We recently wrapped up our Galway Roadshow, where we had the pleasure of visiting a variety of food outlets including restaurants, delis, and hotels across the city. Our main objective was to evaluate their existing grease management systems and offer expert guidance on protecting their plumbing while ensuring compliance with Irish Water and Health and Safety Regulations.
During our visits, we recommended our Automatic Grease Removal Devices (AGRDs) to businesses seeking a reliable, high-performance solution for grease management. These advanced units restore full operational capacity every 24 hours, eliminating the need for bulky tanks and frequent pump-outs. By choosing our AGRDs, kitchens can maintain a more hygienic environment, significantly reducing the risk of clogs and unpleasant odours. Our units are recommended by Irish Water and fully comply with local regulations.
What is a Grease Guardian AGRD?
The Grease Guardian AGRD is a compact grease separator, commonly referred to as a grease trap, designed for installation under sinks in commercial kitchens. While traditional grease traps are essential for removing waste oils from kitchen wastewater and preventing fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) from entering public sewers, the Grease Guardian AGRD offers a more advanced, efficient solution tailored to the needs of modern kitchens.
Key Features and Innovations
The Grease Guardian AGRD introduces several key innovations that distinguish it from conventional grease traps:
Automatic Grease Removal
Unlike traditional grease traps that rely on passive separation, Grease Guardian AGRDs actively skim and remove surface waste oil into an external collection container. This process ensures the separator is restored to full operational capacity every 24 hours.
Compact Design
The Grease Guardian AGRD features a compact design that easily fits under sinks or combi ovens in any commercial kitchen. Its innovative skimming technology reduces the need for bulky external tanks and frequent pump-outs, optimising kitchen space and efficiency.
Protects Drainage Systems
Traditional manual grease traps are usually installed underground or outside the premises, where grease can accumulate and cause blockages. In contrast, Grease Guardian AGRDs are installed directly at the source—in your commercial kitchen—preventing grease from clogging pipes and safeguarding your drainage system.
Sustainability
One of the standout features of the Grease Guardian AGRD is its ability to harvest waste oil with less than 1% impurities. This dewatered oil, free from food particles, can be efficiently converted into biofuel, contributing to a more sustainable waste management process in commercial kitchens.
