Grease separator plays an extremely important role in sewage systems, especially in places with high production of fatty waste. Its main task is to separate fats and oils from water, which effectively prevents blockages and contamination in the sewage system.

Places such as restaurants, hotels, bars and food processing plants are the main sources of excess fat generation. These places prepare food that often contains large amounts of fat. When washing dishes, kitchen equipment or floors, these fats can get into the sewage system, which leads to blockages and other problems.

Therefore, proper operation of the grease separator is crucial. This not only prevents congestion problems, but also protects the environment from pollution. Fats and oils that get into the sewage system can end up in rivers and lakes, causing serious damage to the ecosystem.

You are looking for a separator petroleum substances? Look - Coalescence separators are devices designed to separate substances petroleum products from water. The term "coalescence" refers to the ability of tiny drops of a substance to combine to form larger units. Coalescing separator is connected to settler, often called a sandbox, and they have filtr with coalescing insert. They are mainly used to clean fats and other petroleum substances.

Maintenance and regular cleaning of the grease separator are equally important. If it is not properly maintained, it may not function properly, leading to the above problems. Regular cleaning and inspection of the device ensures that it will work effectively for a long time.

How do fat separators work?

Under-counter grease separators are specially designed devices that use the natural properties of fats, oils and greases (FOG) to separate them from water. The principle of their operation is based on the density difference between fats and water.

Fats, oils and greases tend to float on the surface of the water due to their lower density. In practice, this means that when wastewater containing fats is fed into the separator, the fats rise to the top, forming a layer on the water surface. On the other hand, heavier solid particles, such as food scraps or other contaminants, sink to the bottom of the separator due to their higher density compared to water.

The internal structure of the separator is designed to make the most of these natural processes. It can be equipped with special partitions or sieves that help in the effective separation of fats from water. In addition, regular cleaning and maintenance of the separator is essential for its effective operation, as over time accumulated fats can reduce its efficiency.

After separation of fats and solid particles, clean water is directed further to the sewage system. This water is much less polluted, minimizing the risk of blockages, environmental pollution and other problems associated with improper disposal of fats.

Many countries have laws regarding the use of grease separators, especially in places such as restaurants and food processing plants. They are essential to ensure that fats and oils do not end up directly in the sewage system, which could lead to serious environmental and infrastructural problems.

Types of fat separators:

  1. Hydromechanical– smaller, mounted close to the place of use. They use a baffle system to collect fat.
  2. Gravitational – larger ones, usually located outdoors or underground. They use gravity to separate the fat from the water.
  3. Automatic grease removal units – they use a blade to automatically remove the fat into a separate container.

Navotech product:

The Navotech company, known for providing modern technological solutions, has introduced a solution called LIPO to the market. This is a response to the growing demand of the catering and processing industry for effective methods of eliminating excess fat from water waste.

The product from the LIPO line has been designed for places where the problem of excessive fat formation is particularly acute. It can be a restaurant kitchen, a food processing plant or a hotel kitchen. In these places, greases, oils and greases (FOG) generated during daily operation can lead to serious sewage and environmental pollution problems.

The key feature of the LIPO separator is its compact design, which allows the device to be installed directly below kitchen worktop. Thanks to this, it does not take up additional space in the kitchen and at the same time guarantees effective operation where it is needed most. Since quartz sinters They found their place in kitchens, as tables and assembly stations, thanks to processing CNC CNC separators are also installed under such equipment elements made of sintered quartz.

The operation of the LIPO fat separator is intuitive, which means that the kitchen staff can quickly learn how to use the device properly. The maintenance process has also been simplified, resulting in lower maintenance costs and longer separator life. Regular cleaning and inspection of the appliance ensure that it is operating at maximum efficiency, effectively capturing grease and preventing it from entering the drain system.

In addition, Navotech makes sure that the LIPO product is not only functional, but also aesthetic. Modern design and high-quality materials used for production make the device perfectly fit into the decor of modern kitchens.

Summation

The plumbing system in commercial kitchens is exposed to heavy loads, especially in areas where large-scale food preparation is carried out. One of the main problems that such kitchens face is excess fat, oil and grease (FOG) ending up in the drain. These substances can lead to blockages, pipe damage and other problems with your sewage system.

To prevent these problems, it is crucial to use the right fat separators. These solutions work by exploiting the difference in density between the fats and the water, allowing the fats to be effectively separated from the water. This keeps grease out of the main sewer system, significantly reducing the risk of blockages and other problems.

Products from Navotech are one of the leading products in this category. Its advanced design and high-quality workmanship guarantee effective and reliable operation. Moreover, Navotech pays attention to the ease of use and maintenance of its product. Thanks to this, the kitchen staff can easily and quickly clean the separator regularly, which is crucial for its proper functioning.

An additional advantage of the LIPO fat separator is its compact size and modern design. It can be mounted directly under the worktop, saving valuable space in the kitchen. Its aesthetic appearance makes it fit perfectly into the decor of modern commercial kitchens.

Modern commercial kitchens need modern solutions that will help them meet the challenges of maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of the sewage system. These products from Navotech are the answer to these needs, offering reliability, effectiveness and ease of use. For owners of restaurants, hotels and other catering establishments, investing in such solutions is a step towards ensuring long-term and trouble-free operation of their kitchen.
