Grease Trap

Grease Traps are essential for safely separating fats, oils and grease from wastewater before it reaches your drains. This range covers compact under-sink units, larger in-line interceptors and matching grease pumps for busy commercial sites. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels and takeaways, these units help you meet hygiene standards and protect your plumbing. Durable stainless steel construction ensures long service life and reliable performance in demanding Irish kitchens.

• Stainless steel grease traps in a choice of capacities, from small under-sink models to large floor-standing interceptors.
• Compact designs suited to tight back-of-house spaces while still delivering effective grease and oil separation.
• High-capacity units up to 140 litres for heavy-duty use in restaurants, hotels and production kitchens.
• Dedicated grease pump options to support efficient removal and disposal of collected fats and oils.
• Solutions that help prevent blockages, reduce odours and support compliance with local wastewater regulations.
• Robust commercial-grade build quality for long-term reliability in professional catering environments.

How to choose the right Grease Traps

• Assess your peak service volume and choose a trap capacity that can comfortably handle your busiest periods without frequent emptying.
• Measure available space under sinks or along waste lines to decide between compact under-sink units and larger external interceptors.
• Opt for stainless steel construction for maximum durability, easier cleaning and better resistance to corrosion in commercial kitchens.
• Consider how the trap will be accessed for maintenance and cleaning, ensuring lids and connections are easy to reach.
• Match inlet and outlet sizes to your existing pipework to simplify installation and maintain proper flow rates.
• For high-grease sites, look at pairing the trap with a grease pump to streamline safe removal and disposal.

Care and maintenance

• Set a regular schedule to inspect and empty the grease trap before it reaches maximum capacity to avoid blockages and odours.
• Clean internal baffles and chambers using non-abrasive tools to maintain efficient separation performance.
• Avoid pouring harsh chemicals or solvents into the system, as these can damage seals and reduce effectiveness.
• Check lids, gaskets and pipe connections periodically for leaks and replace worn components promptly.
• Rinse stainless steel surfaces with warm water and mild detergent, then dry where accessible to minimise corrosion risk.
• Keep clear records of cleaning and waste disposal to support environmental compliance and inspections.
