Passive Grease Traps for Commercial Kitchens
A simple, cost-effective way to manage Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) in your commercial kitchen.
Managing Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is essential for any commercial kitchen. Passive grease traps provide an easy, cost-effective solution to prevent grease build-up, blockages, and environmental contamination. Whether you run a restaurant, café, or food truck, a grease trap from Filta ensures your kitchen stays compliant, clean, and efficient.
Filta offers a range of grease traps UK businesses rely on to safely separate fats and oils from wastewater, reducing the risk of blockages and costly fines.
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
Installing a grease trap for your sink is essential for any food business. Kitchens without a grease separator risk fines, drain damage, and environmental harm. Filta’s solutions include both traditional passive grease traps and advanced grease interceptors, giving you options that suit your kitchen size and FOG output.
