Optimise cleaning, improve hygiene & manage FOG

Commercial kitchens are challenging environments in which to work. Whether you run a sizeable commercial kitchen or are the owner-manager of a small café, your choice of drainage and grease management solution can have a major impact upon operational costs, hygiene and health and safety.

Good drainage can improve kitchen hygiene by preventing the spread of bacteria, improving employee health and safety via the removal of a potential slip hazard, being quick and easy to clean, and can prevent the build-up of fats, oils and grease (FOG) in your drainage and the wider sewer system.

Mananging grease effectively through installation of a grease trap or separator enables you to avoid blocking up your kitchen drainage and losing time, money and business while having to organise drain unblocking.

Gullies may be preferred, but where box channels are used, a narrow, shallow system with a built-in gradient is advantageous.
