Flour Catcher: Stop Flour Blocking Your Drains
Prevent Blocked Drains and Costly Downtime in Fried Food Kitchens
In high‑volume fried food restaurants, flour waste is one of the most common hidden causes of drainage failures. When flour enters the wastewater system, it absorbs water, compacts inside pipework, and hardens over time, leading to slow drainage, foul odours, emergency call‑outs and lost trading hours.
The Filta Flour Catcher is an exclusive, engineer‑designed solution that collects flour from wash‑water before it enters the waste pipes, helping fried chicken restaurants and high‑output kitchens avoid disruption, reduce maintenance costs and protect the environment.
The Problem: Flour in Your Drains
Restaurants producing large volumes of flour‑coated products, particularly fried chicken, face recurring drainage issues caused by flour residue entering sinks during washing‑up.
Common issues include:
Blocked or slow‑running drains
Persistent drain odours
Emergency plumbing call‑outs
Kitchen downtime and operational disruption
Increased environmental risk from food waste discharge
Without proper interception, flour settles in pipework, combines with grease, and creates hardened blockages that are expensive and disruptive to remove.
Controlled Flour Waste at Source
The Filta Flour Catcher is installed as part of the FiltaFOG Cyclone system, capturing flour particles directly from washing‑up water before they can cause problems downstream.
By removing flour at source, the system helps you:
Prevent blocked drains before they occur
