Abstract
A system for cooling grease without requiring water. The system utilizes metal balls that are systematically fed into a passageway containing grease at a certain temperature. The steel balls can be cooled to a set temperature before being introduced into the passageway and the grease. A certain amount of the cooled grease adheres to the periphery of the steel balls. The adhered grease is then removed by a ball wiper. A second embodiment of the invention utilizes cooled steel rods to cool grease in a grease chamber.
