the big dipper grease trap system: the ultimate solution for grease management

In any commercial kitchen, from bustling restaurants to busy hotel facilities, managing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is an unavoidable challenge. Without an effective solution, grease build-up can cause costly blockages, foul odours, and potential legal trouble due to strict UK regulations.

At serious**, we specialise in providing cutting-edge kitchen solutions to keep your operations running smoothly and sustainably. One of our flagship products, the Big Dipper Grease Trap System, is revolutionising grease management for businesses across the UK.

what is a grease trap and why do you need one?

Grease traps are essential for intercepting FOG before it enters your drainage system. Without a reliable grease trap, your kitchen's waste can quickly accumulate in pipes, leading to blockages, back-ups, and even closures.

In the UK, businesses are legally required to manage grease waste responsibly. Water authorities enforce strict regulations, and failure to comply can result in hefty fines and disruption to your business.

• Automatic separation: The system continuously captures FOG while allowing water to pass through.
• Self-cleaning technology: The collected grease is automatically skimmed and stored in a sealed container for easy disposal.
• Compact design: Fits seamlessly under sinks or in tight spaces, making it ideal for commercial kitchens.
