Types of Restaurant Grease Trap Interceptors
No two restaurants are the same, but luckily there aren’t too many different types of grease trap interceptors to choose from. Passive grease traps are small units, ideal for smaller kitchens that can be fitted under the sink. Automatic grease removal units (AGRU) are more advanced systems that separate and store grease automatically. For even larger-scale operations, you can explore external units that go underground.
When it comes to choosing the right grease trap interceptor for your restaurant, consider:
- The quantity and type of fats, oils and grease that your trap will be dealing with
- The placement and positioning of the trap
- Choose a trap made of a durable material such as stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic
- Remember you will need to clean, empty and maintain the trap, so ensure you can access it
- Make sure to use a solution that adheres to the UK water authority standards

What are grease interceptor traps?
Grease interceptor traps are drainage devices that are designed to capture fats, oils and grease before they the enter plumbing and drainage system. For restaurants using grease interceptor traps, this can help to prevent blockages, which can cause costly repairs or compliance issues.
Do all restaurants need a grease trap?
Yes, in the UK all food service businesses need to install grease management systems to prevent fats, oils and greases from entering the sewage network. This helps to protect the water system and reduces environmental pollution, as well as helping to prevent a grease build-up in your pipes. Non-compliance with the regulations can lead to hefty fines.
