Grease Trap Pump Out
WHEN ITS TIME FOR GREASE PUMP-OUT
Often, busy restaurants are unaware that a pump-out or cleaning is required until it is too late. It can be difficult to keep track of the proper time to plan a cleaning because a restaurant’s pump-out and cleaning schedule is dependent on a variety of parameters, including trap size, seating capacity, business, and cooking processes.
However, you’ll need to use the 1/4th rule to figure out if it should be one or three. This rule indicates that a pump-out is required once 1/4th of your grease trap has been loaded with fats, oils, grease, and solids (FOGS). Once your trap is 1/4 filled, it will no longer be functional, resulting in unpleasant odors, poor sink drainage, and blockages in your lines. Restaurants are frequently compelled by law to clean their grease traps every 90 days. As a result, in addition to the 1/4th rule, your restaurant should be aware of any local government legislation or restrictions. These can differ by city, town, or county, so check to see if your restaurant complies with local regulations. Fines may be imposed if certain requirements are not followed.
GREASE PUMP-OUT SERVICE
Normally, you can see inside the trap when looking into it, but when the trap is full, surplus grease stiffens at the top, forming a cap. Because of the grease and filth accumulation, water flow via the drain becomes difficult, resulting in delayed waste movement. Clogged drains can cause a slew of other issues.
5 Signs That Your Restaurant’s Grease Trap Needs to Be Cleaned:
- When the drainage in your restaurant is clogged or slow.
- When the overall liquid depth is at least 25% grease.
- When a bad odor emanates from the industrial kitchen.
- When it’s been far too long.
- When you come into grease in unexpected locations.
