CASE STUDY

“Absolutely fantastic service from your colleagues. They explained the process of daily maintenance and suggested time frames for servicing so that all runs smoothly.”

— Wanda Burkowicz, Deputy Operations Manager, Britannia Hotels – Metropole Hotel Blackpool

The Metropole Hotel in Blackpool faced challenges with its kitchen grease management. Existing drainage systems were prone to blockages, and compliance with United Utilities regulations required a robust solution to prevent grease from entering the main sewer system. The hotel needed a compact, efficient solution that could handle high volumes while remaining easy for staff to maintain.

Filta supplied and installed a GMC100 grease recovery unit under the prewash sink of the hotel kitchen. Key aspects of the solution included:

• Installation of the GMC100 grease recovery unit on adjustable legs to allow staff easy access for cleaning.
• Connection to the prewash sink only, following United Utilities guidance to avoid dishwasher connections.
• Drop test completed and confirmed efficient water flow.
• Staff training provided to the kitchen team, led by Filta, on daily maintenance and operational procedures.
• A comprehensive maintenance plan is put in place to ensure consistent performance and compliance.

This approach ensured that the grease recovery unit operated efficiently, and staff were confident in managing daily cleaning and servicing schedules.

• Improved grease management, reducing the risk of blockages and maintenance issues. 

• Compliance with United Utilities regulations, safeguarding the hotel against potential fines or disruption. 

• Streamlined kitchen operations, with staff trained in proper use and daily upkeep of the grease recovery unit. 

• Long-term support from Filta through a tailored maintenance plan, guaranteeing the unit continues to perform at optimal levels.
