Grease traps & fat separators are essential for commercial kitchens that produce trade waste containing fats, oils and grease. Commonly used in restaurants, takeaways, cafés, pubs and food production environments, these systems help prevent blockages, reduce drainage issues and support day-to-day grease management.
Grease traps and fat separators work by separating fats and grease from wastewater before it enters the main drainage system. This protects plumbing infrastructure and reduces the risk of costly repairs, environmental damage and potential fines. Suitability depends on the unit specification, installation and maintenance. Check the requirements for your premises with your installer and local water company.
Commercial grease traps and fat separators are designed for continuous use and are typically manufactured from durable stainless steel for long-term reliability. These units are built to withstand demanding kitchen environments while allowing for straightforward inspection, cleaning and maintenance.
Selecting the correct grease trap or fat separator depends on factors such as kitchen size, waste output and installation location. Compact under-sink units are suitable for smaller food outlets, while higher-capacity models are ideal for busy kitchens producing larger volumes of waste water.
Before ordering, check the unit dimensions, pipe connections and space needed to access the lid for cleaning. Confirm the required flow capacity for your installation and plan regular inspection and cleaning in line with the manufacturer's instructions.
