Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery Device
"The Solution: Stop grease before it plugs the lines and reaches the environment."


Grease+Gard™  Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery DeviceThe Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery Device are designed to handle the problem of preventing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from plugging pipes or interfering with treatment of municipal wastewater. The Grease+Gard™ system can remove up to 98% of free floating FOG discharge commonly found at food service facilities and in commercial kitchens.

The Grease+Gard™ system was engineered with the commercial plumber and food facility owner in mind. It is easy to install and can efficiently and economically accommodate most kitchen, food processing plant or commercial industrial application operating on a continuous basis.

The Grease+Gard™ system is the ultimate alternative to a traditional grease interceptor. With a traditional grease interceptor, daily or weekly maintenance may be required. Failing to perform the regular maintenance can cause the piping to become clogged and the interceptor to overflow. This costly mishap requires clean-up of the kitchen areas and the expense of jetting the plumbing lines and pumping the interceptor. Clogs in piping coming from the food service area can also cause the sanitary sewer to overflow. The discharge of sewage from the sanitary sewer may reach free flowing waterways eventually draining into and polluting creeks, rivers, lakes, oceans and municipal reservoirs, all of which increase our health risks and can wreak havoc on the environment.

Grease+ Gard™  Retrofit SkimmerThe Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery Device use patent pending technology that automatically removes FOG from the 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.

 


“The Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer is the only patent pending retrofit automatic grease recovery system on the market today. This retrofit device can be installed on most grease interceptors with no plumbing changes, saving thousands by not having to replace the grease interceptor.”

With a Grease+Gard™ system, the piping system inside the building is protected from clogging and the interceptor is maintained on a regularly scheduled basis.

 The Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery Device can reduce the risk of:

Receiving a fine from a government agency because of a back-up problem,

Surcharges by the municipality to process FOG,
and

Frequent pump out schedules.

Our goal at Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. is to provide a solution and the equipment to minimize your initial cost and investment into FOG management, while maximizing the benefits you will receive from a technology that achieves efficient and practical method for grease removal. The Grease+Gard™ Retrofit Skimmer and Grease Recovery Device are the solutions you have been looking for in the kitchen.
