When we are called to a blockage in a household, then one of the most common problems is usually the clogging of the sink. No wonder, since the sink handles a lot of "traffic" in our home. Sure, it happens many times, that some of the leftover food ends up in the sink, which is a direct consequence in the long run: clogging of the structure! In the case of our household, this is the only way we can help, if we take care of it, to rinse the dishes beforehand. A poharak és a tányérok így a nagyobb részecskéktől mentesen kerülhetnek a mosogatóba.

However, in the case of large-scale kitchens, due to the volume of traffic, we have to choose another solution. Namely, the grease trap equipment, or - as it is also called differently - the grease trap.

Usually, there is not that much space in the apartments, which would allow the installation of a grease trap. However, in the case of industrial kitchens, it is advisable to use the structure, which is the primary reason: protecting our environment

Let's think about it: if an average-sized family only washes dishes annually 150-250 liter of waste water "produces", then what kind of environmental impact can all this mean in a kitchen with multiple traffic! It's no accident, that the use of grease capture equipment is also made mandatory by the relevant legislation in that restaurant, and in the kitchens of other catering premises, where high oil- és zsírtartalmú szennyvizek keletkeznek.

The operating principle of the grease trap is simple: the container separates liquid and solid impurities based on the specific gravity of the materials. Because the solid food residue goes into a separate container, so you don't have to, hogy a nagyobb részecskék keresztülhaladjanak a csatornarendszeren.

It is a simple structure, the use of which has several advantages. On the one hand, in industrial kitchens we can save ourselves from clogging caused by food residues, and from the associated unpleasant smell. On the other hand, since solid materials do not burden the sewer network, thus, we can prevent the pipeline from becoming greasy in the long term, and siltation, and the channel premature corrosion of its wall. Of course, the already mentioned aspect cannot be neglected either, miszerint a zsírok és az olajok megszűrésével környezetünket sem terheljük.

The equipment itself can be made of several materials. The most common is a grease trap made of stainless steel, but they are popular from PVC and polypropylene (PP) also made structures. Very important, to install the tank specialist do it, since it is a foundation for the reliable operation of the structure, and concreting is required. Roughly - depending on the type of equipment and the cost of labor 50-150 we can count between a thousand forints.

The grease separation equipment can be built both above and below ground, although the most common solution is a sink alá beépített szerkezet.

For that, so that the grease trap can fully perform its task, regular cleaning of the equipment is extremely important. Ideally, and from the turnover of the kitchen per month, but we clean the grease traps at least every quarter. The process itself is similar to sniffing the digestive pit, a zsírelválasztó berendezést itt is erre a célra kifejlesztett szívó és mosó tartályos gépkocsival szokták elvégezni.

Let's take care of it, that we must comply with strict regulations when cleaning the grease traps. Pursuant to the relevant occupational health and safety regulations, we must ensure the extraction of the fat-sludge waste mixture, about its removal, and its disposal. It is therefore advisable to entrust related tasks to professionals, because in this way we can avoid serious punishment.

The currently effective 220/2004. (VII. 21.) pursuant to government decree, which provides for the rules for the protection of surface water quality, they can even hit our business with a sewer fine of hundreds of thousands of forints, hogyha nem szabályszerűen végezzük el a zsírelválasztó berendezés tisztítását.
