the GI twice a week. With the pre- rinse sink not being hooked up to the interceptor this facility was discharging a lot of grease into the sewer system. Shari’s had Grease+Gard® look
at their application to see what could be done to bring them in compliance with the city. They were able to take the pre-rinse sink and the double bowl sink and run the two sinks through a solids interceptor, then to the GI. They were able to take the Grease+Gard®, 8175GG and mount it on top of the grease interceptor. Now Shari’s was able to remove
mind. It is easy to install and can efficiently and economically accommodate most food service application operating on a continuous basis. The Grease+Gard® can be
configured to work with most existing grease interceptors. It can be retrofitted on any grease interceptor, metal or plastic and can be purchased as a system complete with unit. The Grease+Gard® are available in the most common sizes. The 8165 and 8175GRDs are available in 20, 25, 35 and 50 g.p.m. The 8166 and 8176, Low Type GRD’s are available in 20, 35, and 50 g.p.m. l
patent pending technology that automatically removes fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from any interceptor before it becomes a problem. The main principles of the system are easily understood. The Grease+Gard® system has a belt and heater assembly that is controlled by a 24-hour timer. Upon a given schedule the heater warms up the water in the interceptor and the Agitator propeller helps to liquefy the FOG to be extracted. The belt assembly picks up the FOG that is skimmed into a trough. From there it flows into a storage reservoir attached to the side of the Grease+Gard® Skimmer. The FOG reservoir is then emptied as needed. By using the Grease+Gard®
Retrofit Skimmer (installed on an existing grease interceptor) or by installing a Grease+Gard® GRD you are able to remove FOG before it gets out of the kitchen area. A Grease+Gard® system will protect the pipes between the kitchen and the outside interceptor.
