Passive Grease Traps for Commercial Kitchens
A simple, cost-effective way to manage Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) in your commercial kitchen.
A passive grease trap, also known as a fat trap or grease interceptor, is a practical solution for capturing FOG before it enters your drainage system. At Filta, we supply and install grease traps UK wide, helping businesses stay compliant with environmental regulations while reducing the risk of drain blockages and foul odours.
Key Benefits of Passive Grease Traps
Cost-effective
These units operate without any external energy source, keeping running costs low and reliability high.
Compact Design
Their small footprint makes them ideal for commercial kitchens with limited under-sink or back-of-house space.
Flexible Placement Options
Choose between stainless steel (great for indoor use) and epoxy-coated steel units (suitable for outdoor or underground installation).
Environmentally Compliant
Capture FOG before it enters the sewer system, protecting local infrastructure and staying compliant with UK regulations.
Why You Need a Grease Trap for Your Commercial Kitchen
If your commercial kitchen produces grease, you need a grease trap. Here’s why:
Compliance with UK Regulations
Water companies and local authorities expect food service businesses to manage FOG responsibly. A properly maintained grease trap helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties or even business closure.
Prevents Drain Blockages
FOG hardens as it cools, leading to blockages or bad smells. A fat trap captures grease before it causes damage.
Protects the Environment
FOG pollution contributes to sewage overflows and environmental harm. By trapping grease at the source, you’re helping to protect local waterways.
Saves You Money
Avoid emergency drainage call-outs, drain jetting, and repair bills. Passive grease traps are a small investment with long-term benefits.

Passive Grease Trap vs Grease Recovery Unit
While both systems tackle FOG, passive grease traps are low-maintenance and don’t require power. They’re a cost-effective solution for kitchens that don’t produce large volumes of grease.
If you need a more advanced system, our Grease Recovery Units (GRUs) might be a better fit. Find out more about GRUs.
