Grease Trap is a container that installed on sink to trap fats and separates fatty oils and grease from water of cooking pans and dirty plates in your kitchen. Without a grease trap will drive to form fatbergs and blocked pipes.
Without grease trap, the fats continue flow through the pipes and solidify in it. Eventually it will block the drainage system and causing foul smells. As the fats solidify, they create a very solid blockage called a fatberg, which can lead to floods of raw sewage in and around your business. A simple, well-maintained grease trap will capture the fatbergs and stop it entering the sewer and turning into a monster fatberg.
Here are 6 ways a grease trap will help you:
1. Stop blockages in your pipe
2. Eliminating foul odours
3. Saving money - Avoid spending money to clear the blockages that causing flood on the sewage system.
4. Avoid pest infestation
5. Avoiding prosecution (from authority)
6. Help keeping you in business
In addition, food business owner can establish good practice of disposal to maintain the grease trap well and reduce maintaining cost. Scraped food and food waste to be put into garbage can to stop fats, oil, and grease from getting into your kitchen pipes, causing backups. Here are some recommended practices for your reference:
- Install screens under all sinks and drains so the solid waste such as rice, noodles etc that were cook in big quantity.
- Clean up any spills that might occur using a towel and clean in garbage can. Avoid using mop as the waste will eventually just down the drain.
- Put notice in kitchen that no grease should be poured, swept or washed into the drains.
- Make sure that no hot water at temperatures of 63°C or more is poured down or connected to the drains. If the water is more than 63°C, fats oil and grease will melt and bypass the grease trap straight into the water stream.
- Avoid disposals such as food grinders to get into the pipes, getting clogged and causing future backups.
Installing a grease trap is essential especially in food business such as canteen, restaurants and food processors that produce a lot of oil and solid waste. We do not encourage such waste is threw in the pipes but this is one of the precautions steps to avoid blockage. For more detail, kindly contact the specialist in this matter.
