Top Benefits of the ACO Grease Capture 2.0


Designed specifically for modern commercial kitchens where space, efficiency, and sustainability are priorities, this plug-and-play system offers several key advantages:


Effective Plumbing Protection

Helps prevent FOG from entering and accumulating in downstream drainage and sewer lines, reducing the risk of blockages and costly emergency plumbing repairs.


Automatic Grease Removal

Features an automatic grease removal system that transfers collected fats and grease into a dedicated external waste container, minimizing the need for messy manual skimming.


Quick and Easy Maintenance

Designed for simple daily maintenance, with quick-release covers, a removable internal dividing wall for periodic deep cleaning, and QR codes that provide convenient access to video instructions.


Energy-Efficient Operation

Equipped with a smart thermal control system and an external heating pad that does not contact the tank contents, helping optimize energy use during operation.


Certified Performance

Designed and certified in accordance with ASME A112.14.3 and A112.14.4 standards, providing confidence in its performance and reliability.


Compact and Retrofit-Friendly

Its compact stainless-steel construction, rotatable inlet and outlet connections, and flexible configuration make installation easier in space-constrained commercial kitchens and retrofit applications.


How It Works: Smart Two-Stage Separation


The ACO Grease Capture 2.0 uses an innovative two-chamber separation system with a specially designed coalescence gap.


As wastewater enters the unit, a dirt collection basket first captures larger food particles. The wastewater then passes through the separation chambers, where smaller grease droplets are encouraged to combine into larger droplets through the coalescence process.


This passive separation process requires no moving parts inside the separation chamber, helping simplify operation and maintenance. The separated FOG is then directed into an external collection container for convenient disposal.


Keep Your Kitchen Flowing Smoothly


From restaurants and hotels to commissaries, canteens, cafés, and bars, the ACO Grease Capture 2.0 helps you manage grease efficiently and keep your drainage system protected while making everyday kitchen maintenance easier.


With its compact design, automatic grease removal, easy maintenance, and proven separation technology, it is a practical solution for commercial kitchens looking to improve their FOG management.
