A Grease Trap prevents fats, oils, and grease (FOG) produced by commercial kitchens from entering the drainage system and causing blockages. They act as a filter between sinks and dishwashers and the main sewer system, preventing blockages that will require drain jetting. It is vital that businesses take responsibility with regard to the correct disposal of all FOG products. If a business has no measures in place to prevent FOG products from entering drains, such as suitable Grease Traps, they will be on the receiving end of a hefty cleaning bill and maybe even a fine and prosecution.

Grease Traps are for commercial kitchens and are installed in drains as an interceptor to separate oils, fats, grease and food waste from water which prevents these substances entering the public drainage system.
When waste is poured down the sink, it runs into the grease trap. Any solid matter sinks to the bottom, the water remains in the middle, and any lighter FOG floats on the top. Only the filtered wastewater flows into the drainage system.
All grease traps should be installed by a professional as the traps must be specified to the flow rate of your sinks and dishwashers. Contact Maintain Drains if you require Grease Trap Installation or grease trap maintenance.

A grease trap works by using the principle of gravity and buoyancy. When wastewater containing grease enters the trap, it slows down, allowing the grease to rise to the surface. The trapped grease is then separated from the water, which flows out of the trap and into the sewer system. The grease is retained in the trap until it is manually removed.
