The Past

Conventional grease traps have long been a thorn in the side of catering professionals. Grease traps are used to collect and store food solids and grease waste through the sink washing process. Over time, this food and grease mix gathers and forms a type of smelly slurry.

Regular treatment by expensive enzymes can reduce grease build up to an extent, but have no effect on the waste food making it difficult to guage results. This waste mix can cause bad smells (especially in warmer weather) in the kitchen / deli and surrounding areas. The only way to monitor the grease trap is to open it which is not a pleasant job. If a full trap is not noticed it will overflow into the sewer system creating expensive clean up costs.

Under current legislation , the grease trap contents must be collected by a licensed waste collection company and be incinerated at a hugh cost. Waste collection and pipe maintenance can cause hugh disruption in a kitchen or retailing environment.

Janitorial Direct ireland is proud to introduce the Drainsaver, a revolutionary filtration product that keeps drains clear, reduces cost and protects the environment. The Drainsaver greatly reduces the amount of wet wates solids contained in the water from food prep and pre rinse sinks. Liquid containing the wet waste is directed to the unit where it flows through a specially designed membrane. The membrane creates a passage for liquid to escape while retaining wet waste solids and grease. The filtration bag is changed in seconds without fuss or mess, and the bag can be put out with regular waste.

The Drainsaver captures up to 90% of all wet waste solids and grease at source, protecting your pipes from clogs and maintenance easing the burden on local sewage treatment facilities. For caterers and retailers that have existing grease traps a JDI unit is of particular benefit, greatly reducing regular maintenance costs. Payback can occur in less then a year.
