Managing grease in commercial kitchens can be a daunting task, but the FiltaFOG Cyclone makes it straightforward, efficient, and environmentally friendly. This innovative Grease Removal Unit (GRU) revolutionises grease management with its cutting-edge hydrocyclonic separation technology, helping commercial kitchens tackle fats, oils, and grease (FOG) with ease.
Below, we’ll explore how the FiltaFOG Cyclone works, its key features and benefits, and why it’s an essential tool for any commercial kitchen.
How Does the FiltaFOG Cyclone Work?
Hydrocyclonic Separation
The FiltaFOG Cyclone employs eight independent hydrocyclones to separate grease from wastewater. This advanced process creates a centrifugal force that isolates FOG particles efficiently, ensuring minimal grease enters your drainage system. By relying on this state-of-the-art technology, commercial kitchens can achieve a superior level of grease separation compared to traditional methods.
Two-Stage FOG Separation
The Cyclone’s two-stage separation process enhances efficiency further. First, food waste is screened out, reducing the risk of blockages. Then, FOG is removed and collected in a dedicated oil chute and cassette, ready for disposal or recycling. This streamlined method not only simplifies grease management but also promotes sustainability.
Features and Benefits of Filta Cyclone
Self-Closing Inlet
The self-closing inlet is designed for optimal performance by preventing unnecessary air ingress. This ensures the separation process remains efficient while maintaining a clean and odour-free kitchen environment.
FOG Collection
The all-in-one oil chute and cassette make grease collection straightforward and mess-free. The design prioritises user convenience, allowing easy handling and disposal of collected grease.
Minimal Food Waste
Food waste screening is integral to the FiltaFOG Cyclone. By removing solid debris before it enters the system, the unit reduces blockages and ensures smooth operation, saving kitchen operators time and money.
Environmental and Economic Advantages
High-Quality Recovered Oil
The oil collected by the FiltaFOG Cyclone is of exceptional quality, making it suitable for biodiesel production. This environmentally friendly option not only reduces waste but also supports sustainable kitchen practices.
No Odours
Thanks to its sealed design, the FiltaFOG Cyclone eliminates the unpleasant smells commonly associated with grease traps. This feature ensures a more pleasant working environment for kitchen staff.
Low Energy Consumption
The Cyclone is a low-energy grease trap, keeping operational costs down without compromising performance. Its energy-efficient design makes it an attractive option for eco-conscious businesses.
Maintenance Simplicity
Maintaining the FiltaFOG Cyclone is quick and easy.
- Daily tasks: Empty the food waste screening basket and check the oil cassette for collection levels.
- Weekly tasks: Inspect the hydrocyclones and clean any accumulated debris to ensure optimal performance.
- Regular maintenance helps prevent blockages, maintains odour-free operation, and ensures compliance with regulations.
Conclusion
The FiltaFOG Cyclone offers a comprehensive solution to grease management for commercial kitchens. Its innovative hydrocyclonic separation, user-friendly design, and eco-friendly benefits make it an essential tool for restaurant owners, facility managers, and environmental health professionals. By reducing blockages, preventing odours, and enabling sustainable practices, the Cyclone ensures your kitchen runs smoothly while meeting regulatory standards.

FAQs
What are the key differences between grease traps, grease interceptors, and GRUs?
Grease traps: Installed under sinks, these small traps require frequent cleaning, ideally monthly. They handle low-volume grease flows.
Grease interceptors: Larger units suited for high-volume kitchens. These need cleaning around every three months.
GRUs: Advanced units like the FiltaFOG Cyclone screen food waste, automatically remove grease, and provide higher efficiency than traditional traps or interceptors.
What practices should be followed?
Regular maintenance ensures effective operation, avoiding blockages, odours, and higher costs. Non-compliance can lead to fines and legal issues under the Water Industry Act 1991.
