoing servicing — adding cost, downtime and hygiene risks.

Grease Guardian offers a smarter, automatic alternative.

How the Grease Guardian System Works

  1. Wastewater enters the unit
    Wastewater flows through a removable strainer basket that captures solids.

  2. Grease separation
    Fats and oils naturally rise to the surface while solids remain contained.

  3. Heated chamber
    An internal heater prevents grease from solidifying inside the unit.

  4. Automatic grease removal
    A skimming wheel transfers grease to an external collection container.

  5. Clean water discharge
    Filtered water exits safely to the sewer system.

Frequently Asked Questions
