Above Floor Installation of GFS 10L/s Grease Trap

Project Details:


Project Overview:

Our team recently completed the above-floor installation of our GSF 10L/s grease trap for a local mall. The existing grease trap had deteriorated beyond repair, posing multiple challenges to the mall's operations. Working closely with mall management, we addressed their concerns, providing an efficient, high-quality solution that ensured long-term functionality.


Challenges:

  • The old grease trap was in a state of disrepair, leading to frequent blockages and unpleasant odors, causing significant disruptions for the mall’s food court tenants.
  • Mall management was highly concerned about the environmental impact, odor control, and overall performance of their drainage systems.


Our Solution:

  • We replaced the failed system with our state-of-the-art GFS 10L/s grease trap, designed for above-floor installations.
  • Our unique, airtight lid design significantly reduces foul odors, providing a cleaner, more pleasant environment.
  • With our commitment to quality workmanship, every detail of the installation was carefully planned and executed, ensuring durability and low maintenance requirements.


Results:

The installation was a huge success, with the mall management praising the quick turnaround time and the professionalism of our team. The new system not only resolved the odor issues but also aligned with the mall's environmental goals. Our solution ensured smooth operations for their tenants while addressing long-standing concerns.

The collaboration with mall management allowed us to solve all issues effectively, leaving the client highly satisfied with the outcome.

Secure and Safe Access Control for Grease Trap Area


Project Overview:

To enhance safety and security within the grease trap area, a robust access control solution was implemented to prevent unauthorized access. This system ensures that only authorized personnel have access, maintaining a high level of safety and compliance with regulatory standards.


Locking Mechanism:

The access control solution is based on a high-quality lock mechanism, designed to restrict access to the grease trap area. Keys are issued exclusively to authorized personnel, ensuring that only those with proper training and responsibility can enter. This minimizes the risk of accidents or tampering by unauthorized individuals.

Installation:The installation was carried out with precision and professionalism by our expert team. Every aspect of the project, from the selection of the lock type to its secure installation, adhered to the highest industry standards. Careful attention was given to ensure the system was seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure.


Customer Satisfaction:

Upon completion, the customer reviewed the installation and signed off without hesitation, expressing full confidence in the safety and security enhancements provided. This successful sign-off reflects the reliability and quality of the access control system, as well as the professional workmanship involved in its installation.


Conclusion:

This project underscores our commitment to delivering secure, safe, and tailored solutions for all areas of grease trap management. By limiting access to authorized personnel only, we have successfully enhanced the safety of the grease trap area.

Project:

Undercover Garage Grease Trap Installation & Optimization

Customer Challenge:
A client reached out to us after experiencing regular blockages and overflow issues in their undercover garage. These persistent problems not only disrupted daily operations but also posed a risk of damaging the surrounding area.


Our Approach:
Upon receiving the call, we promptly arrived on-site to perform a detailed assessment of the grease trap and its installation. During our inspection, we identified the root cause of the blockages and overflow: inadequate pipework that hindered proper flow to and from the grease trap.


  • Our Solution:
    To resolve the issue, we made several crucial changes to the pipework, improving the flow and overall efficiency of the system.


  •  In addition, as a precautionary measure, we recommended and constructed an overflow bund wall around the grease trap. This bund wall acts as a safety barrier, preventing any future overflows from spreading and ensuring that costly clean-up efforts would no longer be necessary.


  • By optimizing the pipework and adding the bund wall, we provided a long-term, reliable solution that not only resolved the customer’s immediate concerns but also safeguarded the site from future risks.


Conclusion:
At our company, we don’t just stop at solving the problem — we go a step further to ensure our customers are protected from recurring issues. Through innovative approaches and a commitment to quality, we delivered a practical and effective solution that aligns with our mission of providing "Environmental Innovations"

Bakery GFS 550 under

counter grease trap

Client: Well-known bakery


Challenge:
The bakery was facing significant issues with their current grease trap system, which was allowing dough and other baking condiments to enter the main sewer line. This posed a threat to their compliance with local regulations and could potentially cause blockages in the sewage system. They reached out to us for a solution.


Assessment:
Upon conducting a thorough assessment of their existing grease trap system, our team identified several key problems:

  • The holes in the grease trap basket were too large, allowing debris to pass through into the sewer line.
  • The separation plates were ineffective at stopping fine maize and other baking ingredients from flowing through the system.


Proposed Solution:
To address these issues, we designed a custom "Bakery Grease Trap" specifically tailored to meet the needs of the bakery’s operations.


Key Improvements:

  • Two-Basket System: We implemented a two-basket system to improve debris capture and waste management. The top basket features a rough mesh for capturing larger particles, while the bottom basket uses a finer mesh to catch smaller particles like dough, maize, and other fine baking ingredients.
  • Enhanced Separation Plates: The separation plates were redesigned to better separate bakery waste, ensuring that fine particles do not bypass the system.
  • Fine Mesh at Outlet: As an additional precaution, we installed a fine mesh system at the outlet side of the grease trap to prevent any remaining fine debris from entering the main sewer line.
  • Installation & Training:
    After completing the installation, our team provided comprehensive training to the bakery staff on how to properly maintain the grease trap. We emphasized the importance of daily maintenance to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the system.


Conclusion:
The customer was highly impressed with the new design and the improvements we made. They commended us for our commitment to solving their problem and providing excellent service. They also appreciated our follow-up even after the project was completed and signed off, which further solidified their trust in our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

This project reflects our core values of providing "Environmental Innovations" and maintaining a high standard of quality and workmanship in every job we undertake.
