Explore our precision-engineered range hood grease cup products designed for commercial and industrial ventilation hood assemblies.
The critical component that keeps your ventilation hood assembly clean, safe, and compliant.
A range hood grease cup is a precisely engineered collection vessel integrated into the ventilation hood assembly to capture, contain, and facilitate the safe disposal of grease-laden vapors that rise from cooking surfaces. As kitchen exhaust air passes through the baffle filters or mesh filters above the cooking line, grease particles are separated and channeled downward into the grease cup — preventing accumulation inside ductwork, reducing fire hazard, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
In commercial kitchens — from fast-food chains and hotel restaurants to hospital cafeterias and stadium concessions — the grease cup is not a secondary component. It is a frontline safety device. A properly sized, correctly positioned, and NSF-approved grease cup ensures that grease does not migrate into the exhaust fan, ductwork, or rooftop equipment where it could ignite or create costly maintenance issues.
Modern ventilation hood assemblies are increasingly sophisticated systems, and the grease cup must evolve accordingly. Today's premium grease cups are manufactured from 18-gauge or heavier stainless steel (Grade 304 or 430), feature keyhole-style mounting for tool-free removal, and meet NSF/ANSI 2 sanitation standards — all critical requirements for commercial foodservice operators.
Studies show that grease fires in commercial kitchens account for over 22% of all restaurant fires annually. A correctly specified and regularly maintained range hood grease cup is one of the most cost-effective fire prevention measures available to foodservice operators.
NSF Approved Stainless Steel Grease Cup — Green Leaf Hood Filters
What separates a high-performance range hood grease cup from a standard component — and why it matters for your ventilation hood assembly.
Our grease cups meet NSF/ANSI 2, UL 710, and CE standards — mandatory for commercial kitchen equipment in North America, Europe, and global markets. Certification ensures food-safe materials, dimensional compliance, and fire-safety performance.
Heavy-gauge stainless steel resists corrosion from acidic grease, high-temperature steam, and commercial cleaning chemicals. Smooth interior surfaces prevent grease adhesion and simplify cleaning — critical for HACCP compliance.
The keyhole slot design allows kitchen staff to remove, empty, and reinstall the grease cup in seconds — without tools. This dramatically reduces downtime during service and encourages more frequent cleaning intervals.
Standard grease cups are available in multiple capacities (from 1 qt to 2 gal). Custom dimensions, mounting configurations, and branding are available through our OEM/ODM program — ideal for hood manufacturers and equipment integrators.
Properly designed grease cups include overflow prevention features and are positioned to prevent grease dripping onto hot cooking surfaces. Compliance with NFPA 96 (Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations) is supported by our product design.
With 50+ partner countries and dedicated export logistics from our Shaoxing facility, Green Leaf delivers grease cups and ventilation components to distributors, kitchen equipment manufacturers, and foodservice chains on every continent.
The global demand for high-performance ventilation hood assemblies and grease management components is accelerating. Here's why.
The global commercial kitchen equipment market is projected to exceed $112 billion by 2030, driven by rapid expansion of quick-service restaurants, ghost kitchens, cloud kitchens, and institutional foodservice. Every new kitchen installation requires a compliant ventilation hood assembly — and a certified grease cup is a mandatory component of that assembly.
Hospitals, military bases, correctional facilities, and large-scale food processing plants are upgrading aging ventilation infrastructure to meet tightening fire codes and health department regulations. This creates a sustained demand for replacement grease cups, drain fittings, and complete hood assembly components.
Emerging IoT-enabled grease management systems now integrate sensors into grease cups and drain assemblies to monitor fill levels in real time, alerting kitchen managers via mobile app when emptying is required. Green Leaf is actively developing compatible hardware interfaces for next-generation smart ventilation hood assemblies.
An increasing number of municipalities now mandate grease trap compliance and used cooking oil (UCO) recycling programs. High-capacity, leak-proof grease cups that facilitate clean grease collection are becoming preferred by operators who partner with biodiesel producers and grease recycling services — turning a waste stream into a revenue opportunity.
Major hood manufacturers in North America and Europe are increasingly sourcing grease cups and ventilation components from certified Chinese factories to reduce costs while maintaining quality standards. Factory-direct partnerships with manufacturers like Green Leaf — offering UL, NSF, and CE certified products — are replacing multi-tier distribution models.
Health departments, fire marshals, and insurance underwriters are conducting more frequent commercial kitchen inspections. Non-compliant or missing grease cups result in failed inspections, fines, and insurance claim denials. This regulatory pressure is a key driver of replacement part demand across all market segments.
Green Leaf provides one-stop kitchen ventilation and component appliance solutions across diverse commercial and industrial environments.
