Know your Grease Trap
What is the real difference between a grease trap and a grease interceptor?
Grease traps are in-ground tanks that are designed to limit FOGs (fats, oils and greases) from entering the sewer system. They generally require monthly inspection and periodic cleaning. While grease interceptors are usually located near a sink and they slow down the flow of grease. Interceptors must be properly cleaned at least once a week.
An Automatic Grease Removal Device, or AGRD, is similar in size and location to a grease interceptor. But it’s different because it separates FOG (fats, oils and greases) from the unit. They are also cheaper to install since they do not require long and expensive construction.
The Drain-Net Big Dipper is an AGRD that removes free-floating grease and oils from kitchens drain water flows. A major problem in industrial kitchens is drain blockage and the Big Dipper is here to help. Use of this product eliminates extra cost and keeps your drain functioning at its best.
