Commercial Grease Trap Restaurant Kitchen Equipment Waste Grease Trap Oil Water Separator for Restaurant Kitchen Wastewater

What is a grease trap？
Grease traps have been around for more than 100 years and are also known as grease interceptors, converters, catchers, grease recovery / management devices or fog traps. They’re used in in a wide range of environments including:
Restaurants
Cafes
Takeaways
Pubs, bars and inns
Hotels
Schools and colleges
Bakeries
To put it simply, a grease trap is a receptacle into which wastewater containing fog flows through before entering a drainage system. The receptacle is designed to intercept or “trap” the FOG while allowing clear water to escape.

How does a grease trap work?
Grease traps work on the basis that animal fats and vegetable oils (grease) are 10 to 15 percent less dense than water and that grease won’t mix with water. Thus, fats and oils float on top of water.
When wastewater enters a grease trap, the flow rate is reduced enough so the wastewater is given enough time to cool and separate into 3 layers. The grease rises to the top inside the interceptor and is trapped using a system of baffles. Solids settle at the bottom and the separated clear water escapes under an outlet baffle. Many grease traps also have strainers for collecting solid debris, which reduces the amount of solids that settle at the bottom of the trap.
Over time, solids and grease build-up, and if left to accumulate for long enough they can start to escape through the outlet and in some circumstances, they can back-up through the inlet. For this reason, the trap must be cleaned / pumped out on a regular basis.
The time between cleaning / pumping out the trap will depend on the amount of wastewater produced and the size of the grease trap but it is usually every 2-4 weeks. This time-period can be lengthened to up to 8 weeks by adding a biological grease treatment fluid into the system. The solution combines non-pathogenic bacteria with nutrients and enzym

Premium Material: The mechanical gravity oil-water separator is made of heavy-duty 1.2mm thickness 201 stainless steel, which is sturdy, , rust-proof, anti-corrosion, hard to deform, easy to maintain and has a long service life. It is also designed with a removable stainless steel inside filter basket with dense mesh, which can effectively collect the solid waste and grease in the first step.
Reliable Sealing Design: Coming with locking clasps on both sides and rubber seal strip inside the lid to prevent side leakage of sewage, firmly welded water inlet and drain outlet are designed with thread so that can be connected to the water pipes tightly, this commercial grease interceptor is featured with excellent sealing effect.
Easy To Install: Our mechanical gravity oil-water separator has a compact structure, simple interface connection and installation, and a small footprint. Connect the tubing of the sink and dishwasher to the inlet of the grease collector, and then drain the outlet of the grease collector directly through the pipe. Make sure to place it on a flat floor.
Practical Under-Sink & Countertop Filtration Our oil-water separator is suitable for treating oily water of mineral oil, animal oil, vegetable oil, mixed oil and all kinds of emulsified oil. It has efficient oil-water separation effect and is for kitchen, restaurant, coffee shop, factory, school or small sink or dishwasher applications.
Operating Principle：Grease traps work on the basic principle that fog’s (Fats, oils & grease float on water and solid particles sink. As the inflow of wastewater from the sinks enters the grease trap, the fats, oils, and greases rise to the surface and are trapped between the baffle plates. The baffles on the outlet prevent fog’s from flowing directly through the unit.
