Proper grease trap cleaning and maintenance is an essential part of a commercial kitchen’s grease management routine. If the trapped grease is not removed properly the FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) collected will overwhelm the fat trap causing it to pass on into the drain-line leading to blockages in local drainage and potential fatbergs in the sewer networks.

Filta Group are specialists in grease trap cleaning and maintenance. Using Filta’s specially developed grease trap cleaning process and equipment we carry out cleaning of grease traps with minimal disruption to your operation. The steps to clean a grease trap are:

1. Our engineers use Filta’s odour-guard to control smells
2. Using a unique vacuum unit we remove all grease quickly and quietly
3. We clear all silt from the system
4. We clean and wipe down all surfaces
5. We remove waste and provide a Waste Transfer Note

The service frequency of grease traps depends on the volume of effluent passing through the unit. Typical cleaning is on a 90-day basis.
