GREASE TRAPS

Discharge of grease into sewers causes pipe blockages and hinders the performance of sewage treatment plants. Grease traps are required wherever fats and greases are discharged to the drainage system.

The BMS Grease Trap range has been designed to suit the needs of catering facilities large and small, and the food and meat processing industries.

All BMS Grease Traps are manufactured from Corrosion Proof Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) material, ensuring extended operation compared to other materials. The design of the Grease Traps and the materials used in the grease traps are compliant with the current guidelines I.S EN 1825-1:2001-Grease separators -Part 1: Principles of Design, Performance and Testing, Marking and Quality control and I.S EN1825-2: Part 2: Selection of Nominal Size, Installation,Operation and Maintenance.

At the grease trap inlet a solids tray collects food particles carried in the wastewater. The water is cooled inside the trap allowing the fats and grease to separate out and rise to the surface.

Grease traps should be fitted upstream of foul sewers at a suitable distance from the source allowing the wastewater to cool to below 40 degrees Celcius before entering the trap. As a general guide the distance should not be less than 4m.

For indoor installations, double-lipped sealed access covers can be supplied.

Regular inspection of the grease trap is recommended. Cleaning intervals will depend on the frequency of use.

Full maintenance instructions are supplied with each unit.

The BMS Grease Trap range is manufactured in Longford under the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System.
