Grease separators
As soon as sewage containing grease is produced and discharged in the catering or meat-processing industries, sewer systems need to be protected from deposits that are difficult to remove and sewage treatment plants need to be relieved as best as possible. Suitable grease separators must therefore be installed wherever such sewage is produced. Zehnder Pumpen offers high-quality grease separators for your kitchen in a hotel, restaurant, canteen or butcher's shop. Please convince yourself of the high quality!
Correct use of grease separators
According to regulations, grease separators must be used in every catering, food processing or similar industry in which sewage containing grease is produced and removed. In particular, this is the case in the kitchens of hotels, restaurants or canteens, but also in all meat-processing businesses such as butchers. If a grease separator is not used, in violation of the regulations, this can lead to deposits in the sewage system that are difficult to remove. Failure to comply with the regulations not only results in a fine, but can also lead to serious economic consequences. In accordance with the costs-by-cause principle, the aim is to ensure that animal and vegetable fats and oils are properly separated and disposed of directly at the source, for example in catering and kitchens. The grease separator systems from Zehnder Pumpen are in conformity with DIN EN 1825-1/DIN EN 1825-2 and the German annex DIN 404-100. This is where all standards for the systems and regulations for their use are specified. It is important to note that the grease separator systems should be emptied at least once a month, but at the latest when the filling capacity has been reached, depending on the requirements.
How grease separators work
In a nutshell, grease separators work according to the principle of gravity. Oils and fats float to the top due to the difference in density compared to water and form a layer of grease. In this way, the substances in the system separate all by themselves, which means that the oil and grease can then be retained and does not end up in the sewage system.
When installing the grease separator system in your kitchen, please note that those installed below the backflow level also require a lifting unit for connection to the sewage system.
Grease separators from Zehnder for your needs
Are you looking for a grease separator for your commercially used kitchen as well? In that case, you are guaranteed to find the right model for your needs. It is important to note that there are different variants, which differ in the type and location of installation in particular. For example, you may need grease separators for freestanding installation in buildings or grease separators for underground installation outside buildings. Zehnder Pumpen provides mobile (small) grease separators as well. Our grease separator systems are also available in various sizes, which you can select depending on the volume of sewage produced. If you have any questions or would like advice, our team will be happy to help you plan and select the right grease separator.
