Sustainability is a core principle at EPAS.

GreaseShield® is an advanced, eco-friendly grease management solution developed specifically for commercial kitchens. Suitable for use with sinks, combi ovens and other kitchen appliances, it uses a unique reverse flow configuration combined with a self-cleaning mechanism to maximise grease separation efficiency. This innovative solution ensures that FOG is effectively removed before it can enter the drainage system, significantly reducing the risk of blockages and associated downtime.
One of the key advantages of GreaseShield® is its fully automated operation. GreaseShield® features automatic grease removal and filtration, minimising the need for manual intervention. This not only saves time for kitchen staff but also enhances operational reliability. In addition, GreaseShield® is fully programmable, allowing it to be tailored to the specific requirements of each kitchen environment. This flexibility ensures optimal performance while maintaining energy efficiency.
Beyond its technical capabilities, GreaseShield® delivers tangible financial and environmental benefits. By preventing FOG-related drainage issues, businesses can avoid expensive reactive maintenance and potential environmental penalties. Its energy-efficient design helps reduce power consumption, contributing to lower operating costs. The compact and user-friendly design also ensures straightforward installation and maintenance, making it a practical solution for businesses seeking to improve both efficiency and sustainability.
Complementing GreaseShield® is FilterShield™, a cost-effective solution for the separation of food waste, coffee grounds and starch from wastewater. Designed for installation under coffee machines, sinks and potato rumblers, FilterShield™ provides an immediate and effective protection against non-flushable waste entering drainage systems.
With no moving parts, no energy requirements and no need for replacement filters, FilterShield™ offers a low-maintenance solution that delivers consistent performance. Daily operation requiring only the emptying and cleaning of interchangeable baskets. This ease of use makes it an ideal choice for busy kitchen environments where time and resources are limited.
By capturing solid waste before it enters the drainage system, FilterShield™ helps to prevent blockages, reduce maintenance issues and extend the lifespan of pipework. It also supports improved hygiene and operational standards, contributing to a more efficient and compliant kitchen environment.
