Pre-Strainers: The Key to a working Grease Trap!
Did you know that as solid waste collects in your grease trap the capacity is diminished, decreasing its ability to separate and capture grease, even to the point of complete ineffectiveness? The best product to keep your grease trap operating correctly is a Grease Trap Pre-Strainer.
One of the primary causes of drain clogging and backflow in restaurants is the waste and debris that comes from food preparation and ware-washing sinks. These grease trap pre-strainers intercept 98% of solid particles from wastewater before they reach your drains, grease trap, and facility piping. Features of the Grease Trap Pre-Strainer include:
- Removable tray allows user to empty solids into a trash receptacle in seconds

- Adjustable height for easy installation

What size grease trap do I need?
One of the most common questions we get is, what size grease trap do I need for my restaurant or kitchen? Determining what size grease trap to purchase is surprisingly simple to do. First measure the dimension of your sink or sinks. Then following the following formula:
Determine the flow rate of your sink:
1. Calculate the capacity of the sink in cubic inches by multiplying length by width by depth. If you have multiple compartments or sinks, add the capacity of sinks together to find total cubic inches:
_____ x _____ x _____ = _______ Cubic Inches
Length x Width x Depth
2. Convert the capacity from total cubic inches to gallons per minute (GPM) by dividing by 231:
_______ Cubic Inches ÷ 231 = _______ GPM
3 . Adjust for displacement (displacement takes into consideration the actual usable capacity of your sink):
_______ GPM x 0.75 = _______ GPM
4. Determine the flow rate and drainage period. Assume a 1 minute drainage period unless conditions permit a 2 minute drainage period. Drainage period is the actual time it takes to completely drain the fixture.
_______ GPM ÷ ________ drainage period = _________ GPM
(1 or 2 min) (Flow Rate)
5. Select interceptor from this Grease Trap Table which corresponds with the flow rate calculated. Round up to the next largest size.
