Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a Saniflo grease trap under a sink?
Yes, the Sanigrease T24, specifically designed for mobile applications or situations requiring a compact grease trap, is small enough to fit under a professional sink.
Similarly, the Sanigrease T range, intended for restaurant or professional kitchen sinks, can also be installed under the sink. These models offer flexibility in installation, making them suitable for various kitchen layouts.
What are the benefits of a stainless-steel grease trap?
The Sanigrease T series is constructed using a 304 litre stainless steel. This material choice provides several advantages. Stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan for the grease trap, even in a demanding kitchen environment.
Stainless steel is also highly hygienic, making it an ideal material for food service applications where cleanliness is paramount.
How often should I empty my grease trap?
The frequency of emptying your grease trap depends on various factors such as the size of the unit and the amount of grease produced in your kitchen. A larger unit or a kitchen with high grease output will require more frequent emptying.
It is recommended to inspect and clean your grease trap regularly, ideally every few months. This includes checking seals, the cover and float mechanisms to ensure proper operation and prevent grease buildup. Regular maintenance helps maintain optimal performance and prevents blockages.
How do I know what size grease trap I need?
The size of your grease trap will depend on the capacity of your lifting station. Larger units require more robust discharge pumps and larger control panels to handle increased wastewater flows.
The type and size of accessories needed, such as discharge kits and float switches, are often specific to particular lifting station models to ensure they meet performance and installation standards. Contacting our team of experts can help you determine the right size for your needs.
