Passavant Gravity Grease Separators from ACO

When cleaning cooking utensils, crockery and equipment, residual FOG runs down through the drains and can cause odours as well as pipe blockages, which can lead to flooding and result in expensive maintenance work. FOG can also cause pollution to the environment and be a serious health risk. To prevent the pollution of FOG, there are regulations in Australia that must be followed. Commercial kitchen and food processing facilities are required to have grease traps installed otherwise they face severe legal ramifications.

ACO has developed and refined its Passavant range of gravity grease traps that provide comprehensive service to the commercial kitchen and food processing industries, designed to separate Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) from wastewater in these environments.

To ensure that kitchens and food processing facilities maintain the industry-level regulations, ACO has developed above and below ground grease traps. Either type may be used, depending on the facility and application requirements. The below-ground grease trap, Lipumax, is installed beneath the ground surface, while the EcoJet model is positioned on the ground surface. The ideal choice of trap type is dependent on several factors including location within the facility, and the space available.
