Grease Traps

Most models feature a two chambered tank that is lined along the waste water drain pipe. When choosing a grease trap be sure to choose one the effectively slows down the passing waste water. It should be able to hold successfully all the kitchen wastewater used during a 20 minute interval. If your kitchen is heavily used, your grease trap should be a minimum of 55 gallons while its length should be twice its depth. Furthermore, the inlet pipe of your chosen trap should be bent at 90% downwards so that incoming water is stopped below the trap.

Size and Material of Grease Traps

Our techs can help you determine the correct size of the trap your business needs. The size is based on the rate of water coming in gallons per minute. The trap size is named in terms of capacity (the flow rate *2). So a 20 gallons per minute trap would be rated with a capacity of 40 pounds. A simple formula is to take the total area of your sink, then multiply this by .003. Your product will be the total amount of liquid in gallons your sink can hold. This is the minimum size your grease trap must be. Grease traps are typically made of hard plastic, concrete, or fiberglass. The location of the grease trap will be determined by its purpose. Some traps are connected to dishwashers while others are placed underground.
