Grease Lightening

Getting rid of fat is always an issue in food outlets. Cleveland Biotech (01642 606 606) has come up with a solution called The GreaseBeta, which is installed in centres including The Trafford Centre, MetroCentre, Meadowhall and Bluewater.

The biological grease management system is designed to automatically dose a measured amount of biofluid into the kitchens' drains so that it digests fat and avoids drain blockages.

MD Ben Hoskyns says: "The technology sits in the biofluid that you put down the drains.

Centre managers should make this standard across all cafes and food courts - everywhere a chip is fried - because it costs them a fortune if the drains get blocked", he adds.
