The FM Environmental Grease Guardian X series automatic grease removal unit (GRU) is a
totally engineered system for separating free floating grease and oils from drain water flows.
The separated grease and oils are trapped within the stainless steel tank and are automati-
cally recovered by the system. Only the “cleaned” water is allowed to pass through the sys-
tem into the drain lines. Each unit also separates solid food waste into a removable
basket. The Grease Guardian can be used in a wide variety of applications from restaurants
and food processing operations to many types of industrial operations.
Use of the Grease Guardian assures that costly sewer surcharges and fines are minimised or
eliminated through efficient separation and removal of the grease and oil. In addition, rapidly
escalating pumping and disposal costs, which are associated with conventional grease traps
or interceptors are also reduced or eliminated. The recovered grease and oils are virtually
water free so they can be collected by a local rendering company or recycler

Grease, solids and wastewater from the kitchen enters the Grease Guardian.
Solid food waste is caught in a removable cylindrical strainer.
A skimming cycle is set. The grease passes into the middle chamber through slots in
the baffle wall where it remains trapped. With the assistance of a heater the grease
rises to the surface forming a separated layer.
The liquefied grease adheres to the rotating skimming drum.
The grease passes down a scraper blade into a collection container where it can be
removed and disposed hygienically.
The treated water exits under a baffle wall and through the outlet to drain.
