CASE STUDY: COMMERCIAL FACILITIES (BEER GARDENS & BEER HALLS)
Completely Eliminating Midsummer Odors! Automating Harsh Grease Trap Cleaning at a Beer Garden to Achieve a Comfortable Dining Space
Installed Model: Grease Trap Purification System AIC Grease Ozonizer®
■ Challenges Before Installation: Severe Midsummer Odors and the Limits of Oil Absorbent Sheets
At a beer garden in a major commercial facility, the rapid filling of the grease trap due to large amounts of animal fats (lard) discharged from fried foods and meat dishes was a serious issue. Especially during summer operations when temperatures soar, putrid odors from the grease trap drifted into the seating areas and neighboring tenant spaces, risking complaints from customers.
Previously, they used commercially available “oil absorbent sheets" to scoop up the surface oil. However, because these were consumed in massive quantities daily, the sheer cost of the sheets resulted in immense running expenses. Furthermore, the task of disposing of the heavy, oil-soaked sheets as combustible waste was extremely grueling, placing a heavy burden on the staff.
- Risk of Odor Complaints: Intense putrid odors diffusing into seating areas as temperatures rise.
- Harsh Working Environment: The grueling task of disposing of heavy, sludgy oil absorbent sheets.
- Increasing Cleaning & Consumable Costs: The daily expense of oil absorbent sheets and frequent vacuum cleaning.

■ The Decisive Factor: “Overwhelming Deodorization" Protecting the Dining Environment and “Fully Automated Cleaning"
Resolving “bad odors," which directly impact dining satisfaction, is a top priority. The AIC Grease Ozonizer® utilizes the powerful oxidative decomposition of ozone to fundamentally destroy odor-causing bacteria, instantly eliminating unpleasant smells.
Furthermore, it severs the molecular bonds of hardened white lard, transforming it into a smooth, water-soluble state. This completely eliminates the previously troublesome “recovery work using oil absorbent sheets." Cleaning staff only need to discard the large debris caught in the strainer basket. The system’s stable durability and its “fully automated purification system"—which minimizes staff labor and consumable costs to the absolute limit—were the decisive factors in their choice.
■ Effects After Installation: Zero Odors! Cost Reduction and Improved Working Environment Achieved Without Absorbent Sheets
After installation, the thick lard layer inside the grease trap liquefied within days, and the amount of oil floating on the surface decreased drastically. The biggest concern, “odors leaking into the seating area," was completely resolved, allowing them to maintain a comfortable dining space even in midsummer.
Moreover, the grueling task of dealing with heavy oil absorbent sheets, which had plagued the staff, was completely eliminated, vastly improving the harsh working environment and helping to prevent employee turnover. Additionally, the daily cost of absorbent sheets was reduced to zero, and the frequency of expensive vacuum cleaning was kept to a minimum. The expenses saved remained directly as profit for the restaurant, realizing an ideal cost-reduction cycle.
- ✅ Complete Odor Block: Zero complaints about odors leaking into seating areas or neighboring facilities.
- ✅ Liberation from Harsh Cleaning: Disposal of oil absorbent sheets was eliminated, drastically reducing staff burden.
- ✅ Significant Cost Reduction: Zero cost for sheets and a substantial cut in vacuum cleaning maintenance expenses.

Specialist Insights: Fundamentally Resolving “Bad Odors" That Degrade the Dining Experience
No matter how delicious the food or wonderful the atmosphere, foul odors from the grease trap drifting from the kitchen can ruin a customer’s dining experience. Especially in environments where the seating area is close to the kitchen, the diffusion of smells can directly lead to a negative image for the entire facility.
Rather than using air fresheners to mask the smell or relying heavily on oil absorbent sheets that burden the staff, automatically decomposing and annihilating the “odor sources and fats" themselves with the AIC Grease Ozonizer® is the shortest route to creating a comfortable restaurant that customers will continue to choose.
