Compact or under-sink options
Often suited to kitchens with a tight footprint where the install needs to work around limited back-of-house space.
System selection
Which grease trap do I need for my kitchen?
Many kitchen owners want to avoid being sold the wrong unit just because it is the easiest quote to send.
The real decision
The best grease trap depends on the kitchen, not just the product list
The right recommendation should fit the output of the kitchen, the available room, the practical install conditions and how the system will be cleaned and serviced afterwards.
Questions that shape the answer
What needs clarifying first
- • How much grease does the kitchen realistically produce?
- • How much room is there for the system and for maintenance access?
- • Is the current issue poor maintenance, poor sizing or the wrong system type?
- • Does the site need a quick replacement or a fuller survey-led recommendation?
- • Is the kitchen trying to keep upfront cost down while still avoiding a poor long-term choice?
Typical categories
The main options kitchen owners usually compare
This helps explain system choice without turning the page into a product catalogue.
Larger passive systems
Often more suitable where grease volume is higher and a smaller compact trap is unlikely to cope well over time.
Automatic grease removal systems
More relevant for kitchen owners looking for a more engineered arrangement rather than relying only on simpler passive separation.
External or below-ground systems
Best considered where the kitchen demand, access or site layout makes an external arrangement more practical.
