GreaseShield Grease Traps: Installation, Maintenance and Servicing
GreaseShield grease traps are among the most trusted names in commercial grease management. They help kitchens across the UK stay free from costly blockages, separating fats, oils and grease (FOG) from wastewater before it reaches the drainage system.
GreaseShield units are a popular choice for busy commercial kitchens that need a dependable, low-maintenance solution. At Aqua Mundus, we supply, install, clean, maintain and repair GreaseShield grease traps nationwide.

What is a GreaseShield Grease Trap?
A GreaseShield grease trap works by slowing down wastewater as it leaves your kitchen, allowing fats, oils and grease (FOG) to naturally separate from the water. Because FOG is less dense than water, it rises to the surface and is captured within the unit, while cleaner water continues safely on to the drainage system.
Many GreaseShield systems automatically remove grease, which reduces the day-to-day burden on kitchen staff. GreaseShield units are used across a wide range of commercial food service settings, including:

FAQs: GreaseShield Grease Traps
-
How does the GreaseShield work?
A GreaseShield unit slows down wastewater as it passes through, allowing fats, oils and grease to rise and separate naturally. The cleaner water then flows on to the drainage system, while the separated FOG is safely captured for removal.
-
How often should GreaseShield units be cleaned?
Most GreaseShield units should be cleaned every one to three months, though this depends on your kitchen’s size and usage. Regular cleaning prevents blockages and helps to reduce odours.
-
What does it mean when a GreaseShield grease trap isn’t working?
A non-functioning unit may show signs such as slow drainage, bad odours or overflow. This usually points to a build-up of grease, a mechanical fault or incorrect installation, and should be looked at by an engineer.
-
Is GreaseShield maintenance required by law?
Yes. UK legislation requires all commercial hot food kitchens to manage fats, oils and grease responsibly. Regular maintenance keeps your GreaseShield unit compliant and helps you avoid fines or prosecution.
-
How are the units powered?
Many GreaseShield units, including automatic models, run on a standard mains electrical supply to power internal components such as heating elements and skimming mechanisms. However, manual units don’t need any power.
-
What happens to the food scraps?
Solid food waste is typically separated from the FOG during the trapping process and should be removed as part of routine cleaning. It needs to be disposed of responsibly, separately from the collected grease.
-
What size GreaseShield unit do I need?
The right size depends on your kitchen’s size and output. Our team can carry out a free site survey to recommend the most suitable GreaseShield unit for your business. We also have a free grease trap size calculator.
