Below is a list of Grease Kettles manufacturers from West Allis, Wisconsin. Grease kettles are pressurized tanks that are used to manufacture grease, a type of lubricant. They steam heat, mix and then cool the ingredients used to make lubricating grease, a substance widely used in industrial manufacturing processes.

It is usually made from calcium, sodium or lithium soap and mixed with mineral or vegetable oil.
